Network Ingress QoS Policy Commands
meter
Syntax
meter meter-id
no meter meter-id [multipoint] [create]
Context
config>qos>network>ingress
Description
This command enables the context to configure an ingress Network QoS policy meter. The meter
command allows the creation of multipoint meters. Only multipoint meters can receive ingress
packets that need to be sent to multiple destinations.
Multipoint meters are for traffic bound to multiple destinations. Within non-multipoint services,
such as Epipe services, all traffic is considered unicast due to the nature of the service type.
Multicast and broadcast-destined traffic in an Epipe service will not be mapped to a multipoint
service meter.
The no form of this command removes the meter-id from the Network ingress QoS policy and
from any existing Ports using the policy. If any forwarding class forwarding types are mapped to
the meter, they revert to their default meters. When a meter is removed, any pending accounting
information for each port meter created due to the definition of the meter in the policy is discarded.
Default
meter 1 (for unicast traffic)
meter 9 multipoint (for all other traffic, other than unicast traffic)
Parameters
meter-id — Specifies the meter-id that uniquely identifies the meter within the policy. This is a required
parameter each time the meter command is executed.
Values
multipoint — This keyword specifies that this meter-id is for multipoint forwarded traffic only. This meter-
id can only be explicitly mapped to the forwarding class multicast, broadcast, or unknown unicast
ingress traffic. If you attempt to map forwarding class unicast traffic to a multipoint queue, an error is
generated and no changes are made to the current unicast traffic queue mapping.
The meter must be created as multipoint. The multipoint designator cannot be defined after the meter is
created. If an attempt is made to modify the command to include the multipoint keyword, an error is
generated and the command will not execute.
The multipoint keyword can be entered in the command line on a pre-existing multipoint meter to edit
meter-id parameters.
Values
Default
