Logical Interfaces

Figure 4-3 Configuring Logical Interfaces

Solaris Bandwidth Manager operates at the level of the physical interface (le0) and does not recognize logical interfaces (le0:1 and le0:2, for example). If your IP configuration includes logical interfaces, you can use the class hierarchy to subdivide network traffic according to the destination subnet, and then manage the traffic for each subnet separately. Figure 4-3 shows a configuration with two logical interfaces. The configuration file contains a definition for the le0 interface, and filter and class definitions for the subnet1 and subnet2 classes. For example:

filter    subnet1
          remote
                   type            subnet
                   address         123.xxx.yyy.0
                   mask            255.255.255.0

filter    subnet2
          remote
                   type            subnet
                   address         123.xxx.zzz.0
                   mask            255.255.255.0

interface le0
                   rate            263144
                   activate        enabled

class     subnet1
                   parent          root
                   interface       le0_in
                   bandwidth       60
                   priority        3
                   max_bandwidth   100
                   filter          subnet1

class     subnet2
                   parent          root
                   interface       le0_in
                   bandwidth       40
                   priority        3
                   max_bandwidth   100
                   filter          subnet2
