Configuration notes and feature limitations
Note the following when configuring traffic policies:
•
Traffic policies are supported.
•
This feature is supported in the Layer 2 and Layer 3 code.
•
This feature applies to IP ACLs only.
•
The maximum number of supported active TPDs is a system-wide parameter and depends on
the device you are configuring. The total number of active TPDs cannot exceed the system
maximum. Refer to
“Maximum number of traffic policies supported on a device”
•
You can reference the same traffic policy in more than one ACL entry within an access list. For
example, two or more ACL statements in ACL 101 can reference a TPD named TPD1.
•
You can reference the same traffic policy in more than one access list. For example, ACLs 101
and 102 could both reference a TPD named TPD1.
•
To modify or delete an active traffic policy, you must first unbind the ACL that references the
traffic policy.
•
When you define a TPD (when you enter the CLI command traffic-policy), explicit marking of
CoS parameters, such as traffic class and 802.1p priority, are not available on the device. In
the case of a TPD defining rate limiting, the device re-marks CoS parameters based on the
DSCP value in the packet header and the determined conformance level of the rate limited
traffic, as shown in
.
•
When you define a TPD, reference the TPD in an ACL entry, then apply the ACL to a VE in the
Layer 3 router code, the rate limit policy is accumulative for all of the ports in the port region. If
the VE/VLAN contains ports that are in different port regions, the rate limit policy is applied per
port region.
For example, TPD1 has a rate limit policy of 600M and is referenced in ACL 101. ACL 101 is
applied to VE 1, which contains ports e 11 to e 14. Because ports e 11 and 12 are in a
different port region than e 13 and14, the rate limit policy will be 600M for ports e 11 and 12,
and 600M for ports e 13 and 14.
