ip soft-forward enhancement disable
Function
The ip soft-forward enhancement disable command disables the enhanced forwarding function for control packets generated by the device.
The undo ip soft-forward enhancement disable command enables the enhanced forwarding function for control packets generated by the device.
By default, the enhanced forwarding function is enabled for control packets generated by the device.
Usage Guidelines
Usage Scenario
You can configure forwarding policies (such as QoS policies) for data packets to implement differentiated services. In some scenarios, you may need to manage control packets generated by the device to process different control packets. For example, carriers have limited the bandwidth of data packets through QoS policies and also want to limit the bandwidth of control packets. In this situation, QoS policies take effect only for data packets. You can configure the enhanced forwarding function to make QoS policies take effect for control packets. Currently, the enhanced forwarding function is valid only for the control packets generated by the device but not for the control packets forwarded by other devices.
You can run the undo ip soft-forward enhancement disable command to enable the enhanced forwarding function for control packets generated by the device.
Follow-up Procedures
After enabling the enhanced forwarding function on the device, you can perform some configurations on the control packets generated by the device. For example, you can configure different QoS policies for different types of packets generated by the device.
