Class of Service (CoS)

Supported Platforms

• BlackDiamond X8 and BlackDiamond 8800 series switches
• Summit X770, X670, X670-G2, X480, X460, X460-G2, X450-G2, X440, and X430 series switches
• E4G-200 and E4G-400 cell site routers

Limitations

• CoS reference tables have a fixed mapping.
• Both global and per-port meters cannot be configured at the same time on platforms that require the port meter map table.
• Per-port meter out-of-profile counters are not accurately supported.
• Flood out-of-profile counters and actions are the aggregate of all flood types (unknown unicast, multicast, and broadcast) for a given port.
• On Summit X670-G2 and X770 series switches and on BlackDiamond X8 modules: BDXB-100G4X, BDXB-100G4X-XL, and BDXB-40G12X-XL, when hybrid scheduling is configured on ports (WxRR with some queues in Strict-Priority), the SP queues must be contiguous

Note

For the above command, the show screen for the rate-limit flood configuration now shows the port-group option. A separate screen shows the configured out-actions. Another screen shows a per-port out-of-profile status that indicates that the flood limit is exceeded on the port. Another screen show ports that are disabled.

The show access-list meter command now shows per-port meter out-of-profile counters for meters that are applied using ACL rules. The output shows the additional syslog,

The clear access-list meter command now allows the clearing of the out-of-profile per-port meters counters. When a per-port meter is specified, it clears the counter for the rule associated with the meter.

The show port information details command displays the default dot1p priority used for the internal priority for untagged traffic on a specified port. Additionally, it displays the per-port/per-qosprofile dot1p and diffserv examination status.
