Defining CoS Rewrite Rules (J-Web Procedure)

You can use the J-Web interface to define CoS rewrite rules. Use the rewrite rules to alter the CoS values in outgoing packets to meet the requirements of the targeted peer. A rewrite rule examines the forwarding class and loss priority of a packet and sets its bits to a corresponding value specified in the rule.

To define rewrite rules:

  1. Select Configure > Class of Service > Rewrite Rules.

    Note: After you make changes to the configuration on this page, you must commit the changes immediately for them to take effect. To commit all changes to the active configuration, select Commit Options > Commit. See Using the Commit Options to Commit Configuration Changes for details about all commit options.

  2. Click one of the following options:
    • Add—Adds a rewrite rule. Enter information into the rewrite rule page as described in Table 1.
    • Edit—Modifies an existing rewrite rule. Enter information into the rewrite rule page as described in Table 1.
    • Delete—Deletes an existing rewrite rule.

Table 1: Rewrite Rules Configuration Page Summary

Field

Function

Your Action

Rewrite Rule Name

Specifies the name for the rewrite rule.

To name a rule, type the name—for example, rewrite-dscps.

Rewrite rule type

Specifies the type of rewrite rule: dscp, ieee-802.1, or inet-precedence.

Select a value from the list.

Code Point Mapping

Rewrites outgoing CoS values of a packet based on the forwarding class and loss priority.

Allows you to remove a code point mapping entry.

To configure a CoS value assignment, follow these steps:

To add a code point mapping:

  1. Click Add.
  2. Select the code point.
  3. Select a forwarding class from the following list:
    • expedited-forwarding—Provides low loss, low delay, low jitter, assured bandwidth, and end-to-end service. Packets can be forwarded out of sequence or dropped.
    • best-effort—Provides no special CoS handling of packets. Typically, RED drop profile is aggressive and no loss priority is defined.
    • assured-forwarding—Provides high assurance for packets within the specified service profile. Excess packets are dropped.
    • network-control—Packets can be delayed but not dropped.
  4. Select the loss priority.

    To assign a loss priority, select one:

    • high—Packet has a high loss priority.
    • low—Packet has a low loss priority.

To edit an existing code point mapping, select it and click Edit.

To remove a code point mapping entry, select it and click Remove.
