Creating an Input QoS Policy
To create an input QoS policy, use the following steps.
1. Create a Layer 3 input QoS policy.
CONFIGURATION mode
qos-policy-input
Create a Layer 2 input QoS policy by specifying the keyword layer2 after the qos-policy-input command.
2. After you create an input QoS policy, do one or more of the following:
Configuring Policy-Based Rate Policing
Setting a dot1p Value for Egress Packets
Configuring Policy-Based Rate Policing
To configure policy-based rate policing, use the following command.
Configure rate police ingress traffic.
QOS-POLICY-IN mode
rate-police
Setting a dot1p Value for Egress Packets
To set a dot1p value for egress packets, use the following command.
Set a dscp or dot1p value for egress packets.
QOS-POLICY-IN mode
set mac-dot1p
Creating an Output QoS Policy
To create an output QoS policy, use the following commands.
1. Create an output QoS policy.
CONFIGURATION mode
qos-policy-output
2. After you configure an output QoS policy, do one or more of the following:
Scheduler Strict Policy-based Strict-priority Queueing configuration is done through scheduler strict. It is applied to
Qos-policy-output. When scheduler strict is applied to multiple Queues, high queue number takes precedence.
Allocating Bandwidth to Queue
Specifying WRED Drop Precedence
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
The switch schedules packets for egress based on Deficit Round Robin (DRR). This strategy offers a guaranteed data rate.
Allocate bandwidth to queues only in terms of percentage in 4-queue and 8-queue systems. The following table shows the
default bandwidth percentage for each queue.
