Queue Group policies

General Information

There are three types of Queue Group policies:

• Queue Group Ingress Template policies: are used for Access Ingress Queue Group creation on Ethernet access ports; see To configure a queue group ingress template policy.

• Queue Group Egress Template policies: are used for Access Egress Queue Group and Network Egress Queue Group creations on Ethernet ports; see To configure a queue group egress template policy.

  Queue Group template policies allow you to define the queuing and parenting structure for queue groups on Ethernet ports. The policy defines the number and types of queues within the port queue group, and provides the default queue parameters. Queue Group Template policies are not applicable to L3 interfaces associated with HSMDA ports.

  Queue Group Template policies are used in the following network applications:

  • Access SAP queue group applications

  • Network port queue groups for network interfaces

• Queue Group Redirect List policies: are used to provide QoS control to map IPv4 and IPv6 traffic using a single VXLAN or VXLAN GPE Virtual Network Identifier (VNI) to an ingress access queue group instance or a port access egress queue group instance. Each entry in the redirect list policy matches to a specific VNI which then maps it to a specific queue group instance. A maximum of 16 match statements can be configured in a queue group redirect list. Queue Group Redirect List policies are supported on both egress/ingress physical interfaces (SAPs) that support IES or VPRN services. See To configure a queue group redirect list policy.

See Chapter 71, Queue groups for more information about queue groups, the associated network components, and typical applications.

Default policer queue group

The system maintains a special default egress queue group template policy that is applied automatically to all Ethernet ports. The default policer-output-queues policy is configured with two queues:

• Queue 1: configured with a forwarding class value of Best Effort.

• Queue 2: configured with a forwarding class value of Expedite.

All other parameters are default. You cannot delete the default policer-output-queues policy.
