Configuring IPv6 Egress Rate Limiting

Before you begin, perform the following tasks:

  • Create a Policy map with the appropriate Class Map and Police configurations.

  • Enable IPv6 Optimised profile. Will not work with Default profile.

Note

Note

IPv6 egress rate limiting is only supported on SLX 9740/Extreme 8820 devices.
  1. Enable the ipv6-optimised profile. 
    SLX # configure terminal
SLX (config) # hardware
SLX (config-hardware)# profile tcam ipv6-optimised
SLX (config-hardware)# end
SLX (config)#
  2. Create an IPv6 Extended ACL. 
    SLX (config)# ipv6 access-list extended ipv6acl
seq 100 permit ipv6 4001::/64 any
  3. Create a class map. 
    SLX (config)# class-map class-map_1
SLX (config-classmap)# match access-group ipv6acl
  4. Create a policy map. 
    SLX (config)# policy-map policy-map_1
SLX (config-policymap)#
  5. Apply the class map to the policy map. 
    SLX (config-policymap)# class class-map_1 
SLX (config-policymap-class)#
  6. Create a Police entry for this policy map. 
    SLX (config-policymap-class)# police cir 300000 eir 300000000
SLX (config-policymap-class)#
  7. Apply the policy map.

    • Apply to the interface. 

      SLX (config)# int eth 0/1
SLX (config-if-eth-0/1)# service-policy out policy-map_1

    • Apply to the port-channel. 

      SLX (config)# interface port-channel 10
SLX (config-port-channel-10)# service-policy out policy-map_1

    • Apply to the VE interface in the ingress direction 

      SLX (config)# interface ve 100
SLX (config-ve-100)# service-policy in policy-map_1

    • Apply to the VE interface in the egress direction 

      SLX (config)# interface ve 100
SLX (config-ve-100)# service-policy out policy-map_1

The following example summarizes the configuration of IPv6 rate limiting on an ethernet interface for egress traffic. 

SLX(config)# ipv6 access-list extended ipv6acl
SLX(conf-ipacl-ext)# seq 100 permit ipv6 4001::/64 any 
SLX(conf-ipacl-ext)# exit
SLX(config)# class class-map_1
SLX(config-classmap)# match access-group ipv6acl
SLX(config-classmap)# exit
SLX(config)# policy-map policy-map_1
SLX(config-policymap)# class class-map_1
SLX(config-policymap-class)# police cir 300000 eir 300000000
SLX(config-policymap-class)# exit
SLX(config-policymap)# exit
SLX(config)# int eth 0/1
SLX(conf-if-eth-0/1)# service-policy out policy-map_1
SLX(conf-if-eth-0/1)# exit
SLX(config)#

The following example summarizes the configuration of IPv6 rate limiting on a port-channel for egress traffic. For the configuration of the policy-map refer to the previous section. 

SLX (config)# interface port-channel 10
SLX (config-port-channel-10)# service-policy out policy-map_1

This example summarizes the configuration of IPv6 rate limiting on a VE interface for ingress traffic. 

SLX (config)# interface ve 100 
SLX (config-ve-100)# service-policy in policy-map_1

This example summarizes the configuration of IPv6 rate limiting on a VE interface for egress traffic. 

SLX (config)# interface ve 100 
SLX (config-ve-100)# service-policy out policy-map_1
