Choose Policies→QoS→SROS QoS→Network→Network from the NFM-P main menu. The Network Policies form opens.

Click Create, or choose a policy and click Properties. The Network Policy (Create|Edit) form opens.

Configure the required general parameters.

Note: To view or configure the NE policy name parameter, the Show Display Name of Form system preference must be enabled. See the procedure to configure NFM-P system preferences in the NSP System Administrator Guide.

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.

Configure the parameters in the Ingress panel and Egress panel.

If you are configuring a network policy for a 2-port ring adapter MDA on a 7705 SAR NE, perform the following:

1. Set the Network Policy Type for 7705 parameter to Ring. The Ring Dot1p tab becomes available, and other tabs are unavailable.

2. Click on the Ring Dot1p tab and choose an entry, or click Create. The Ring Dot 1 p (Create|Edit) form opens.

3. Configure the required parameters to map dot1p values to queues and profiles.

4. When you finish mapping the required queues, go to Step 11 .

Configure egress forwarding classes.

1. Click on the Egress Forwarding Classes tab. Eight default FCs are displayed.

2. Click Create, or choose an FC and click Properties. The Egress Forwarding Class (Create|Edit) form opens.

3. Configure the required parameters.

   Select the Use check box to configure the Queue ID and Policer ID parameters. A valid entry for the Queue ID parameter must be specified in the queue group template policy.

4. Save your changes and close the form.

Configure ingress forwarding classes.

1. Click on the Ingress Forwarding Classes tab. Eight default FCs are displayed.

2. Click Create, or choose an FC and click Properties. The Ingress Forwarding Class (Create|Edit) form opens.

3. Configure the required parameters.

4. Save your changes and close the form.

To configure the mapping of ingress or egress traffic markings to FCs and profiles, click on the appropriate tab. Mapping is optional and is based on combinations of customer QoS marking for LSP EXP, DSCP, Dot1p, and Precedence. Table 50-9, Network policy traffic-mapping options describes the options.

Table 50-9: Network policy traffic-mapping options

Perform the following steps for each mapping that you want to configure.

1. Click on the required tab.

2. Click Create, or choose an entry and click Properties. A (Create|Edit) form opens.

3. Configure the required parameters.

4. Save your changes and close the form.

Configure ingress match criteria.

1. Click on the Ingress IP Match Criteria or the Ingress IPv6 Match Criteria tab, as required.

2. Click Create. The [IP|IPv6] Match (Create) form opens.

3. Configure the required parameters.

   Match entries are evaluated in numerical order based on the entry ID from the lowest to highest ID value. The first entry that matches all match criteria has its action performed.

4. In the IP Properties panel, select a QoS IP Prefix List policy, as required.

   - For the Source [IP|IPv6] Prefix or Destination [IP|IPv6] Prefix parameters, enable the check box and click Select. The Select [Source|Destination] IPv6 Prefix form opens.

   The Source IP and Source IP Prefix parameters are mutually exclusive. The Destination IP and Destination IP Prefix parameters are mutually exclusive.

   - Click Create, or click Search and choose an existing QoS IP Prefix list policy.

   See To configure a QoS prefix list policy.

   You can assign only one QoS IP Prefix list policy per match entry, either as a Source IP Prefix or a Destination IP Prefix.

5. In the Port Properties panel, select a QoS port list policy, as required.

   - For the Source Port List or Destination Port List parameters, enable the check box and click Select. The Select [Source|Destination] Port List form opens.

   The Source Port and Source Port List parameters are mutually exclusive. The Destination Port and Destination Port List parameters are mutually exclusive.

   - Click Create, or click Search and choose an existing QoS port list policy.

   See To configure a QoS port list policy.

   You can assign only one QoS port list policy per match entry, either as a Source Port List or a Destination Port List.

6. Save your changes and close the form. The new match criteria entry is displayed in the list.

Note: If required, you can renumber the IPv4 or IPv6 match criteria entries in the global policy or in a local definition. Select the entry on the Ingress IP Match Criteria or the Ingress IPv6 Match Criteria tab and click Renumber. The Renumber Entry ID form opens and displays the existing (Old) Entry ID. Configure a New Entry ID and click OK.

Note: The use of the Source IP Prefix parameter in the IP Properties panel within a single entry is mutually exclusive with the [Source|Destination] Port List parameters in the Port Properties panel.

Configure egress match criteria.

1. Click on the Egress IP Match Criteria or the Egress IPv6 Match Criteria tab, as required.

2. Click Create. The Egress IP Match or Egress IPv6 Match (Create) form opens, as appropriate.

3. Configure the required parameters.

   Match entries are evaluated in numerical order based on the entry ID from the lowest to highest ID value. The first entry that matches all match criteria has its action performed.

4. In the Port Properties panel, select a QoS port list policy, as required.

   - For the Source Port List or Destination Port List parameters, enable the check box and click Select. The Select [Source|Destination] Port List form opens.

   - Click Create, or click Search and choose an existing QoS port list policy.

   See To configure a QoS port list policy.

   You can assign only one QoS port list policy per match entry, either as a Source Port List or a Destination Port List.

5. Save your changes and close the form. The new match criteria entry is displayed in the list.

Note: If required, you can renumber the IPv4 or IPv6 match criteria entries in the global policy or in a local definition. Select the entry on the Egress IP Match Criteria or the Egress IPv6 Match Criteria tab and click Renumber. The Renumber Entry ID form opens and displays the existing (Old) Entry ID. Configure a New Entry ID and click OK.

Click OK to save the policy and close the form, or click Apply to save the policy. See To release and distribute a policy to distribute the policy to NEs.
