When setting up multiple policies using any of the defa
ult policy actions ID‟s 2 to 9 (i.e.
Standard_Service, Bronze_Service, etc) a lower precedence policy with a drop action,
(i.e. Drop_Traffic), the Drop_Traffic action will effect the higher precedence policies. The
end result is all the higher precedence policies will also be dropped. The reason for this
is each of the default actions, with the exception of Drop_Traffic, uses a drop action of
deferred-Pass
. A drop action of
deferred-Pass
specifies that a traffic flow decision will
be deferred to other installed policies.
To make a policy behave somewhat similar to stop-on-match, you will have to create a new action with a
drop action of
dontDrop
(JDM) or
disable
(CLI).
Statistics accumulation support
– a limited number of counters are available for tracking statistics.
Specifically, 32 counters are available per port for tracking matching (no metering specified) /in-
profile (metering specified) traffic statistics. A total of 63 counters are available (per port) to track
out-of-profile statistics, with the caveat that these counters are associated with the metering
component and fl ows sharing the same meter on the same port use the same counter for
statistics.
The valid precedenc e range for QoS policies is from 1 to 15. However, depending on
the application enabled, the valid precedence range can change as QoS shares
resources with other switch applications including DHCP Relay, MAC Security, IP Fix,
IGMP, EAPOL, EAP multihost (5530-24TFD only), OSPF, IP Sourc e Guard, and ADA C.
Please use the command „
show qos diag’
to view the mask utilization per port.
In releas e 4.1, FCS November 2004, the system default actions (e.g. bronze, silver,
gold, etc.) will be changed from
deferred-P ass
to
dontDrop
.
