Configuring Policy-Based Rate Shaping
To configure policy-based rate shaping, use the following command.
• Configure rate shape egress traffic.
QOS-POLICY-OUT mode
rate-shape
Allocating Bandwidth to Queue
Schedule packets for egress based on Deficit Round Robin (DRR). These strategies both offer a
guaranteed data rate.
The following table lists the default bandwidth weights for each queue, and their equivalent percentage
which is derived by dividing the bandwidth weight by the sum of all queue weights.
Table 39. Default Bandwidth Weights
Queue Default Weight Equivalent Percentage
0 1 6.67%
1 2 13.33%
2 4 26.67%
3 8 53.33%

Specifying WRED Drop Precedence
Specifying WRED drop precedence is supported on the Z9000 platform.
• Specify a WRED profile to yellow and/or green traffic.
QOS-POLICY-OUT mode

For more information, refer to Applying a WRED Profile to Traffic.
Create Policy Maps
There are two types of policy maps: input and output.
Creating Input Policy Maps
There are two types of input policy-maps: Layer 3 and Layer 2.
1. Create a Layer 3 input policy map.
CONFIGURATION mode
policy-map-input
Create a Layer 2 input policy map by specifying the keyword layer2 with the policy-map-input
command.
2. After you create an input policy map, do one or more of the following:
Applying a Class-Map or Input QoS Policy to a Queue
