Configuring the Enhanced Forwarding Function for Control Packets Generated by the Device
Context
QoS policies take effect only for data packets. In certain cases, control packets need to be managed. For example, bandwidth limitation is required for the control packets generated by Telnet applications. The enhanced forwarding function can meet the requirement. You can configure this function to apply QoS policies to the control packets generated by the device. Currently, the enhanced forwarding function is valid only for the control packets generated by the device.
Procedure
- Run system-view
The system view is displayed.
- Run ip soft-forward enhance enable
The enhanced forwarding function is enabled.
By default, the enhanced forwarding function is enabled.
- (Optional) Set the priority for control packets.
- (Optional) Configure the control packets to support QoS
policies using one or more of the following commands.
Follow-up Procedures
After the enhanced forwarding function is configured for control packets, you can only make QoS policies take effect for the control packets. To implement differentiated services for control packets, configure QoS policies. For details, see Huawei AR Series IOT Gateway Configuration Guide - QoS.
