Chapter 37 Configuring Quality of Service
Configuring QoS on Supervisor Engines II-Plus, II+10GE, IV, V, V-10GE, 4924, 4948, and 4948-10GE
This example shows how to create a named aggregate policer with a ten MBps rate limit and a one mb
burst size that transmits conforming traffic and marks down out-of-profile traffic.
Switch# config terminal
Switch(config)# qos aggregate-policer aggr-1 10000000 1000000 conform-action transmit
exceed-action policed-dscp-transmit
Switch(config)# end
Switch#
This example shows how to verify the configuration:
Switch# show qos aggregate-policer aggr-1
Policer aggr-1
Rate(bps):10000000 Normal-Burst(bytes):1000000

Configuring a QoS Policy
The following subsections describe QoS policy configuration:
• Overview of QoS Policy Configuration, page 37-28
• Configuring a Class Map (Optional), page 37-29
• Configuring a Policy Map, page 37-31
• Attaching a Policy Map to an Interface, page 37-35
Note QoS policies process both unicast and multicast traffic.

Overview of QoS Policy Configuration

Configuring a QoS policy requires you to configure traffic classes and the policies that will be applied
to those traffic classes, and to attach the policies to interfaces using these commands:
• access-list (optional for IP traffic—you can filter IP traffic with class-map commands):
–
QoS supports these access list types:
–
See Chapter 47, “Configuring Network Security with ACLs,” for information about ACLs on
the Catalyst 4500 series switches.
• class-map (optional)—Enter the class-map command to define one or more traffic classes by
specifying the criteria by which traffic is classified. (For more information, see the “Configuring a
Class Map (Optional)” section on page 37-29.)
