Item Descri
p
tion
Interface Name Specify the interface to which the policy is to be applied.
Policy Name Select the QoS policy to be applied.
Direction
Specify the direction in which the policy is to be applied.
• Inbound: Applies the policy to the incoming packets on the specified interface.
• Outbound: Applies the policy to the outgoing packets on the specified
interface.

Configuring QoS in the CLI
QoS configuration approach overview
You can configure QoS in these approaches:
• MQC approach
• Non-MQC approach
S
ome features support both approaches, but some support only one.
1. MQC approach
In the modular QoS configuration (MQC) approach, you configure QoS service parameters by using
QoS policies. A QoS policy defines the shaping, policing, or other QoS actions to take on different
classes of traffic. It is a set of class-behavior associations.
A class is a set of match criteria for identifying traffic, and it uses the AND or OR operator:
• If the operator is AND, a packet must match all the criteria to match the class.
• If the operator is OR, a packet matches the class if it matches any of the criteria in the class.
A traffic behavior defines a set of QoS actions to take on packets, such as priority marking and redirect.
By associating a traffic behavior with a class in a QoS policy, you apply the specific set of QoS actions
to the class of traffic.
2. Non-MQC approach
In the non-MQC approach, you configure QoS service parameters without using a QoS policy. For
example, you can use the line rate feature to set a rate limit on an interface without using a QoS policy.
Configuring a QoS policy
Figure 127 shows how to configure a QoS policy.
