Service ingress classification — IP and MAC packet fields

The IP and MAC match criteria can be very basic or quite detailed. IP and MAC match criteria are assembled from policy entries. An entry is identified by a unique, numerical entry ID. A single entry cannot contain more than one match value for each match criteria. Each match entry has an action which specifies the FC of packets that match the entry. The entries are evaluated in numerical order based on the entry ID from the lowest to highest ID value. The first entry that matches all match criteria has its action performed.

The following tables list the packets fields used for match-criteria used for access SAP-ingress classification.

The 7210 SAS does not support configuring of the frame-type match criteria and the default frame type configured is Ethernet - II; see the following table.

Table: MAC match Ethernet frame types

Frame format

Description

802.3

IEEE 802.3 Ethernet frame. Only the source MAC, destination MAC and IEEE 802.1p value are compared for match criteria.

802dot2-llc

IEEE 802.3 Ethernet frame with an 802.2 LLC header. Only the source MAC and destination MAC address are compared for match criteria.

802dot2-snap

IEEE 802.2 Ethernet frame with 802.2 SNAP header. Only the source MAC and destination MAC address are compared for match criteria.

Ethernet-II

Ethernet type II frame where the 802.3 length field is used as an Ethernet type (Etype) value. Etype values are two byte values greater than 0x5FF (1535 decimal).

Note:

The default frame type configured is Ethernet-II.
