Marking Overview (CLI)
When enabled, PTP 850’s marking mechanism modifies each frame’s 802.1p UP bit and CFI/DEI bits according to
the classifier decision. The CFI/DEI (color) field is modified according to the classifier and policer decision. The color
is first determined by a classifier and may be later overwritten by a policer. Green color is represented by a CFI/DEI
value of 0, and Yellow color is represented by a CFI/DEI value of 1. Marking is performed on egress frames that are
VLAN-tagged.
The marking is performed according to global marking tables that describe the 802.1p UP bits and the CFI bits (for
C-VLAN tags) or DEI bits (for S VLAN tags). The marking mode attribute in the service point egress attributes
determines whether the frame is marked as Green or Yellow according to the calculated color.
Note
The calculated color is sent to the queue manager regardless of whether the marking bit is set.
Regular marking is only performed when:
•
The outer frame is S-VLAN, and S-VLAN CoS preservation is disabled
•
The outer frame is C-VLAN, and C-VLAN CoS preservation is disabled
If marking and CoS preservation for the relevant outer VLAN are both disabled, special marking is applied. Special
marking means that marking is performed, but only according to the values defined for Green frames in the
802.1Q and 802.1AD marking tables.
When marking is performed, the C-VLAN or S-VLAN 802.1p UP bits are re-marked according to the calculated CoS
and Color.
Configuring Marking Mode on a Service Point (CLI)
To enable or disable marking mode on a service point, go to service view for the service and enter the following
command:
service[SID]>sp marking set spid <sp-id> mode <mode>
