Create a Listener Policy

Learn how to create a listener-policy, which is used by an egress to combine interfaces and perform post-processing actions.

About this task

You must observe the following naming conventions when you create a listener policy.

• Name cannot exceed 64 characters.
• Name must start with an alphabetic character or an underscore.
• Name must be an arbitrary sequence of alphabetic characters, numerals, underscores, hyphens, or dots.
• Name must not be a reserved keyword (see the Extreme 9920 Software Command Reference, 21.1.0.0 for more information).

Note

Sequence ID is required when you create a listener policy; it defines the order in which it is to be processed (see the Extreme 9920 Software Command Reference, 21.1.0.0 for more information).

1. Run the configure terminal command to access Config mode.
   The command line changes to configuration mode.

   

   device(config)# 

2. Create a listener policy by running the command listener-policy name seq.
   

   device(config)# listener-policy lpl 10
   device(config-listener-policy)# match ip access-list v4_jumbo_traffic
   device(config-listener-policy)# truncate 512
   device(config-listener-policy)# end
   device#

3. Run the following show command to confirm the listener policy was created.
   

   device# show listener-policy lp1
   show listener-policy lpl
   listener-policy lpl 10
   forward-action permit
   match ip access-list v4_jumbo_traffic (pending)
   truncate 512
   Policy matches: 0  packets, 0  bytes, 0 Packets/sec, 0 Bits/sec
