Traffic Class Commands

 

 

 

 

Command

 

Purpose

 

 

ML_Series(config)# class-mapclass-map-name

Specifies the user-defined name of the traffic class. Names can be a

 

 

maximum of 40 alphanumeric characters. If match-allor

 

 

match-anyis not specified, traffic must match all the match criteria

 

 

to be classified as part of the traffic class.

 

 

There is no default-match criteria.

 

 

Multiple match criteria are supported. The command matches either

 

 

all or any of the criteria, as controlled by the match-alland

 

 

match-anysubcommands of the class-mapcommand.

 

 

Note The ML-100T-8 supports a maximum of 126 user-defined

 

 

class maps, plus one default class map named

 

 

“class-default”. The ML-Series card on the ONS 15454

 

 

SONET/SDH supports a maximum of 254 user-defined

 

 

class maps, plus one default class map named

 

 

“class-default”.

 

 

ML_Series(config)# class-mapmatch-all

Specifies that all match criteria must be met for traffic entering the

class-map-name

 

traffic class to be classified as part of the traffic class.

 

 

ML_Series(config)# class-mapmatch-any

Specifies that one of the match criteria must be met for traffic

class-map-name

 

entering the traffic class to be classified as part of the traffic class.

 

 

ML_Series(config-cmap)# match any

Specifies that all packets will be matched.

 

 

ML_Series(config-cmap)# match bridge-group

Specifies the bridge-group-number against whose contents packets

bridge-group-number

are checked to determine if they belong to the class.

 

 

ML_Series(config-cmap)# match cos cos-number

Specifies the CoS value against whose contents packets are checked

 

 

to determine if they belong to the class.

 

 

ML_Series(config-cmap)# match input-interface

Specifies the name of the input interface used as a match criterion

interface-name

 

against which packets are checked to determine if they belong to the

 

 

class.

 

 

The shared packet ring (SPR) interface used in RPR (SPR1) is a

 

 

valid interface-name for the ML-Series card. For more information

 

 

on the SPR interface, see Chapter 14, “Configuring Resilient Packet

 

 

Ring on the ML-Series Card.”

 

 

The input-interfacechoice is not valid when applied to the INPUT

 

 

of an interface (redundant).

 

 

ML_Series(config-cmap)# match ip dscp

Specifies up to eight DSCP values used as match criteria. The value

ip-dscp-value

 

of each service code point is from 0 to 63.

 

 

ML_Series (config-cmap)# match ip precedence

Specifies up to eight IP precedence values used as match criteria.

ip-precedence-value

 

 

 

 

Creating a Traffic Policy

To configure a traffic policy, use the policy-mapglobal configuration command to specify the traffic policy name, and use the following configuration commands to associate a traffic class, which was configured with the class-mapcommand and one or more QoS features. The traffic class is associated

15310-CL, 15310-MA specifications

Cisco Systems has established itself as a leader in the networking domain, offering a wide array of solutions to meet the needs of modern businesses. Among its impressive product lineup are the Cisco 15310-CL and 15310-MA routers, designed to provide advanced network performance and reliability.

The Cisco 15310-CL is a versatile platform that primarily serves as a carrier-class router aimed at supporting high-speed data and voice services. It is built to handle the demands of large enterprises and service providers, offering a robust design that ensures maximum uptime and performance. One of its standout features is its modular architecture, which enables users to customize their configurations based on specific application needs. This scalability allows for future expansion without the need for a complete hardware overhaul.

Key technologies integrated into the Cisco 15310-CL include high-density Ethernet interfaces and a comprehensive suite of Layer 2 and Layer 3 protocol support. The device is capable of supporting multiple types of connections, including TDM, ATM, and Ethernet. This flexibility makes it an ideal choice for organizations that require seamless migration between various service types. Moreover, with features such as MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) support and advanced Quality of Service (QoS) mechanisms, the router ensures that critical applications receive the necessary bandwidth and low latency required for optimal performance.

In contrast, the Cisco 15310-MA focuses on access solutions, providing a cost-effective entry point for businesses looking to enhance their network capabilities. It is well-suited for smaller offices or branch locations that need reliable connectivity without the expense and complexity associated with larger systems. The device supports a range of access methods and provides essential features like firewall capabilities, VPN support, and comprehensive security measures to protect sensitive data.

Both models benefit from Cisco's commitment to security and manageability, offering features like enhanced encryption protocols and user authentication mechanisms that help safeguard networks against threats. Additionally, they can be managed through Cisco’s intuitive software tools, simplifying configuration and monitoring tasks for IT administrators.

The Cisco 15310-CL and 15310-MA are ideal solutions for businesses seeking to enhance their network infrastructure, ensuring firms can keep pace with evolving technology demands while maintaining a focus on security and performance. Their combination of advanced features, modular capabilities, and robust support makes them valuable assets in the networking landscape.
