To configure a 7210 and 1830 network queue policy

Purpose

A 7210 and 1830 network queue policy defines the following for egress queues on a network-facing port:

  • CIR and PIR as a percentage of port bandwidth

  • scheduling priority mode and weight

  • WRED slope parameters and burst size values, using an assigned queue management policy or slope policy

  • burst size values; these are either system-defined, configured directly in the policy, or defined in an assigned queue management policy, depending on the NE

7210 and 1830 network queue policies are assigned to network-facing ports (network, L2 uplink, or hybrid ports); see To assign QoS policies to a 7210 SAS Ethernet port . The supported port types vary, depending on the NE chassis type; see the NE documentation for more information.

7210 and 1830 network queue policies are identified by the policy name and description; policy ID numbers are not used.

The NFM-P provides default 7210 and 1830 network queue policies. A default policy is applied unless another network queue policy is explicitly assigned. The local definition of the default policy varies depending on the chassis type. See the 7210 SAS Quality of Service Guides for more information.

All 7210 SAS chassis types support the 7210 and 1830 network queue policy. Support for specific parameters and features varies, depending on the chassis type. Local definitions of the policy do not necessarily support all configurations in the global policy. See the NE documentation for more information.

Steps
 
1 

Choose Policies→QoS→SROS QoS→Network Queue→7210 and 1830 Network Queue from the NFM-P main menu. The 7210 and 1830 Network Queue Policies form opens.

2 

Click Create or choose a policy and click Properties. The Network Queue, Global Policy (Create|Edit) form opens.

3 

Configure the required parameters on the General tab.

4 

Configure the required queues.

  1. Click on the Queues tab. Eight default queues are displayed.

  2. Select a queue and click Properties. The NQueue Entry, Network Queue form opens.

  3. Configure the required parameters.

  4. Select a queue management policy in the Queue Management Policy panel. See To configure a 7210 and 7250 Queue Management policy for more information about queue management policies.

  5. Select a slope policy in the Slope Policy panel. See To configure a 7210 and 1830 slope policy for more information about slope policies.

  6. Configure the CIR and PIR for the queue. Click on the CIR/PIR tab and configure the parameters.

  7. Configure burst size parameters for the queue. Click on the Burst Size tab and configure the parameters.

  8. Save your changes and close the form.

5 

Configure FC-to-queue mapping.

  1. Click on the Forwarding Classes tab.

  2. Click Create, or choose an FC and click Properties. The Forwarding Class form opens.

    The Create button is not available when the Displayed Name parameter on the General tab is set to default; see Step 3 .

  3. Configure the required parameters.

  4. Save your changes and close the form.

6 

Click OK to save the policy and close the form, or click Apply to save the policy. See To release and distribute a policy to distribute the policy to NEs.
