Description

ACX-5448/ACX-710 IRB to rewrite CoS is Not supported, causing traffic issue 

Symptoms

When you use IRB to rewrite CoS traffic, you may see unexpected traffic impact due to the undesired COS bit.

Solution

L3 rewrite (IP Prec /DSCP) on L2 is not supported on IRB interfaces for the ACX5448. 
If we use irb+L2, it hits the ACX5448 limitation, and there is no way to perform a DSCP
rewrite on the IRB interface. As a workaround you can use the following on the DUT: set interfaces xe-0/0/1 flexible-vlan-tagging set interfaces xe-0/0/1 native-vlan-id 4093 set interfaces xe-0/0/1 speed 1g set interfaces xe-0/0/1 encapsulation flexible-ethernet-services set interfaces xe-0/0/1 unit 315 description JTAC set interfaces xe-0/0/1 unit 315 vlan-id 315 set interfaces xe-0/0/1 unit 315 family inet address 172.160.160.222/28   set routing-instances JTAC instance-type vrf set routing-instances JTAC protocols ospf area 0.0.0.0 interface xe-0/0/1.315 set routing-instances JTAC interface xe-0/0/1.315 set routing-instances JTAC route-distinguisher 172.16.1.3:65501 set routing-instances JTAC vrf-target target:65501:1 set routing-instances JTAC vrf-table-label   set class-of-service interfaces xe-0/0/1 unit 315 rewrite-rules dscp dscp-rewrite set class-of-service rewrite-rules dscp dscp-rewrite import default set class-of-service rewrite-rules dscp dscp-rewrite forwarding-class best-effort loss-priority high code-point 000000 set class-of-service rewrite-rules dscp dscp-rewrite forwarding-class best-effort loss-priority low code-point 000000
