Configuring QoS

This chapter describes how to configure quality of service (QoS) on your switch. With this feature, you

can provide preferential treatment to certain traffic at the expense of others. Without QoS, the swi tch

offers best-effort service to each packet, regardless of the packet contents or size. It sends the packets

without any assurance of reliability, delay bounds, or throughput.

Note For complete syntax and usage information for the commands used in this chapter, refer to the

Catalyst 3550 Multilayer Switch Command Reference for this release.

This chapter consists of these sections:

•Understanding QoS, page 20-1

•Configuring QoS, page 20-18

•Displaying QoS Information, page 20-56

•QoS Configuration Examples, page 20-56

Note When you are configuring QoS parameters for the switch, in order to allocate system resources to

maximize the number of possible QoS access control entries (ACEs) allowed, you can use the sdm

prefer access global configuration command to set the Switch Database Management feature to the

access template. For more information on the SDM templates, see the “Optimizing System Resources

for User-Selected Features” section on page6-57.

Understanding QoS

Typically, networks operate on a best-effort delivery basis, which means that all traffic has equal priority

and an equal chance of being delivered in a timely ma nner. When conge stion oc cu rs, a ll tra ffic has an

equal chance of being dropped.

When you configure the QoS feature, you can select specific network traffic, prioritize it according to

its relative importance, and use congestion-management and conge stion- avoida nce tec hniq ues to

provide preferential treatment. Implementing QoS in your netw ork m akes net work perf orm a nce mor e

predictable and bandwidth utilization more effective.

The QoS implementation is based on the DiffServ architecture, an emerging standard from the Internet

Engineering Task Force (IETF). This architecture specifies that each packet is classified upon entry into

the network. The classification is carried in the IP packet header, using 6 bits from the deprecated IP
