Advanced Configuration
• Packet Identification Rule (PIR) - up to 64 rules, including 18 predefined rules
• Service Flow class (SFC) - up to 32 SFCs, including 8 predefined SFCs; up to 8 PIRs may be associated per SFC
• Class List - Priority for each rule within each SF class - 0 to 255, with 0 being lowest priority
• QoS class - up to 8 QoS classes, including 5 predefined classes; up to 8 SFCs may be associated per QoS class
5.6.1.1 Packet Identification Rule (PIR)
A Packet Identification Rule is a combination of parameters that specifies what type of traffic is allowed or not allowed. You can
create a maximum of 64 different PIRs, including 18 predefined PIRs. Also, you can create, edit, and delete PIRs that contain
none, one, or more of the following classification fields:
• Rule Name
• IP ToS (Layer 3 QoS identification)
• 802.1p tag (layer 2 QoS identification)
• IP Protocol List containing up to 4 IP protocols
• VLAN ID
• PPPoE Encapsulation
• Ether Type (Ethernet Protocol identification)
• Up to 4 TCP/UDP Source port ranges
• Up to 4 TCP/UDP Destination port ranges
• Up to 4 pairs of Source IP address + Mask
• Up to 4 pairs of Destination IP address + Mask
• Up to 4 source MAC addresses + Mask
• Up to 4 destination MAC addresses + Mask
: IP Address, TCP/UDP Port, MAC Address need to be configured separately and associate those classification in PIR
details if required.
A good example is provided by the 18 predefined PIRs. Note that these rules help identify specific traffic types:
1. All - No classification fields, all traffic matches
2. L2 Multicast
a. Ethernet Destination (dest = 0x010000000000, mask = 0x010000000000)
3. L2 Broadcast
a. Ethernet Destination (dest = 0xffffffffffff, mask = 0xffffffffffff)
4. Cisco VoIP UL
a. TCP/UDP Source Port Range (16,000-33,000)
b. IP Protocol List (17 = UDP)
5. Vonage VoIP UL
a. TCP/UDP Source Port Range (5060-5061, 10000-20000)
b. IP Protocol List (17 = UDP)
6. Cisco VoIP DL
a. TCP/UDP Destination Port Range (16,000-33,000)
b. IP Protocol List (17 = UDP)
7. Vonage VoIP DL
a. TCP/UDP Destination Port Range (5060-5061, 10000-20000)
