Layer-2

Eth-Port Profiles

An Eth-Port Profile (Ethernet Port Profile) is a reusable configuration template that packages multiple services for deployment on a port. This feature simplifies port provisioning by allowing operators to group related Layer-2 VLAN services commonly required by servers and apply them as a single unit.

Creating an Eth-Port Profile

1. Navigate to the Eth-Port Profiles section by double-clicking Templates and clicking Eth-Port Profiles.
2. Create a new Eth-Port Profile object by clicking the Add button.
3. In the prompt that appears, name the Eth-Port Profile and assign it a group.
4. Check the Enable box.

Assigning Services to an Eth-Port Profile

1. From within Templates open the Eth-Port Profile tile. Select the desired Eth-Port-Profile and set the Service and External VLAN fields.
2. Enable your selection(s) by clicking the Enabled checkbox.

Packet Queues

This Template lets you set the priority for packets depending on bandwidth.

Here you set the priority for p-bits and set the bandwidth (BW) for each queue as a percentage. The percentage is the maximum average percentage of the port output bandwidth that packets in that queue will be allowed to consume. The value cannot exceed 100 and a value of 0 means no limit is set.
