Resource Configuration Mode Commands

Resource configuration mode commands allow you to limit the usage of resources by one or more contexts. To create a resource class and access resource configuration mode, enter the resource-class command. The CLI prompt changes to (config-resource). For information about the commands in resource configuration mode, see the commands in this section. Use the no form of this command to delete a resource class.

Command History

Usage Guidelines

The commands in this mode require the Admin user role. For details about role-based access control (RBAC) and user roles, see the Virtualization Guide, Cisco ACE Application Control Engine.

After you create and configure the class, use the (config-context) member command in context configuration mode to assign a context to the class.

Examples

To create a resource-class called RC1 and enter resource configuration mode, enter:

host1/C1(config)# resource-class RC1

host1/C1(config-resource)

To remove the RC1 resource class from the configuration, enter:

host1/C1(config)# no resource-class RC1

To limit system resources for all members of a resource class, use the limit-resource command. Use the no form of this command to restore the default resource settings for all resources or individual resources for all members (contexts) of a resource class.

limit-resource {acl-memory | all | buffer syslog | conc-connections | http-comp | mgmt-connections | proxy-connections | rate {bandwidth | connections | inspect-conn | mac-miss | mgmt-traffic | ssl-connections | syslog} | regexp | sticky | xlates} {minimum number} {maximum {equal-to-min | unlimited}}

no limit-resource {acl-memory | all | buffer {syslog} | conc-connections | http-comp | mgmt-connections | proxy-connections | rate {bandwidth | connections | inspect-conn | mac-miss | mgmt-traffic | ssl-connections | syslog | to-cp-ipcp} | regexp | sticky | xlates}

Usage Guidelines

You can limit all resources or individual resources for all members (contexts) of a resource class. For example, you can limit only concurrent connections, probes, or sticky table entries.

For details about the system resource maximum values when you use the limit-resource command, see the Virtualization Guide, Cisco ACE Application Control Engine

If you lower the limits for one context (context A) to increase the limits of another context (context B), you may experience a delay in the configuration change because the ACE will not lower the limits of context A until the resources are no longer being used by the context.

The limit that you set for individual resources when you use the limit-resource command overrides the limit that you set for all resources when you use the limit-resource all command.

When you enter the no limit-resource all command, all ACE contexts associated with the resource class are left without resources that are not separately configured with a minimum limit in the resource class. The CLI displays the following message:

Warning: The context(s) associated with this resource-class

will be denied of all the resources that are not explicitly

configured with minimum limit in this resource-class

Examples

To allocate 20 percent of all resources (minimum and maximum) to all member contexts of the resource class, enter:

(config-resource)# limit-resource all minimum 20 maximum equal-to-min

To restore resource allocation to the default of 0 percent minimum and 100 percent maximum for all resources to all member contexts, enter:

(config-resource)# no limit-resource all
