Quality of Service Policy Page
•Shaping is not available when you configure QoS on the control plane.
For more information about shaping, see Understanding Policing and Shaping Parameters, page63-6.
Tip To configure shaping on all the QoS classes defined for the interface (hierarchical shaping), see Defining
QoS on Interfaces, page 63-10.

Step 1 On the Quality of Service page, click the Add button beneath the QoS Classes table, or select a class and
then click the Edit button. The QoS Class dialog box is displayed.
Step 2 Click the Shaping tab. See Table63-10 on page 63-31 for a description of the fields on this tab.
Step 3 Select the Enable Shaping check box.
Step 4 Select the shaping type (Average or Peak).
Step 5 Define CIR, sustained burst, and excess burst values. You can define the CIR by percentage or by an
absolute value of bits per second. The option you choose determines how you define the burst values.
Step 6 Proceed to another tab or click OK to save your definitions locally on the client and close the dialog box.
The defined class is displayed in the QoS Classes table on the Quality of Service page.
Step 7 Continue as described in Defining QoS Policies, page 63-10.
Quality of Service Policy Page
Use the Quality of Service page to view, create, and edit QoS classes on specific interfaces of the selected
device or on the control plane. QoS policies enable you to define techniques for managing the delay,
delay variation (jitter), bandwidth, and packet loss parameters on a network. In addition, you can use the
Quality of Service page to configure hierarchical shaping on an interface as an alternative to configuring
shaping parameters for individual QoS classes.
For more information, see Quality of Service on Cisco IOS Routers, page 63-1.
