Child Policer Parent Association - Alcatel-Lucent 7950 Quality Of Service Manual

Child Policer Parent Association

Each policer configured within a SAP ingress or SAP egress QoS policy may be configured to be
child policer by defining a parent arbiter association using the parent command. If the command is
not executed, the policer operates as a stand-alone policer wherever the policy is applied. If the
parent command is executed, but the defined arbiter name does not exist within the SAP context or
a context, the policer is treated as an orphan. The SAP or context is placed into a degraded state.
The system indicates the degraded state by the system setting the ingress-policer-mismatch or
egress-policer-mismatch flag for the object. An orphaned policer functions in the same manner as
a policer without a parent defined.
An arbiter exists on a SAP when a policer-control-policy containing the arbiter is applied to the
appropriate direction (ingress or egress) of the SAP.
