Table 4: Traffic-Profile Classifier Command Action Operation; Table 5: Traffic-Profile Classifier Command Element Options - Avaya ERS 45 Series Technical Configuration Manual

Zero (i.e., leave traffic unchanged), one or more action options can be specified in a single filter set
classifier element. Certain options may not be allowed if they are inappropriate for the traffic being
targeted. For example, updating the DSCP value in a non-IP packet is not allowed for obvious reasons.
Action Option
drop-action <drop | pass>
update-dscp <0-63>
update-1p <0-7>
set-drop-prec <high-drop | low-drop>

Table 4: Traffic-Profile Classifier Command Action Operation

Optional command variables that facilitate filter set element ordering and efficient resource utilization may
be specified as well. The evaluation order value dictates the order in which filter set elements are applied,
potentially impacting action selection. A unique evaluation order value is required when more than one
element is included in the filter set. Multiple filter set elements may be combined into a block by labeling
block members with the same block name. As previously noted, filter set elements must contain
compatible classifier criteria (determined by the ERS stackable platform and underlying QoS hardware) to
be members of the same block. A 16 character (maximum) block name string is supported.
Element Option
block <block-name>
eval-order <1-255>

Table 5: Traffic-Profile Classifier Command Element Options

Traffic-profile filter set classifier criteria can be deleted. The 'no qos traffic-profile classifier' CLI command
is used for this purpose:

Command: no qos traffic-profile classifier name [filterSetName] {elemData}
name [filterSetName] – mandatory command variable that identifies the filter set being
o
targeted by the deletion operation.
elemData – optional command variables that facilitate filter set element identification.
o
All of the classifier elements associated with a filter set may be deleted at once or individual filter set
classifier elements may be deleted. All filter set classifier elements may be deleted by providing the target
filter set name with no additional options. If the filter set is in-active (i.e., not currently applied to any ports
in the system), all related classifier elements will be deleted. The operation is rejected if the filter set is
currently active. The optional command variable 'eval-order' (Table 5) can be used to target an individual
filter set classifier element for deletion. Note that empty filter sets are not supported meaning that the last
classifier element in an active filter set cannot be deleted.
Once the classifier data has been defined, the traffic-profile filter set needs to be instantiated and applied
to a port. Metering options and additional action options, applied to the filter set as a whole, can be
specified as well. The 'qos traffic-profile set' CLI command is used for this purpose:

Command: qos traffic-profile set port [port] name [filterSetName] {meterData} {actionData}
