Configuring the Distribution Layer Role

Configuring the Policy Role

The distribution role is configured with:

• A profile-index value of 7
• A name of distribution
• A default CoS when no rule overrides CoS
• TCI overwrite enabled

  Distribution(rw)->set policy profile 7 name distribution cos-status enable cos 4 tci-overwrite enable

Assigning the Traffic Classification to the Policy Role

Assign ports ge.1.1-26 to the distribution policy role, specifying the associated ports 1 - 26, enable traps and enable syslog.

Distribution(rw)->set policy rule admin-profile port ge.1.1-26 admin-pid 7 port-string ge.1.1-26 trap enable syslog enable.

Assigning Traffic Classification Rules

Assign a CoS to distribution up and down stream link ports, rate-limiting the traffic to 25M.

Distribution(rw)->set policy rule 7 port ge.1.1-26 cos 11
Distribution(rw)->set policy rule 7 port ge.2.1-26 cos 11

Enable Enhanced Policy Capabilities on the Distribution Platform

The Distribution platform supports a number of policy capabilities not available on the Fixed Switch platforms. The following enhanced policy capabilities are enabled: policy accounting to flag the occurrence of a rule hit, syslog rule usage set to machine-readable for backend syslog statistics gathering, an invalid action set to default policy should an invalid policy occur, TCI overwrite enabled to allow for Type of Service (ToS) overwrite for the VoIP phone.

ServicesES(rw)->set policy accounting enable
ServicesES(rw)->set policy syslog machine-readable
ServicesES(rw)->set policy invalid action default-policy
ServicesES(rw)->set port tcioverwrite ge.1.1-26
ServicesES(rw)->set port tcioverwrite ge.2.1-26
