Chapter 38 Configuring Standard QoS
How to Configure Standard QoS
Mapping DSCP or CoS Values to an Egress Queue and to a Threshold ID
You can prioritize traffic by placing packets with particular DSCPs or costs of service into certain queues
and adjusting the queue thresholds so that packets with lower priorities are dropped.
Note The egress queue default settings are suitable for most situations. You should change them only when
you have a thorough understanding of the egress queues and if these settings do not meet your QoS
solution.
Step 3 mls qos queue-set output qset-id
threshold queue-id drop-threshold1
drop-threshold2 reserved-threshold
maximum-threshold
Configures the WTD thresholds, guarantees the availability of buffers,
and configures the maximum memory allocation for the queue-set (four
egress queues per port).
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.
qset-id—Enters the ID of the queue-set specified in Step 2. The range
is 1 to 2.
queue-id—Enters the specific queue in the queue-set on which the
command is performed. The range is 1 to 4.
drop-threshold1 drop-threshold2—Specifies the two WTD thresholds
expressed as a percentage of the queue’s allocated memory. The range
is 1 to 3200 percent.
reserved-threshold—Enters 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.
maximum-threshold—Enables 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 3200 percent.
Step 4 interface interface-id Specifies the port of the outbound traffic, and enters interface
configuration mode.
Step 5 queue-set qset-id Maps the port to a queue-set.
qset-id—Enters the ID of the queue-set specified in Step 2. The range
is 1 to 2. The default is 1.
Step 6 end Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
