Using the Quality of Service Policy Template
UNI dot1q Access—Select an unused port VLAN from 1 to 4095. It can be combined with untagged 
connections on the same port. Each port VLAN can be used for only one connection.
UNI Untagged Access—Configure as Dot1q Access with port VLAN 1.
NNI dot1q Access—Select an unused port VLAN from 1 to 4095. It can be combined with untagged 
connections on the same port. Each port VLAN can be used for only one connection.
The circuit VLAN range is from 1 to 4095. On an RPR, all valid circuit VLANs can be used; however, 
due to limited bridge group resources, each ML-series card can access only 255 circuit VLANs. Due to 
limited card-level bridge group resources, only 255 circuit VLANs can be used on a point-to-point 
circuit.
Note
VLAN ID 1 is reserved for untagged VLANs.
For VLAN configurations, the port channel interface is treated as a new, single logical interface, even 
though it consists of multiple interfaces. The following Cisco IOS commands are sent to the ML card to 
configure the IEEE 802.1Q encapsulation on the port channel interface. (IEEE 802.1Q encapsulation is 
the only supported encapsulation type in link aggregation.)

Port channel drops are of NNI type; therefore, no QoS policies are associated to port channel drops, as 
is true for any other NNI Ethernet drops.
Using the Quality of Service Policy Template
You must configure the following information in the L2 service provisioning and quality of service 
(QoS) profile wizards:
Port (FastEthernetM [FEM] or GigabitEthernetN [GIGEN] with M=0 to 11 and N=0,1)
Service connection type (UNI QinQ, UNI dot1Q, UNI untagged, or NNI dot1Q)
QoS parameters (selection of the QoS profile name defined in the QoS profile)
Prime Optical assigns an unused bridge group (BG) to the card. The range is from 1 to 255.
The following table lists the configuration information for a best-effort QoS profile. You can select the 
predefined profile and customize it, or create a new customized profile by using the Advanced option.
