Configuring Forwarding Class Actions

You can configure forwarding class actions for JUNOS filter policy rules. The forwarding class action causes the router to assign a forwarding class to packets that match the associated classify-traffic condition.

The type of action that you can create depends on the type of policy rule. See Policy Information Model.

Use the following configuration statements to configure a forwarding class action:

policies group name list name rule name forwarding-class name {
forwarding-class forwarding-class ;
description description ;
}

To configure a forwarding class action:

  1. From configuration mode, enter the forwarding class action configuration. For example, in this procedure, fca is the name of the forwarding class action.
      user@host# edit policies group bod list input rule pr forwarding-class fca
  2. (Optional) Configure the name of the forwarding class assigned to packets.
      [edit policies group bod list input rule pr forwarding-class fca]
      user@host# set forwarding-class forwarding-class
  3. (Optional) Enter a description for the forwarding class action.
      [edit policies group bod list input rule pr forwarding-class fca]
      user@host# set description description
  4. (Optional) Verify the forwarding class action configuration. 
    [edit policies group bod list input rule pr forwarding-class fca]
user@host# show 
forwarding-class fc_expedited;
description "Expedited forwarding class";
