Before configuring SAP egress aggregate meter on a SAP, the user must reallocate the resources from the egress-internal-tcam pool toward the SAP egress meters using the CLI command configure>system>resource-profile>egress-internal-tcam>egress-sap-aggregate-meter. For more on the egress-sap-aggregate-meter command, see the 7210 SAS-D, Dxp, K 2F1C2T, K 2F6C4T, K 3SFP+ 8C Basic System Configuration Guide. The egress-internal- tcam pool resources are shared with other features such as egress ACLs.
The SAP egress aggregate policer is not FC and profile aware. The packets scheduled out of the per-port queues are on a first-come-first-served basis and limits the amount of traffic to the configured rate across all the FCs for a SAP.
For more information about the optional parameter enable-stats, of the configure>service>vpls>sap>egress>aggregate-meter-rate CLI command, see the7210 SAS-D, Dxp, K 2F1C2T, K 2F6C4T, K 3SFP+ 8C Basic System Configuration Guide. This option associates a counter with the meter to count the forwarded packets/octets and dropped packets/octets. If the option and accounting is enabled for the SAP, service egress accounting records contain the forwarded and dropped counts.
