To assign QoS policies to a 7210 SAS Ethernet port

Before you begin

Perform this procedure to assign QoS policies to a 7210 SAS Ethernet port, or to enable table-based ingress classification on the port for supporting 7210 SAS NEs.

The policies that can be assigned to a 7210 SAS Ethernet port vary depending on the port mode.

Table 16-5: 7210 SAS QoS policies and port modes

7210 SAS QoS policy

Supported port mode

Port scheduler policy

All port modes

Port access egress policy

Access

Network policy (of port type)

L2 uplink, network, hybrid

Network queue policy

L2 uplink, network, hybrid

7210/7250 DSCP classification policy

Access

Support for port modes and policies also varies depending on the chassis type. For more information, see 7210 SAS QoS policies and the NE documentation.

Slope policies for Ethernet ports are assigned to QoS pools (buffer pools) on the port; see To configure Ethernet ports .

Network policies of network interface type are assigned to L3 network interfaces; see To create an L3 network interface on a routing instance and To configure L3 network interfaces .

When you assign a 7210 and 1830 network policy that has an associated MPLS LSP-EXP classification policy, the port must be in network mode.

For ports on 7210 SAS-K12 NEs, when you assign a 7210 and 1830 network policy that has an associated remarking policy, the port must be in network mode if the remarking policy is one of the following types:

  • DOT1P-LSP-EXP

  • DOT1P-LSP-EXP-DSCP

  • DSCP-LSP-EXP

  • LSP-EXP

Steps
 
1 

On the equipment tree, navigate to a configured Ethernet port object on a 7210 SAS device. The path is Network→NE→Shelf→Card Slot n→Daughter Card Slot n→Port n/n/n.

2 

Right-click on a configured Ethernet port object and choose Properties. The Physical Port (Edit) form opens.

3 

Click on the Policies tab, then click on the 7210 Specific tab.

Note: The policies that can be assigned vary depending on the chassis type and port mode.

4 

Select a port scheduler policy.

For information about how to create a 7210 and 1830 Port Scheduler policy, see To configure a 7210, 7250 and 1830 Port Scheduler policy .

5 

Select an access egress policy.

For information about how to create a 7210 and 1830 Port Access Egress policy, see To configure a 7210 and 1830 port access egress policy .

6 

Configure table-based ingress classification for the port. Perform the following:

  1. Configure the parameters in the Ingress Classification Policy panel.

  2. Select a 7210/7250 DSCP classification policy in the DSCP Classification Policy panel.

    The selected policy is effective only when the Enable Table Classification parameter is enabled.

    For information about how to create a 7210/7250 DSCP classification policy, see To configure a 7210/7250 DSCP classification policy.

7 

Select a network policy.

For information about how to create a 7210 and 1830 Network policy, see To configure a 7210 and 1830 network policy .

When the Enable DEI parameter is selected on a hybrid port, the network policy assigned to the port must be configured to use DEI as the profile. The Default FC Profile parameter and the Profile parameter on the Ingress Dot1p tab in the policy must be set to the DEI option. See To configure a 7210 and 1830 network policy .

8 

Select a network queue policy.

For information about how to create a 7210 and 1830 Network Queue policy, see To configure a 7210 and 1830 network queue policy .

9 

Save your changes and close the forms.
