To configure scheduling on a VLL L2 access interface

Steps
 

Choose Manage→Service→Services from the NFM-P main menu. The Manage Services form opens.


Choose a VLL and click Properties. The VLL_type Service (Edit) form opens.


On the navigation tree, expand Site→L2 Access Interfaces, right-click on the L2 access interface and choose Properties. The VLL L2 Access Interface (Edit) form opens.


Click on the Schedulers tab.

Note: The Schedulers tab is configurable only if a port is assigned to the interface.


To configure egress scheduling on a 7210 SAS site, enable and configure the required parameters in the Egress Aggregate Rate Limit panel and go to Step 9 .


To configure scheduling on a 7705 SAR site:

Note: For the 7705 SAR, scheduler behavior is determined by the scheduler mode, which is 4-Priority by default. You can only configure the Egress and Ingress Aggregate Rate Limit parameters when the Scheduler Mode parameter is set to 16-Priority. You can set the Scheduler Mode to 16-Priority only when the port is on an MDA that supports 16-Priority. See the 7705 SAR documentation for more information.

If you change the Scheduler Mode parameter from 16-Priority to 4-Priority, the NFM-P automatically restores the default settings for the Egress Aggregate Rate Limit and Ingress Aggregate Rate Limit panels when you click Apply or OK.

  1. In the Egress Scheduler panel, configure the Scheduler Mode parameter.

  2. In the Ingress Scheduler panel, configure the Scheduler Mode parameter.

  3. If you set the Scheduler Mode parameter to 16-Priority in the Egress Scheduler panel or Ingress Scheduler panel, configure the required parameters in the Egress Aggregate Rate Limit panel and Ingress Aggregate Rate Limit panel. Otherwise, save the changes and close the forms.


To specify that an aggregation scheduler policy is not applied to the interface:

  1. Set the Aggregation parameter to Off.

    Note:

    The Aggregation parameter is not configurable if the port you selected in Step 6 of To create a VLL L2 access interface on a terminating site is an HSMDA port.

  2. Configure the required parameters.

    Note:

    The Aggregate Rate Limit (kbps), Frame-Based Accounting, and Limit Unused Bandwidth parameters are configurable only when there is no scheduler specified in the Egress Scheduler panel.

    The Frame-Based Accounting parameter is not configurable if the port you selected in Step 6 of To create a VLL L2 access interface on a terminating site is an HSMDA port.

    You cannot specify an egress scheduler when the Aggregate Rate Limit (kbps) parameter is set to a value greater than zero.

  3. Select an ingress scheduler in the Ingress Scheduler panel.

  4. If you are configuring this interface for an Ipipe service then go to 6 .

  5. Select an ingress policer control policy in the Ingress Policer Control Policy panel.

  6. If the port you selected in Step 6 of To create a VLL L2 access interface on a terminating site is an HSMDA port, save the changes and close the forms.

  7. Select an egress scheduler in the Egress Scheduler panel.

  8. If you are configuring this interface for an Ipipe service, save the changes and close the forms.

  9. Select an egress policer control policy in the Egress Policer Control Policy panel.

  10. Save the changes and close the forms.


To specify that an aggregation scheduler policy is applied to the interface:

  1. Set the Aggregation parameter to On.

    Note:

    You cannot specify an access scheduler policy if the port you selected in Step 6 of To create a VLL L2 access interface on a terminating site is an HSMDA port. Go to Step 9 .

  2. Select an aggregation scheduler in the Aggregation Scheduler panel.


Save the changes and close the forms.
