On the 7210 SAS-R6 and 7210 SAS-R12, if using per-SAP egress queuing instead of port-based egress queuing, the per-SAP egress aggregate shaper rate can be used instead of this feature.
Before configuring a 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 configure>system>resource-profile>egress-internal-tcam>egress-sap-aggregate-meter CLI command. See the 7210 SAS-Mxp, R6, R12, S, Sx, T Basic System Configuration Guide or details about the egress-sap-aggregate-meter command. 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.
See the 7210 SAS-R6, R12 Services Guide or 7210 SAS-Mxp, S, Sx, T Services Guide for details about the optional enable-stats command under the configure service vpls sap egress aggregate-meter-rate CLI command. This command associates a counter with the meter to count the forwarded and dropped packets and octets. If the command is enabled, and accounting is enabled for the SAP, service egress accounting records contain the forwarded and dropped counts.
