Defining CoS Multidestination (Multicast, Broadcast, DLF) BA Classifiers
Packet classification associates incoming packets with a particular CoS servicing level. Behavior aggregate (BA) classifiers examine the Differentiated Services code point (DSCP) value or IEEE 802.1p CoS value in the packet header to determine the CoS settings applied to the packet. BA classifiers allow you to set the forwarding class and loss priority of a packet based on the incoming CoS value.
 | Note: DSCP IPv6 multidestination classifiers are not supported. IPv6 multidestination traffic uses the DSCP multidestination classifier. |
Multidestination classifiers apply to all of the switch interfaces and handle multicast, broadcast, and destination lookup fail (DLF) traffic. You cannot apply a multidestination classifier to a single interface or to a range of interfaces.
Unicast and multidestination traffic must use different classifiers.
To configure a multidestination BA classifier using the CLI:
- Create a DSCP or IEEE 802.1p classifier and associate
it with a forwarding class, a loss priority, and a code point:
[edit class-of-service classifiers]
user@switch# set (dscp | ieee-802.1) classifier-name forwarding-class forwarding-class-name loss-priority level code-points [aliases] [bit-patterns] - Configure the classifier as a multidestination classifier:
[edit class-of-service]
user@switch# set multi-destination classifiers (dscp | ieee-802.1) classifier-name
