Chapter 36 Configuring QoS

Configuring Standard QoS

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure the memory allocation and to drop thresholds for a queue-set. This procedure is optional.

 

 

Command

Purpose

 

 

Step 1

 

 

 

 

configure terminal

Enter global configuration mode.

 

 

Step 2

 

 

 

 

mls qos queue-set output qset-id

Allocate buffers to a queue-set.

 

 

 

buffers allocation1 ... allocation4

By default, all allocation values are equally mapped among the four

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

queues (25, 25, 25, 25). Each queue has 1/4 of the buffer space.

 

 

 

 

For qset-id,enter the ID of the queue-set. The range is 1 to 2. Each

 

 

 

 

port belongs to a queue-set, which defines all the characteristics of the

 

 

 

 

four egress queues per port.

 

 

 

 

For allocation1 ... allocation4, specify four percentages, one for each

 

 

 

 

queue in the queue-set. For allocation1, allocation3, and allocation4,

 

 

 

 

the range is 0 to 99. For allocation2, the range is 1 to 100 (including

 

 

 

 

the CPU buffer).

 

 

 

 

Allocate buffers according to the importance of the traffic; for example,

 

 

 

 

give a large percentage of the buffer to the queue with the highest-priority

 

 

 

 

traffic.

 

 

Step 3

 

 

 

 

mls qos queue-set output qset-id

Configure the WTD thresholds, guarantee the availability of buffers, and

 

 

 

threshold queue-id drop-threshold1

configure the maximum memory allocation for the queue-set (four egress

 

 

 

drop-threshold2 reserved-threshold

queues per port).

 

 

 

maximum-threshold

By default, the WTD thresholds for queues 1, 3, and 4 are set to 100

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

percent. The thresholds for queue 2 are set to 200 percent. The reserved

 

 

 

 

thresholds for queues 1, 2, 3, and 4 are set to 50 percent. The maximum

 

 

 

 

thresholds for all queues are set to 400 percent.

 

 

 

 

For qset-id, enter the ID of the queue-set specified in Step 2. The

 

 

 

 

range is 1 to 2.

 

 

 

 

For queue-id, enter the specific queue in the queue-set on which the

 

 

 

 

command is performed. The range is 1 to 4.

 

 

 

 

For drop-threshold1 drop-threshold2, specify the two WTD

 

 

 

 

thresholds expressed as a percentage of the queue’s allocated

 

 

 

 

memory. The range is 1 to 400 percent.

 

 

 

 

For reserved-threshold, enter the amount of memory to be guaranteed

 

 

 

 

(reserved) for the queue expressed as a percentage of the allocated

 

 

 

 

memory. The range is 1 to 100 percent.

 

 

 

 

For maximum-threshold, enable a queue in the full condition to obtain

 

 

 

 

more buffers than are reserved for it. This is the maximum memory

 

 

 

 

the queue can have before the packets are dropped if the common pool

 

 

 

 

is not empty. The range is 1 to 400 percent.

 

 

Step 4

 

 

 

 

interface interface-id

Specify the port of the outbound traffic, and enter interface configuration

 

 

 

 

mode.

 

 

Step 5

 

 

 

 

queue-set qset-id

Map the port to a queue-set.

 

 

 

 

For qset-id, enter the ID of the queue-set specified in Step 2. The range is

 

 

 

 

1 to 2. The default is 1.

 

 

Step 6

 

 

 

 

end

Return to privileged EXEC mode.
