Example: Configuring Traffic Class Maps
This example shows the configuration of traffic class maps on a T4000 router with Type 5 FPC. Beginning with Junos OS Release 17.2, this example is also valid on MX Series routers with MPCs. The example is organized in the following sections:
Requirements
This example uses the following hardware and software components:
One T4000 router running Junos OS Release 14.2 or later
One customer edge (CE) router
Before you configure the traffic class maps, be sure you have:
Installed a Type 5 FPC in the T4000 router.
Connected the CE router to the T4000 router.
Overview and Topology
This example shows the configuration of traffic class maps on a T4000 router that is connected to a CE router. The topology for this example consists of a T4000 router with Type 5 FPC connected to a CE router.
As shown in Figure 1, the CE router forwards the traffic to interface xe-4/0/0 and xe-4/0/1 on the T4000 router.
The traffic class maps need to be configured on the T4000 router with Type 5 FPC and associated with the interface xe-4/0/0 and the interface xe-4/0/1 so that the packets can be prioritized and classified based on the user-defined configuration. When ingress oversubscription occurs, the T4000 router uses the user-defined traffic class map to process the packets.
This example shows how to create the following traffic class maps with CoS code points and associate these code points with the traffic class.
IPv4 precedence traffic class map with code points 000 001, 010 011, and 100 101. Map these code points to the real-time, network-control, and best-effort traffic classes, respectively.
MPLS EXP traffic class map with code points 000 001, 010 011, and 100 101. Map these code points to the real-time, network-control, and best-effort traffic classes, respectively.
IEEE 802.1 traffic class map with code points 000 001, 010 011, and 100 101. Map these code points to the real-time, network-control, and best-effort traffic classes, respectively.
DSCP traffic class map with code points 100001 100010 100011, 010011 010100 010101, and 101001 101010 101011. Map these code points to the real-time, network-control, and best-effort traffic classes, respectively.
IEEE 802.1ad traffic class map with code points 0000 0001 1000 1001, 0010 0011 1010 1011, and 0100 0101 1100 1101. Map these code points to the real-time, network-control, and best-effort traffic classes, respectively.
The traffic class maps IPv4 precedence, MPLS EXP, and IEEE 802.1 are associated with the interface xe-4/0/0. The traffic class maps DSCP and IEEE 802.1ad are associated with the interface xe-4/0/1.

Configuring Interfaces
Step-by-Step Procedure
Configure the interfaces. These interfaces need to be associated with traffic class maps.
Configure the interface xe-4/0/0 with unit 0 as its logical interface, inet as protocol family, and 198.51.100.0/24 as the IP address.
[edit] user@host#set interfaces xe-4/0/0 unit 0 family inet address 198.51.100.0/24
Configure the interface xe-4/0/1 with unit 0 as its logical interface, inet as protocol family, and 198.51.100.1/24 as the IP address. Also, enable the VLAN tagging and configure a VLAN ID (for example, 111) to receive and transmit VLAN-tagged frames on the interface.
