Description
The port-parent command defines a child/parent association between an egress queue and a port based
scheduler or between an intermediate service scheduler and a port based scheduler. The command may be
issued in three distinct contexts; sap-egress queue queue-id, network-queue queue queue-id and
scheduler-policy scheduler scheduler-name. The port-parent command allows for a set of within-CIR and
above-CIR parameters that define the port priority levels and weights for the queue or scheduler. If the port-
parent command is executed without any parameters, the default parameters are assumed.
In this context, the port-parent command is mutually exclusive to the parent command (used to create a
parent/child association between a queue and an intermediate scheduler). Executing a port-parent
command when a parent definition is in place causes the current intermediate scheduler association to be
removed and replaced by the defined port-parent association. Executing a parent command when a port-
parent definition exists causes the port scheduler association to be removed and replaced by the defined
intermediate scheduler name.
Changing the parent context on a SAP egress policy queue may cause a SAP or subscriber context of the
queue (policy associated with a SAP or subscriber profile) to enter an orphaned state. If an instance of a
queue is created on a port or channel that does not have a port scheduler enabled and the sap-egress policy
creating the queue has a port-parent association, the queue will be allowed to run according to its own rate
parameters and will not be controlled by a virtual scheduling context. If an instance of a queue is on a port or
channel that has a port scheduler configured and the sap-egress policy defines the queue as having a non-
existent intermediate scheduler parent, the queue will be treated as an orphan and will be handled according
to the current orphan behavior on the port scheduler.
The no form of this command removes a port scheduler parent association for the queue or scheduler. If a
port scheduler is defined on the port which the queue or scheduler instance exists, the queue or scheduler
will become orphaned if an port scheduler is configured on the egress port of the queue or scheduler.
Default
no port-parent
Parameters
weight weight — Defines the weight the queue or scheduler will use at the above-cir port priority level
(defined by the level parameter).
Values
Default
level level — Defines the port priority the queue or scheduler will use to receive bandwidth for its above-cir
offered-load.
Values
Default
cir-weight cir-weight — Defines the weight the queue or scheduler will use at the within-cir port priority
level (defined by the cir-level parameter). The weight is specified as an integer value from 0 to 100 with
100 being the highest weight. When the cir-weight parameter is set to a value of 0 (the default value),
