Network IP interface forwarding class-based redirection

About this task

Forwarding class redirection for a network IP interface is defined in a four-step process:

Procedure

  1. Create an ingress or egress queue group template with the appropriate queues or policers.
  2. Apply an instance of an ingress queue-group template created in step 1 (containing only policers) to the FP ingress network configuration context of card X. In addition, or alternatively, apply an instance of an egress queue-group template created in step 1 to the network egress configuration context of port Y.
  3. Configure the network QoS policy used on the IP interface to redirect ingress traffic to a policer ID (defined in the ingress queue-group template created in step 1) on the basis of forwarding-class and forwarding-type (unicast vs. multicast). In addition, or alternatively, configure the network QoS policy to redirect egress traffic to a queue ID and, or a policer ID based on forwarding-class.
  4. Apply the network QoS policy to the network IP interface and at the same time specify the ingress and, or egress queue-group instances associated with the interface.
