10.2 Basic Configuration
This section contains the following topics related to creating and applying shaper
QoS policies:
• Creating a Shaper QoS Policy and Shaper Groups
• Applying a Shaper QoS Policy and Shaper Groups
• Default Shaper QoS Policy Values
• Configuring per-SAP Aggregate Shapers and an Unshaped SAP Aggregate
Shaper (H-QoS)
• Configuring per-VLAN Shapers and an Unshaped VLAN Shaper
A basic shaper QoS policy must conform to the following rules.
• Each shaper policy must have a unique policy identifier (name).
• Default values can be modified but parameters cannot be deleted.
10.2.1 Creating a Shaper QoS Policy and Shaper Groups
Configuring and applying shaper QoS policies is optional. If no shaper QoS policy is
explicitly defined, the default shaper QoS policy (“default”) is applied.
To create a new shaper policy, define the following:
• a shaper policy name — the system does not dynamically assign a name
• a description (optional) — a brief description of the policy
• a shaper group (optional) and its PIR and CIR values — a shaper group is a
dual-rate aggregate shaper that is used mainly as a per-customer (MSS)
aggregate shaper
• an unshaped SAP shaper group (optional) — the shaper group used by the
group of all unshaped SAPs for the purpose of traffic arbitration with the shaped
SAPs on a port
