Service ingress QoS policy

Note:

A meter is available to limit the bandwidth per FC on service ingress.

To create a service ingress policy, perform the following.

  1. Define a policy ID value. The system does not dynamically assign a value.

  2. Define a description that provides a brief overview of policy features.

  3. Specify the num-qos-classifiers command. The default value is 2. The number of meters/queue allocated is equal to half the number of classifiers specified.

  4. Specify a default FC for the policy. All packets received on an ingress SAP using this ingress QoS policy will be classified to the default FC.

  5. Define FC parameters by performing the following:

    • Modify the unicast-meter/queue default value to override the default unicast forwarding type meter mapping for fc fc-name.

    • Modify the multicast-meter/queue default value to override the default multicast forwarding type meters/queue mapping for fc fc-name.

    • Modify the multicast-meter/queue default value to override the default unknown unicast forwarding type meter mapping for fc fc-name.

    • Modify the broadcast-meter default value to override the default broadcast forwarding type meter mapping for fc fc-name.

  6. On platforms where applicable, specify the following classification criteria - IPv4/IPv6 or MAC criteria, or both IP and MAC criteria. You can define IPv4/IPv6, MAC-based and MAC and IP based SAP ingress policies to select the ingress meter and corresponding FC for matched traffic.

    A SAP ingress policy is created with a template scope. The scope can be modified to exclusive for a special one-time use policy. Otherwise, the template scope enables the policy to be applied to multiple SAPs.

Example

The following is a sample service ingress policy configuration output.

A:ALA-7>config>qos>sap-ingress# info
