Choose Manage→Service→Services from the NFM-P main menu. The Manage Services form opens.

Configure the filter criteria and click Search. A list of services appears.

Choose a VPLS and click Properties. The VPLS Service (Edit) form opens.

On the service tree, expand Sites→site→L2 Access Interfaces.

Right-click the L2 access interface and choose Properties. The VPLS L2 Access Interface (Edit) form opens.

Click on the Schedulers tab and configure the required parameters.

Note: The Schedulers tab is configurable only if a port is assigned to the interface.

To configure scheduling on a 7210 SAS site, enable and configure the required parameters in the Egress Aggregate Rate Limit panel and go to Step 30 .

To configure scheduling on a 7705 SAR site:

Note: For the 7705 SAR, scheduler behavior is determined by the scheduler mode, which is 4-Priority by default. You can only configure the Egress and Ingress Aggregate Rate Limit parameters when the Scheduler Mode parameter is set to 16-Priority. You can set the Scheduler Mode to 16-Priority only when the port is on an MDA that supports 16-Priority. See the 7705 SAR documentation for more information.

If you change the Scheduler Mode parameter from 16-Priority to 4-Priority, the NFM-P automatically restores the default settings for the Egress Aggregate Rate Limit and Ingress Aggregate Rate Limit panels when you Apply your changes.

1. In the Egress Scheduler panel, configure the Scheduler Mode parameter.

2. In the Ingress Scheduler panel, configure the Scheduler Mode parameter.

3. If you set the Scheduler Mode parameter to 16-Priority in the Egress Scheduler panel or Ingress Scheduler panel, configure the required parameters in the Egress Aggregate Rate Limit panel and Ingress Aggregate Rate Limit panel.

4. Go to Step 30 .

To apply an aggregation scheduler policy to the interface:

Note: You cannot specify an access scheduler policy if the port you selected To create a VPLS or MVPLS L2 access interface is an HSMDA port. Go to Step 30 .

1. Set the Aggregation parameter to On.

2. Select an aggregation scheduler in the Aggregation Scheduler panel.

3. Go to Step 30 .

To specify that an aggregation scheduler policy is not being applied to the interface, set the Aggregation parameter to Off.

Note: The Aggregation parameter is not configurable if the port you selected in To create a VPLS or MVPLS L2 access interface is an HSMDA port.

Select an ingress scheduler in the Ingress Scheduler panel to choose an ingress scheduler.

Configure the required parameters.

The Aggregate Rate Limit (kbps), Frame-Based Accounting, and Limit Unused Bandwidth parameters are configurable only when there is no scheduler specified in the Egress Scheduler panel.

The Frame-Based Accounting parameter is not configurable if the port you selected in To create a VPLS or MVPLS L2 access interface is an HSMDA port.

You cannot specify an egress scheduler when the Aggregate Rate Limit (kbps) parameter is set to a value greater than zero.

Select an ingress policer control policy in the Ingress Policer Control Policy panel.

Click Create in the Ingress Policer Control Override panel. The Ingress Policer Control Override (Create) form opens.

Configure the required parameters.

Click the Level Override Policy Items tab.

Select an item from the list and click Properties. The Ingress Policy Policer Level Override form opens.

Click the Override tab.

Configure the override for the Maximum Cumulative Buffer Space (bytes) parameter.

Close the forms.

If the port you selected in To create a VPLS or MVPLS L2 access interface is an HSMDA port, go to Step 30 .

Select an egress scheduler in the Egress Scheduler panel.

Select an egress policer control policy in the Egress Policer Control Policy panel.

Click Create in the Egress Policer Control Override panel. The Egress Policer Control Override (Create) form opens.

Configure the required parameters.

Click the Level Override Policy Items tab.

Select an item from the list and click Properties. The Egress Policy Policer Level Override form opens.

Click the Override tab.

Configure the override for the Maximum Cumulative Buffer Space (bytes) parameter.

Save the changes and close the forms.
