Making filters by using QoS class-maps

Matching on eth-format and protocol

Ethernet format and protocol are specified together, as a pair. You can either specify the command as:

match eth-format <keyword> protocol <keyword-or-number>

or

match protocol <keyword-or-number> eth-format <keyword>

The switch allows you to match on any of the Ethernet formats, as the following output shows:

awplus(config-cmap)#match eth-format ?

Protocol options are also extremely flexible. You can identify common protocols by their name, or you can identify any protocol by using its hexadecimal protocol number.

Applying the class-maps to a policy-map

To create a policy-map, enter global configuration mode and use the command:

awplus(config)#policy-map <name>

Then add the class-maps to the policy-map. Make sure you add them in the order in which you want the switch to check them—see “The logic of the operation of the hardware filters” on page 13. For each class-map, use the command:

awplus(config-pmap)#class <name>

Applying the policy-map to ports

To apply the policy-map to ports, enter interface mode for the ports you want to apply it to. Use the commands:

awplus(config)#interface port1.0.11

awplus(config-if)#service-policy input <policy-name>

This makes it suitable for data centers and large enterprise networks where space and bandwidth optimization are critical.

In addition to scalability, the x908 series supports advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching capabilities. This allows for efficient traffic management and routing, ensuring that data is delivered swiftly and reliably. The x908 also incorporates intelligent features such as Quality of Service (QoS), which prioritizes critical network traffic, ensuring that time-sensitive data—like voice and video—maintains its quality during transmission.

The SwitchBlade x900 series takes this functionality further with its innovative modular architecture. This allows organizations to configure their networks to meet specific needs by choosing from a variety of interface cards and service modules. The SwitchBlade x900 also supports advanced security features such as Access Control Lists (ACLs) and VLAN segmentation, which provide enhanced protection against unauthorized access and network threats.

Another hallmark of the x908 and SwitchBlade series is their support for high-speed Ethernet technologies, including 10G and 40G Ethernet. This enables organizations to keep pace with the increasing bandwidth demands of applications and services, particularly in cloud computing and data-intensive workloads.

Both the x908 and the SwitchBlade x900 series are designed with energy efficiency in mind, featuring power-saving technologies that reduce overall operational costs. Coupled with Allied Telesis' management tools, which provide detailed analytics and monitoring, network administrators can optimize performance and energy consumption simultaneously.

In summary, the Allied Telesis x908 and SwitchBlade x900 series offer a comprehensive suite of features, high performance, scalability, and advanced networking technologies. They represent a strategic investment for organizations looking to build resilient, efficient, and future-proof network infrastructures.
