To assign ingress and egress QoS policies to a VLL L2 access interface

Before you begin

The available panels and parameters vary depending on the NE, chassis type, and release.

If you are assigning QoS policies to an access interface on a 7210 SAS NE, see To assign ingress and egress QoS policies to a VLL L2 access interface on a 7210 SAS site.

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 QoS tab.


Configure the Ingress Match QinQ Dot1P parameter.

The Ingress Match QinQ Dot1P parameter is configurable only on Epipe L2 access interfaces. The Ingress Match QinQ Dot1P parameter is not configurable if the port encapsulation type is ATM or FR.


Select an ingress QoS policy in the Ingress Policy panel.

Note: For Epipe and Ipipe VLL L2 access interfaces, if you select an access ingress policy which has a forwarding class mapped to an ingress queue group, you must ensure that the port you are configuring for the Epipe or Ipipe L2 access interface has the access ingress queue group with the same name created on it.

See To configure Ethernet ports in Chapter 16, Port and channel object configuration for more information about how to configure Ethernet ports. See Chapter 49, Policies overview for more information about queue group template policies.


Select an ingress queue group template policy in the Forwarding Plane Redirect panel.


Configure the Instance ID parameter in the Forwarding Plane Redirect panel.

Note: The Instance ID parameter cannot be configured for Ipipe on Ethernet ports.


Configure the Egress Mark QinQ Top Bits Only parameter.

The Egress Mark QinQ Top Bits Only parameter is configurable only on Epipe L2 access interfaces.


10 

Configure the required parameters in the Aggregate Rate Limit panel.


11 

Select an egress policy in the Egress Policy panel.

Note: For Epipe and Ipipe VLL L2 access interfaces, if you select an access egress policy which has a forwarding class mapped to an egress queue group, you must ensure that the port you are configuring for the Epipe or Ipipe L2 egress interface has the access egress queue group with the same name created on it.

See To configure Ethernet ports in Chapter 16, Port and channel object configuration for more information about how to configure Ethernet ports. See Chapter 49, Policies overview for more information about queue group template policies.


12 

Select an egress queue group policy in the Port Redirect panel.

Note: Selecting an Egress Queue Group Template Policy permits the redirection of Ethernet traffic packets to a queue ID specified in the egress port queue group of the SAP. The following properties and restrictions apply:

  • If an Egress Queue Group Template Policy is specified here, the policy must have port redirection enabled.

  • You cannot use policy-based redirection with the queue group when the SAP has SAP-based redirection enabled.

  • Port access egress redirection is only supported on Ethernet/LAG ports. It is not supported on SAPs bound on non-Ethernet, Eth-tunnel, or CCAG ports.

  • Supported ports include access, hybrid, and HSMDA.

  • Queue groups can be applied to SAPs that incorporate LAGs. The LAGs can include port members from just a single card or from multiple cards.

  • If you edit a LAG incorporated by the SAP, you cannot remove the last LAG member if a queue group reference exists to the containing SAP.

  • You cannot add a secondary LAG member that has a queue group mismatch with primary LAG member.


13 

If you are configuring an L2 access interface for a 7705 SAR, or if the port you selected in Step 6 of To create a VLL L2 access interface on a terminating site is not an HSMDA port, then go to Step 21 .


14 

Configure the Packet Byte Offset (bytes) parameter. You must enable the associated Override parameter.


15 

Select a WRR policy in the Egress HSMDA Override panel.


16 

In the Shaper Group panel, select a Shaper Group for the access ingress port or access egress port .


17 

In the IXR Specific panel, select an Egress Remark policy and Egress VLAN QoS policy, as required. See To configure a 7250 SROS Remarking policy and To configure a 7250 SROS VLAN QoS policy.


18 

Select an HSMDA egress secondary shaper policy in the Egress HSMDA Override panel.


19 

Configure the Use Shared Queue parameter.


20 

Select an HS secondary shaper in the HS Overrides panel, if required.


21 

Save the changes and close the forms.
