Flow Configuration

In this user interface, you can configure flows, including creating a flow, setting the flow type, setting QoS parameters, and binding the CAR ID and CoS ID to a flow.

Navigation Path

In the NE Explorer, select a board and choose Configuration > QoS Management > Flow Management from the navigation tree. Click the Flow Configuration tab.

Precautions

Before flow configuration, CAR or CoS configuration must be completed.
A board supports different types of flows depending on the board type.
For some types of boards, you cannot set both CAR and CoS.
For some types of boards, a flow is automatically created on the basis of the service that a board has. The user cannot delete such a flow.

NOTE:

For the Web LCT, the configuration information of the CAR and CoS that are bound with the selected flow is displayed below the flow configuration table.

Shortcut Menu Description

NOTE:

Only the LEM18 board and the LEG16 board of the OptiX OSN 1800 NE support this shortcut menu.

Menu Item	Description
Performance Browse	After the shortcut menu item is chosen, the Performance Management dialog box is displayed, in which you can collect performance statistics for service flows. The collected performance statistics include QOS_PORTSTRM_RCVMATCHPKTS, QOS_PORTSTRM_RCVMATCHBYTES, QOS_PORTSTRM_RX_BPS, and QOS_PORTSTRM_RX_PPS. The collected performance indicators include the number of bytes to be sent, number of packets, number of lost packets, and rate.

Parameter Description

Parameter	Value	Description
Flow Type	Values of parameters vary with different boards and products.	The Flow Type(Flow Configuration) parameter specifies Flow Type of the flow in the Ethernet data board. This parameter decides the method of binding the service with the flow.
VB ID	For example: 1	Indicates the VB ID whose QoS is to be configured.
Label ID	For example: 1	Indicates the label ID of MPLS services.
C-VLAN	For example: 1	Indicates the C-VLAN.
S-VLAN	For example: 1	Indicates the S-VLAN.
Port	For example: Port1	Indicates the port name.
VLAN ID	Values of parameters vary with different boards and products.	Indicates the VLAN attached to the service that the flow carries.
Priority	0 to 7	Indicates the priority whose QoS is to be configured. The value 7 indicates the highest priority.
Bound CAR	Created CAR ID Default: -	The Bound CAR (Flow Configuration) parameter specifies the method of binding a flow with a CAR ID and querying the CAR ID bound with the flow. One flow can be bound with one CAR ID only. The CAR takes effect only after the flow is bound with the CAR.
Bound CoS	Created CoS ID Default: -	The Bound CoS (Flow Configuration) parameter specifies the method of binding a flow with a CoS ID and querying the CoS ID bound with the flow. A flow can be bound with one CoS ID only. The CoS policy can be used to divide the packet priority after the flow is bound with the CoS.
Monitor Stutas	Enabled, Disabled	Indicates the flow traffic monitoring status.
Enable Flow Packet Statistics	Enabled, Disabled	Specifies whether flow packet statistics collection is enabled.
Correct Packets	For example: 64	Indicates the number of the correct packets.
Error Packets	For example: 3	Indicates the number of the error packets.
Total Packets	For example: 100	Indicates the number of the total packets.
Total Bytes per Packet	For example: 200	Indicates the total bytes per packet.
