Configuring I/O Modules
customers at predetermined and different rates. The rates are based on the customers' IP unicast packet
destinations.
Destination-sensitive accounting allows you to bill your customers at different rates depending upon
the destination of the IP unicast packets they send.
Destination-sensitive accounting categorizes IP unicast packets according to two parameters:
• The ID of the VLAN from which the packet was received
• The accounting bin number associated with the route used to forward the packet
For each category, 64-bit counts of both the number of packets and number of bytes forwarded,
excluding those locally delivered to the MSM CPU, are collected. Eight accounting bin numbers, with
values from 0-7, are available for each of the possible 4096 VLAN IDs. This yields a maximum of 32768
sets of accounting statistics.
You use accounting statistics to bill your customers. For a given set of statistics, the source VLAN ID
identifies the customer and the accounting bin number corresponds to a billing rate.
Use the ExtremeWare function to configure policies that assign accounting bin numbers to IP
route-map
routes. Bin 0 is the default bin. Any route that does not have an explicit bin assignment via the
function defaults to bin 0.

You retrieve accounting statistics via the CLI and SNMP.
See the ExtremeWare Software User Guide for more information about configuring destination-sensitive
accounting on the MPLS module.
Software Requirements
The MPLS module requires that you run ExtremeWare 7.0 or later on both the MSM64i module and the
MPLS module, BootROM 7.8 for the MSM64i module, and BootROM 1.18 for the MPLS module.
For more information about software requirements and MPLS module configuration, see the
ExtremeWare Software User Guide and the ExtremeWare Command Reference Guide.
Hardware Requirements
The MPLS module is compatible with "i" series MSM modules only. For the most current list of I/O
modules supported for use with the MPLS module, consult your release notes.
MPLS modules installed in a BlackDiamond chassis require at least one BlackDiamond Ethernet I/O
module also installed in the chassis in order to operate correctly.
