Attaching a Traffic Policy to an Interface

Chapter 11 Configuring Quality of Service on the ML-Series Card

Configuring QoS

Table 11-2	Traffic Policy Commands (continued)

Command		Purpose

ML_Series (config-pmap-c)# priority kbps		Specifies low latency queuing for the currently selected class. This
		command can only be applied to an output. When the policy-map is
		applied to an output, an output queue with strict priority is created for this
		class. The only valid rate choice is in kilobits per second.
		Note This priority command does not apply to the default class.
		Note When using the priority action, the traffic in that class is given a
		100 percent CIR, regardless of the rate entered as the priority rate.
		To ensure that other bandwidth commitments are met for the
		interface, a policer must be configured on the input of all interfaces
		that might deliver traffic to this output class, limiting the peak rate
		to the priority rate entered.
		Note The true configurable bandwidth in kilobits per second is per port
		and depends on how the ML-Series card is configured. The show
		interface command shows the maximum bandwidth of a port (for
		example, BW 100000 Kbit). The sum of all bandwidth and priority
		actions applied to the interface, plus the cos priority-mcast
		bandwidth, is not allowed to exceed the maximum bandwidth of
		the port.

ML_Series (config-pmap-c)# set cos		Specifies a CoS value or values to associate with the packet. The number
cos-value		is in the range from 0 to 7.
		This command can only be used in a policy-map applied to an output. It
		specifies the VLAN CoS priority to set for the outbound packets in the
		currently selected class. If QinQ is used, the top-level VLAN tag is
		marked. If outbound packets have no VLAN tag, the action has no effect.
		This action is applied to the packet after any set-cos action done by a
		policer, and therefore overrides the CoS set by a policer action.
		If a packet is marked by the policer and forwarded out through an interface
		that also has a set-cos action assigned for the traffic class, the value
		specified by the police action takes precedence in setting the IEEE 802.1p
		CoS field.
		This command also sets the CoS value in the RPR header for packets
		exiting the ML-Series on the RPR interface.

Attaching a Traffic Policy to an Interface

Use the service-policyinterface configuration command to attach a traffic policy to an interface and to specify the direction in which the policy should be applied (either on packets coming into the interface or packets leaving the interface). Only one traffic policy can be applied to an interface in a given direction.

Use the no form of the command to detach a traffic policy from an interface. The service-policycommand syntax is as follows:

service-policy {input output} policy-map-nameno service-policy {input output} policy-map-name

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.
