To configure scheduling on a VPRN L3 access interface

Steps
 
1 

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

2 

Choose a VPRN service and click Properties. The VPRN Service (Edit) form opens.

3 

On the service navigation tree, expand Site→L3 Access Interfaces, right-click on an L3 access interface choose Properties. The VPRN L3 Access Interface (Edit) form opens.

4 

Click on the Schedulers tab and configure the required parameters.

Note: The Schedulers tab is configurable only if a port is assigned to the SAP in To configure an L3 access interface on a VPRN site .

5 

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

6 

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 on the Apply or OK button.

  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 parameters in the Egress Aggregate Rate Limit panel and Ingress Aggregate Rate Limit panel.

7 

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 To configure an L3 access interface on a VPRN site is an HSMDA port.

  2. Configure the required parameters.

    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 To configure an L3 access interface on a VPRN 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. Select an ingress policer control policy in the Ingress Policer Control Policy panel.

  5. If the port you selected in To configure an L3 access interface on a VPRN site is an HSMDA port, go to Step 8 .

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

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

  8. Go to Step 9 .

8 

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

Note: You cannot specify an access scheduler policy if the port you selected in To configure an L3 access interface on a VPRN site is an HSMDA port. Go to Step 9 .

  1. Set the Aggregation parameter to On.

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

9 

Save the changes and close the forms.
