To configure forwarding path options or resource allocation on a 7250 IXR

Purpose

Supported releases of the 7250 IXR allow custom forwarding path options such as 802.1x Host Authentication, or resource allocation for resource-intensive functions such as multicast, ACL classification criteria, policers, etc.

A reboot of the NE is required for changes made using this procedure to take effect.

Depending on the 7250 IXR release, the displayed tabs and parameters may vary.

Steps
 
1 

On the equipment tree, right-click on a supporting 7250 IXR NE and choose Properties. The Network Element (Edit) form opens.

2 

Click the Globals tab, then click the Forwarding Path tab.

3 

Configure the parameters, as required.

4 

Click the Options subtab and configure the required parameters.

Note: Forwarding path option resources are shared. When some functions are enabled, others may be disabled. The NFM-P displays an error message when mutually exclusive functions are selected.

Note: After you change the administrative state, enable the Reboot Required check box to reboot the NE and apply the changes.

5 

Click the Resource Allocation subtab and configure the required parameters on the following subtabs:

  • General

  • Filter Ingress IPv4

  • Filter Ingress IPv6

  • Policer Application Group. To configure the policer scale:

    1. Choose an item in the list and click Properties. The Policer Application Group form opens.

    2. Click on the Policer Application subtab, choose an item, and click Properties. The Application Group (Edit) form opens.

    3. Configure the required parameters.

      When the Override Administrative State and Override Operational State parameters on the General subtab are enabled, you cannot modify the scale values.

After the configuration, the Reboot Required parameter is enabled.

Click the LPM subtab and configure the scale options.

Save your changes and close the form.
