In order for unshaped 4-priority SAPs to compete fairly for bandwidth with 16-priority
shaped and unshaped SAPs, a single, aggregate CIR for all the 4-priority SAPs can
be configured. This aggregate CIR is applied to all the 4-priority SAPs as a group,
not to individual SAPs. In addition, the aggregate CIR is configured differently for
access ingress and access egress traffic. On the 7705 SAR-8 and 7705 SAR-18,
access ingress is configured in the config>qos>fabric-profile context. On the
7705 SAR-M, 7705 SAR-H, 7705 SAR-Hc, 7705 SAR-A, 7705 SAR-Ax,
7705 SAR-W, and 7705 SAR-Wx, access ingress is configured in the
config>system>qos>access-ingress-aggregate-rate context. For all platforms,
access egress configuration uses the config>port>ethernet context.
For more information about access ingress scheduling and traffic arbitration from the
16-priority and 4-priority schedulers toward the fabric, see Access Ingress Per-SAP
Aggregate Shapers (Access Ingress H-QoS).
