Chapter 36 Configuring QoS
Configuring Standard QoS
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to enable the egress expedite queue. This
procedure is optional.
To disable the egress expedite queue, use the
no priority-queue out
interface configuration command.
This example shows how to enable the egress expedite queue when the SRR weights are configured. The
egress expedite queue overrides the configured SRR weights.
Switch(config)#
interface gigabitethernet1/0/1
Switch(config-if)#
srr-queue bandwidth shape 25 0 0 0
Switch(config-if)#
srr-queue bandwidth share 30 20 25 25
Switch(config-if)#
priority-queue out
Switch(config-if)#
end
Limiting the Bandwidth on an Egress Interface
You can limit the bandwidth on an egress port. For example, if a customer pays only for a small
percentage of a high-speed link, you can limit the bandwidth to that amount.
Note
The egress queue default settings are suitable for most situations. You should change them only when
you have a thorough understanding of the egress queues and if these settings do not meet your QoS
solution.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to limit the bandwidth on an egress port. This
procedure is optional.
Command
Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal
Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2
mls qos
Enable QoS on a switch.
Step 3
interface
interface-id
Specify the egress port, and enter interface configuration mode.
Step 4
priority-queue out
Enable the egress expedite queue, which is disabled by default.
When you configure this command, the SRR weight and queue size ratios
are affected because there is one fewer queue participating in SRR. This
means that
weight1
in the
srr-queue bandwidth shape
or the
srr-queue
bandwidth share
command is ignored (not used in the ratio calculation).
Step 5
end
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 6
show running-config
Verify your entries.
Step 7
copy running-config startup-config
(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
Command
Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal
Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2
interface
interface-id
Specify the port to be rate limited, and enter interface configuration mode.
Step 3
srr-queue bandwidth limit
weight1
Specify the percentage of the port speed to which the port should be
limited. The range is 10 to 90.
By default, the port is not rate limited and is set to 100 percent.
Step 4
end
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
