Chapter 34 Configuring QoS
Configuring Standard QoS
You can configure the egress queues for shaped or shared weights, or both. Use shaping to smooth bursty
traffic or to provide a smoother output over time. For information about shaped weights, see the “SRR
Shaping and Sharing” section on page 34-14. For information about shared weights, see the
“Configuring SRR Shared Weights on Egress Queues” section on page 34-75.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to assign the shaped weights and to enable
bandwidth shaping on the four egress queues mapped to a port. This procedure is optional.
To return to the default setting, use the no srr-queue bandwidth shape interface configuration
command.
This example shows how to configure bandwidth shaping on queue 1. Because the weight ratios for
queues 2, 3, and 4 are set to 0, these queues operate in shared mode. The bandwidth weight for queue 1
is 1/8, which is 12.5 percent:
Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet0/1
Switch(config-if)# srr-queue bandwidth shape 8 0 0 0
Configuring SRR Shared Weights on Egress Queues
In shared mode, the queues share the bandwidth among them according to the configured weights. The
bandwidth is guaranteed at this level but not limited to it. For example, if a queue empties and does not
require a share of the link, the remaining queues can expand into the unused bandwidth and share it
among them. With sharing, the ratio of the weights controls the frequency of dequeuing; the absolute
values are meaningless.
Command Purpose
Step 1 configure terminal Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2 interface interface-id Specify the port of the outbound traffic, and enter interface configuration
mode.
Step 3 srr-queue bandwidth shape weight1
weight2 weight3 weight4
Assign SRR weights to the egress queues.
By default , weight1 is set to 25; weight2, weight3, and weight4 are set to 0,
and these queues are in shared mode.
For weight1 weight2 weight3 weight4, enter the weights to control the
percentage of the port that is shaped. The inverse ratio (1/weight) controls
the shaping bandwidth for this queue. Separate each value with a space.
The range is 0 to 65535.
If you configure a weight of 0, the corresponding queue operates in shared
mode. The weight specified with the srr-queue bandwidth shape
command is ignored, and the weights specified with the srr-queue
bandwidth share interface configuration command for a queue come into
effect. When configuring queues in the same queue-set for both shaping
and sharing, make sure that you configure the lowest number queue for
shaping.
The shaped mode overrides the shared mode.
Step 4 end Return to privileged EXEC mode.
