R6.1 Configuration Note

Hybrid Ports

Introduction

 

Starting from 6.1R2 and onwards, the 7705 SAR supports hybrid port mode, which combines access and network modes on a single port. This allows management and user traffic to flow on the same port at the same time.

 

At the egress direction of the hybrid port, a new set of dual-rate shapers for the aggregate of the access and the aggregate of the NW traffic is introduced to ensure rate-based arbitration among access and NW traffic. Committed and peak rates can be configured in the shapers.

 

The goal of this configuration note is to provide configurations of the hybrid port and egress traffic shaper policies.

 

 

 


Setup

 

In the diagram below, two SAR-Ms are connected together via hybrid ports. Traffic is generated by IXIA.

 

        Figure 1 - Network setup

Prerequisites

 

-      Network setup as shown in the diagram above.

-      Hybrid port mode is configured on the ports connecting SAR-M-143 and SAR-M-144.

-      IGP and MPLS enabled.

-      Distributed Epipe service 100 is for the network traffic. 

-      Local Epipe service 200 is configured for the management traffic.


-      Node SAR-M-143 Config:

Configure port mode to be “hybrid” and apply shaper policies:

The “encap-type” needs to be set to “dot1q”.

 

A:SAR-M-143# configure qos shaper-policy network

A:SAR-M-143>config>qos>shaper-policy# info

----------------------------------------------

            shaper-group default create

                description "Default Shaper Group."

                rate max cir 50000

            exit

----------------------------------------------

 

A:SAR-M-143# configure qos shaper-policy management

A:SAR-M-143>config>qos>shaper-policy# info

----------------------------------------------

            shaper-group default create

                description "Default Shaper Group."

                rate max cir 3000

            exit

----------------------------------------------

 

 

A:SAR-M-143# configure port 1/1/7

A:SAR-M-143>config>port# info

----------------------------------------------

        ethernet

            mode hybrid

            encap-type dot1q

            network

                egress

                    shaper-policy network

                exit

            exit

            access

                egress

                    shaper-policy management

                exit

            exit

            egress-rate 53000

        exit

        no shutdown

----------------------------------------------

 

 

Configure the network side and the access side on port 1/1/7:

VLAN 100 carries network traffic, whereas VLAN 200 carries management traffic. The underlying IGP and MPLS configurations are not shown here. They need to be configured properly to get the service operationally up.

 

A:SAR-M-143# configure router interface to-SAR-M-144

A:SAR-M-143>config>router>if# info

----------------------------------------------

            address 10.143.144.1/30

            port 1/1/7:100

            dhcp

                shutdown

            exit

----------------------------------------------

 

A:SAR-M-143# configure service epipe  200

A:SAR-M-143>config>service>epipe# info

----------------------------------------------

            sap 1/1/6:200 create

            exit

            sap 1/1/7:200 create

            exit

            no shutdown

----------------------------------------------

 

 

Note: SAR-M-144 has a similar configuration.

 

 

 

Hybrid port stats: since the traffic generator is sending more than the configured egress-rate, the drop counter is incrementing.

Note: “egress queue stats” from “show port xxx detail” is for the network port only.
