Configuring queue group for network ingress traffic on forwarding plane

The provisioning steps involved in using a queue-group for ingress traffic on a network interface are:

• Queue Group Template Creation:

  • Create the ingress queue group template.

  • Create the policers within the queue group template.

• Queue Group Creation:

  • Identify the ingress forwarding plane on which the queue group is needed.

  • Create a queue group with the same name as the template in the FP ingress network configuration context. An instance ID is mandatory.

• Map a Forwarding Class to the policer-id within the queue group:

  • Identify or create the network QoS policy that is used on the ingress IP interface where queue redirection is needed.

  • Map the needed ingress forwarding classes within the network QoS policy to the specific policer IDs within the group (the group name is supplied when the QoS policy is applied to the IP interface).

• Apply the network QoS policy:

  • Identify or create the IP interface requiring forwarding class redirection to the queue group.

  • Assign the QoS policy to the IP interface and specify the queue group name and instance ID for redirection of ingress traffic.
