User Manual for the NETGEAR 7300 Series Layer 3 Managed Switch Software
Traffic Conditioning Specify traffic conditioning actions (policing, marking, shaping) to apply to traffic classes
Service Provisioning Specify bandwidth and queue depth management requirements of service levels (EF, AF, etc.)
The policy commands are used to associate a traffic class, which was defined by the class command set, with one or more QoS policy attributes. This association is then assigned to an interface in a particular direction to form a service. The user specifies the policy name when the policy is created.
The DiffServ CLI does not necessarily require that users associate only one traffic class to one policy. In fact, multiple traffic classes can be associated with a single policy, each defining a particular treatment for packets that match the class definition. When a packet satisfies the conditions of more than one class, preference is based on the order in which the classes were added to the policy, with the foremost class taking highest precedence.
This set of commands consists of policy creation/deletion, class addition/removal, and individual policy attributes. Note that the only way to remove an individual policy attribute from a class instance within a policy is to remove the class instance and
The CLI command root is
bandwidth kbps
This command identifies a minimum amount of bandwidth to be reserved for the specified class instance within the named policy using an absolute rate notation. The committed information rate is specified in
Note: The actual bandwidth allocation does not occur until the policy is attached to an interface in a particular direction.
Note: The bandwidth kbps and percent commands are alternative ways to specify the same bandwidth policy attribute.
Note: This command is only supported for GSM7324 and GSM7312.
