Configuring the Egress Expedite Queue

You can ensure that certain packets have priority over all others by queuing them in the egress expedite
queue. SRR services this queue until it is empty before servicing the other queues.

Limiting the Bandwidth on an Egress Interface

You can limit the bandwidth on an egress port. For example, if a customer pays only for a small
percentage of a high-speed link, you can limit the bandwidth to that amount.
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.
Monitoring and Maintaining Standard QoS
Command Purpose
Step 1 configure terminal Enters global configuration mode.
Step 2 mls qos Enables QoS on a switch.
Step 3 interface interface-id Specifies the egress port, and enters interface configuration mode.
Step 4 priority-queue out Enables the egress expedite queue, whic h is disabled by default.
When you configure this command, the SRR weight and queue size ratios
are affected because there is one less queue participating in SRR. Th is
means that weight1 in the srr-queue bandwidth shape or the srr-queue
bandwidth share command is ignored (not used in the ratio calculation).
Step 5 end Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
Command Purpose
Step 1 configure terminal Enters global configuration mode.
Step 2 interface interface-id Specifies the port to be rate limited, and enters interface configuration
mode.
Step 3 srr-queue bandwidth limit weight1 Specifies the percentage of the port speed to which the port should be
limited. The range is 10 to 90.
By default, the port is not rate limited and is set to 100 percent.
Step 4 end Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
Command Purpose
show access-lists Verifies your entries.
show class-map [class-map-name]Displays QoS class maps, which define the match criteria to classify
traffic.
