Scheduling on Aggregated Ethernet Interfaces
You can configure shared scheduling on aggregated Ethernet Interfaces in link-protection mode or without link protection. The following topic describes how to configure shared scheduling on aggregated Ethernet Interfaces.
Configuring Shared Scheduling on Aggregated Ethernet Interfaces
You can configure shared scheduling on aggregated Ethernet interfaces in link protection mode on Gigabit Ethernet Intelligent Queuing 2 (IQ2) and Ethernet Enhanced IQ2 (IQ2E) PICs on M320 routers.
To configure shared scheduling on aggregated Ethernet interfaces:
- Specify that you want to configure the options for an
aggregated Ethernet interface.user@host# edit interfaces aex aggregated-ether-options
- Configure the link protection mode.[edit interfaces aex aggregated-ether-options]user@host# set link-protection
- Configure shared scheduling.[edit interfaces aex aggregated-ether-options]user@host# top[edit]user@host# edit interfaces aex shared-scheduler
Configuring Scheduler on Aggregated Ethernet Interfaces Without Link Protection
On aggregated Ethernet interfaces, you can configure scheduler in non–link-protect mode on the following platforms:
MX-Series
M120 and M320 with IQ2 PIC
T-series platforms (T620 and T320) with IQ2 PIC
The scheduler functions supported are:
Per unit scheduler
Hierarchical scheduler
Shaping at the physical interface
To configure the hierarchical scheduler on aggregated Ethernet interfaces in the non link-protect mode, include the hierarchical-scheduler statement at the [edit interfaces aeX] hierarchy level:
Prior to Junos OS Release 9.6, the hierarchical scheduler mode on these models required the aggregated-ether-options statement link-protection option. If a link-protection option is not specified, the scheduler is configured in non-link-protect mode.
To specify the member link bandwidth derivation based on the equal division model (scale) or the replication model (replicate) on aggregated Ethernet interfaces, include the member-link-scheduler (scale | replicate) option at the [edit class-of-service interfaces aeX] hierarchy level. The default setting is scale.
In link-protect mode, only one link is active at a time and the other link acts as the backup link, whereas in a non link-protect mode, all the links of the aggregate bundle are active at the same time. There is no backup link. If a link goes down or a new link is added to the bundle, traffic redistribution occurs.
