Classifiers

Maximum number per PFE

64

L2 classifiers (sum of ieee-802.1 + ieee-802.1ad cannot exceed 32)

DSCP and inet-precedence classifiers (sum of dscp + inet-precedence classifiers cannot exceed 32)

dscp-ipv6 classifiers

exp classifiers

dscp

Yes

DSCP and IP precedence classifiers cannot be configured on the same logical interface.

dscp-ipv6

Yes

Separate classifiers can be applied for IPv4 and IPv6 packets per logical interface.

ieee-802.1p

Yes

You can associate ieee-802.1p with any other type of classifier on the same logical interface. For L3 packets, an L3 classifier takes precedence over an IEEE classifier.

inet-precedence

Yes

 

mpls-exp

Yes

 

Loss priorities based on the Frame Relay discard eligible (DE) bit

No

 
Drop Profiles

Maximum number

32

You can configure up to 32 drop profiles in the PTX chassis.

Per queue

Yes

 

Per loss priority

Yes

 

Per Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) bit

No

 
Policing

Traffic policing

Yes

 

Two-rate tricolor marking (TCM)

Yes

 
Queuing

Priority

Yes (4)

 

Per-queue output statistics

Yes

Red-dropped counters are not maintained per drop precedence. Also tail drop counters always show zero because packets are always dropped by the RED algorithm.

Rewrite Markers

Maximum number per PFE

64

The sum of L2 and L3 rewrite rules cannot exceed 64.

dscp

Yes

 

dscp-ipv6

Yes

 

ieee-802.1

Yes

L2 and L3 rewrites can be applied to the same packet simultaneously.

inet-precedence

No

 

mpls-exp

Yes
