To configure a 7210 remarking policy

Purpose

A 7210 remarking policy maps forwarding classes and profile states to dot1p, DE, DSCP, and LSP-EXP bit values for access egress or network egress traffic. Policies are created as one of the following types:

  • DOT1P

  • DSCP

  • LSP-EXP

  • DOT1P-DSCP

  • DOT1P-LSP-EXP SHARED

  • DOT1P-LSP-EXP

  • DSCP-LSP-EXP

  • DOT1P-LSP-EXP-DSCP

A 7210 remarking policy can be assigned to:

  • a 7210 and 1830 port access egress policy; see To configure a 7210 and 1830 port access egress policy . The remarking policy must be of type DOT1P, DSCP, DOT1P-DSCP, or DOT1P-LSP-EXP SHARED.

  • a 7210 SAP access egress policy; see To configure a 7210 SAP access egress policy . The remarking policy must be of type DOT1P, DSCP, DOT1P-DSCP, or DOT1P-LSP-EXP SHARED.

  • a 7210 and 1830 network policy; see To configure a 7210 and 1830 network policy . If the network policy is of port type, the remarking policy must be of type DOT1P, DSCP, DOT1P-DSCP, DOT1P-LSP-EXP, DOT1P-LSP-EXP-DSCP, or DSCP-LSP-EXP. If the network policy is of network interface type, the remarking policy must be of type LSP-EXP or DOT1P-LSP-EXP SHARED.

The NFM-P provides two default remarking policies:

  • policy ID 1: DOT1P-DSCP type

  • policy ID 2: DOT1P-LSP-EXP SHARED type

Policy ID 1 is the default for port-type network policies; policy ID 2 is the default for network interface-type network policies. Default policies cannot be deleted or modified. A default 7210 remarking policy is assigned unless a user-configured remarking policy is explicitly assigned. You can view the default mapping of FCs and profiles to dot1p, DSCP, and LSP-EXP bit values by clicking on the Forwarding Classes tab of the properties form for the default policy.

The 7210 remarking policy is supported on the 7210 SAS-K, 7210 SAS-Mxp, 7210 SAS-R, 7210 SAS-S, 7210 SAS-Sx, 7210 SAS-T, and 7210 SAS-X. Support for specific parameters and features varies, depending on the chassis type. Local definitions of a policy do not necessarily support all configurations in the global policy. See the NE documentation for more information.

Note: To avoid synchronization and deployment errors when you create remarking policies using a CLI on the 7210 SAS-X, Nokia recommends that you create each remarking policy separately and allow at least three seconds between each policy creation.

Steps
 
1 

Choose Policies→QoS→SROS QoS→Egress Remarking→7210 Remarking from the NFM-P main menu. The 7210 Remarking Policies form opens.

2 

Click Create or choose an existing policy and click Properties. The 7210 Remarking Policy (Create| Edit) form opens.

3 

Configure the required parameters on the General tab and click Apply.

Note: You cannot modify the Type parameter after the policy is created.

4 

Configure the mapping of forwarding classes, profiles, and remark values:

  1. Click on the Forwarding Classes tab.

  2. Choose a forwarding class and click Properties. The 7210 Remark Forwarding Class form opens.

  3. Configure the required parameters.

    The available parameters vary, depending on the remarking policy type and the settings for other parameters on the form.

    For DOT1P and DOT1P-DSCP remarking policy types, settings for the Dot1p and Force DE value parameters take effect when the Mark DE bits parameter is set to true.

  4. Save your changes and close the form.

5 

Click Distribute to distribute the policy to NEs. See To release and distribute a policy for more information.

6 

Click Apply to save the policy or click OK to save the policy and close the form.
