To assign ingress and egress QoS policies to a VPRN L3 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 VPRN L3 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 VPRN service and click Properties. The VPRN Service (Edit) form opens.


On the service navigation tree, expand Site→L3 Access Interfaces, right-click on an L3 access interface choose Properties. The VPRN L3 Access Interface (Edit) form opens.


Click on the QoS tab and configure the Ingress Match QinQ Dot1P parameter.

The QoS tab is configurable only if a port is assigned to the interface.

The Ingress Match QinQ Dot1P parameter is configurable only when the encapsulation type of the port is BCP dot1q, dot1q, or QinQ.


Select an ingress QoS policy in the Ingress Policy panel.

Note: If you select an ingress policy which has a forwarding class mapped to an ingress queue group, you must ensure that the port you selected in To configure an L3 access interface on a VPRN site has the access ingress queue group with the same name created on it.

See To configure Ethernet ports 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 and the Egress Mark QinQ Top Bits Only parameters.

The Egress Mark QinQ Top Bits Only parameter is configurable only when the encapsulation type of the port is BCP dot1q, dot1q, or QinQ.


Configure the required parameters in the Aggregate Rate Limit panel.


Select an egress policy in the Egress Policy panel.

Note: If you select an egress policy which has a forwarding class mapped to an egress queue group, you must ensure that the port you selected in To configure an L3 access interface on a VPRN site has the access egress queue group with the same name created on it.

See To configure Ethernet ports for more information about how to configure Ethernet ports. See Chapter 49, Policies overview for more information about queue group template policies.

Queue Group Template policies are not applicable to L3 interfaces associated with HSMDA ports.

Select an Egress Queue Group Template Policy in the Port Redirect panel.

Note: Selecting an Egress Queue Group Template Policy here 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.

If you are configuring an L3 access interface for a 7705 SAR, or if the port you selected in To configure an L3 access interface on a VPRN site is not an HSMDA port, then save the changes and close the forms.

Otherwise, configure the Packet Byte Offset (bytes) parameter. You must enable the associated Override parameter.


12 

Select a WRR policy in the Egress HSMDA Override panel.


13 

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


14 

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


15 

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


16 

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


17 

Save the changes and close the forms.
