Configuration from the Base Station: Service Class Creation
143
Service Class Creation
Service classes, also called Subscriber Station Classes (SS Classes), are comprised of uplink and downlink Service
Flows, each of which has specific QoS settings. Traffic is directed to Service Flows through the application of Packet
Identification Rules. See Wireless Communication and Service Classes for a brief overview of SS Classes and Service
Class Creation for a more detailed discussion of SS Class creation.
The MP.16 system comes supplied with pre-defined SS Classes, Service Flows, and PIRs. In addition, you can
customize the predefined SS Classes, Service Flows, and PIRs, or create new ones that uniquely serve the needs of
your network environment.
While SS Classes use Service Flows and PIRs to direct traffic, each of these can be configured independently. That is, if
you want to create a new SS Class that uses a new PIR or Service Flow, you must first define the new PIR or Service
Flow, and then define the new SS Class that uses them. Alternatively, you may create a new SS Class that uses
pre-defined PIRs and Service Flows, or you create a new PIR or Service flow to be used with a pre-defined SS class.
Each element of the class is defined separately from the others.
See the following sections for instructions:
• Subscriber Station Classes: Create and configure new Subscriber Station classes; edit pre-defined SS Classes.
• Service Flows: Create and configure new service flows; edit pre-defined Service Flows.
• Packet Identification Rules: Create and configure new PIRs; edit pre-defined PIRs.
Subscriber Station Classes
You may create, modify, and delete up to 64 SS Classes, including those that are pre-defined. If the Base Station is reset
to factory defaults, the original values of the parameters for the pre-defined Subscriber Station classes are restored.
To create an new SS Class, enter the following command at the root prompt:
MP16 >add ssclass <name of SS class>
To view a list of all SS classes, enter the following from the root prompt:
MP16>show ssclass
To view the configuration of an SS Class, enter the following from the root prompt:
MP16>show ssclass <SS Class Name>
To delete an SS Class, enter the following from the root prompt:
MP16>delete ssclass <SS Class Name>
To configure the parameters of a particular Subscriber Station class, you must access the ssclass configuration prompt.
Enter the following at the root prompt:
MP16>configure ssclass <name of SS class>
The prompt will change to:
MP16(SS Class name)>
To view the configuration of the current SS Class, enter the following from the ssclass configuration prompt:
MP16>show
From the ssclass configuration prompt, you can add, set, and show parameters as described in the following sections:
• Adding Service Flows to an SS Class
• Associating PIRs with Added Service Flows
• Configuring SS Class VLAN Parameters
See SS Class Creation Example for a step-by-step configuration example.
