Configure the required general parameters.

Note: For some of the following steps, the tabs are not available until after the policy is created. Click Apply if required to create the policy and make all tabs available.

Note: NEs that support next-generation CLI use the policy name as the key identifier for internal system reference. For policies on these NEs, you must configure a policy name (typically the service name or a numerical string). Policy IDs are also supported. You must configure a numerical range on the NE for auto-assigned policy IDs; see To configure an Auto-ID range for policies.

Enable the Policers HQoS Manageable parameter if the policers in this policy are to be managed by the Hierarchical QoS process.

If the SAP access egress policy requires the forwarding class to be changed to an alternate queue than the ingress forwarding class determination would have used, or you need to modify the forwarding profile to modify the congestion behavior of the egress queue, select a policy in the Post Policer Mapping Policy panel.

Click Select in the HS panel to associate an alternate HS Attachment Policy other than the default policy. The Select HS Attachment Policy – Egress Queue Group Template Policy form opens.

4. Complete one of the following for each Forwarding Class you configure:

   • If you need to configure a policer, set the Traffic Control parameter for the Use Policer option and go to 5 .

   • If you need to configure a local queue, set the Traffic Control parameter for the Use Queue option and configure the Port Redirect Queue Group parameter as required, then go to 9 .

   • If you need to configure a queue from a queue group, set the Traffic Control parameter to the Use Queue Group option and go to 7 .

5. In the Policers panel, select a policer.

6. Configure the Port Redirect Queue Group parameter as required. If you disable this parameter, then go to 7 . Otherwise go to 9 .

7. In the Queue Group panel, select a Queue Group Template Policy.

8. Configure the Instance ID parameter.

9. In the Queue panel, select a queue.

   Note:

   You cannot map a Forwarding Class to a non-existent or deleted Queue ID. Use the Select button to choose a Queue ID, as opposed to manually entering it in the Queue ID field.

   The queue you can select here is dependent on the Traffic Control parameter setting you chose in 4 , as follows:

   • Use Queue: If you specified this setting, then you can only select a locally-defined queue. The local queue in this context is either the default queue or one you created for this policy in Step 10 . The local queue you select here must be set to a unicast ID. The default ID for unicast queues is 1. Alternatively, you can manually enter 0 if you want the default Queue ID to be used.

   • Use Queue Group: If you specified this setting, then you can only select one of the queues defined in the Queue Group Template Policy you chose in 7 .

     Note:

     If the Use Queue Group option is enabled for the global policy, then the Queue ID you select is validated against the specified Queue Group Template Policy. The Queue ID is validated against the local queues for each local policy instance.

     You cannot delete a Queue Group Template Policy that is referenced by a queue group.

   • Use Policer: If you specified this setting and disabled the Port Redirect Queue Group parameter in 6 , then you can select one of the queues defined in the Queue Group Template Policy you chose in 7 . If you enabled the Port Redirect Queue Group parameter in 6 , then select the required local queue here.
