Service ingress QoS policies

About this task

To create a service ingress policy, perform the following.

Procedure

  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 a default FC for the policy.

    All packets received on an ingress SAP using this ingress QoS policy are classified to the default FC.

  4. Define FC parameters by performing the following.
    • Modify the unicast/queue default value to override the default unicast forwarding type queue mapping for fc fc-name.

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

    • Associate a meter for fc fc-name, if required, for both unicast and BUM traffic types.

  5. 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 appropriate ingress meter and corresponding FC for matched traffic.

  6. Create a SAP-ingress policy using 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.
