Chapter 36 Configuring QoS

Configuring Standard QoS

A switch that is running the IP services feature set supports QoS DSCP and IP precedence matching in policy-based routing (PBR) route maps with these limitations:

You cannot apply QoS DSCP mutation maps and PBR route maps to the same interface.

You cannot configure DSCP transparency and PBR DSCP route maps on the same switch.

Enabling QoS Globally

By default, QoS is disabled on the switch.

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to enable QoS. This procedure is required.

 

Command

Purpose

Step 1

 

 

configure terminal

Enter global configuration mode.

Step 2

 

 

mls qos

Enable QoS globally.

 

 

QoS runs with the default settings described in the “Default

 

 

Standard QoS Configuration” section on page 36-33, the

 

 

“Queueing and Scheduling on Ingress Queues” section on

 

 

page 36-15, and the “Queueing and Scheduling on Egress

 

 

Queues” section on page 36-18.

Step 3

 

 

end

Return to privileged EXEC mode.

Step 4

 

 

show mls qos

Verify your entries.

Step 5

 

 

copy running-config startup-config

(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.

 

 

 

To disable QoS, use the no mls qos global configuration command.

Enabling VLAN-Based QoS on Physical Ports

By default, VLAN-based QoS is disabled on all physical switch ports. The switch applies QoS, including class maps and policy maps, only on a physical-port basis. In Cisco IOS Release 12.2(25)SE or later, yYou can enable VLAN-based QoS on a switch port.

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to enable VLAN-based QoS. This procedure is required on physical ports that are specified in the interface level of a hierarchical policy map on an SVI.

 

Command

Purpose

Step 1

 

 

configure terminal

Enter global configuration mode.

Step 2

 

 

interface interface-id

Specify the physical port, and enter interface configuration

 

 

mode.

Step 3

 

 

mls qos vlan-based

Enable VLAN-based QoS on the port.

Step 4

 

 

end

Return to privileged EXEC mode.

Step 5

 

 

show mls qos interface interface-id

Verify if VLAN-based QoS is enabled on the physical port.

Step 6

 

 

copy running-config startup-config

(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
