AutoQoS for the Enterprise


The AutoQoS for the Enterprise feature automates the deployment of quality of service (QoS) policies in a general business environment, particularly for midsize companies and branch offices of larger companies. Existing QoS policies may be present during the first configuration phase of this feature, that is, during the Auto-Discovery (data collection) phase. However, any existing QoS policies must be removed before the AutoQoS-generated polices are applied during the second configuration phase of this feature.

Feature History for AutoQoS for the Enterprise

Release
Modification

12.3(7)T

This feature was introduced.

12.3(11)T

Prerequisites for AutoQoS for the Enterprise

Ensure that no QoS policies (service policies) are attached to the interface when you apply AutoQos. This feature cannot be configured if a QoS policy is attached to the interface.

To include Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) traps (monitored events), the SNMP server must be enabled.

Restrictions for AutoQoS for the Enterprise

General Restrictions

This feature is supported on the following interfaces, data-link connection identifiers (DLCIs), and permanent virtual circuits (PVCs) only:

Serial interfaces with PPP or High-Level Data Link Control (HDLC)

Frame Relay DLCIs in point-to-point subinterfaces only

ATM PVCs

This feature is supported on low-speed and high-speed ATM PVCs in point-to-point subinterfaces.


Note An ATM PVC is classified as low speed if its bandwidth is less than or equal to 768 kbps; an ATM PVC is classified as high speed if its bandwidth is greater than 768 kbps.


Frame Relay-to-ATM Interworking links

Serial Interface Restrictions

For a serial interface with a low-speed link, Multilink PPP (MLP) is configured automatically. The serial interface must have an IP address. When MLP is configured, this IP address is removed and put on the MLP bundle. To ensure that the traffic goes through the low-speed link, the following conditions must be met:

The AutoQoS for the Enterprise feature must be configured at both ends of the link.

The amount of bandwidth configured must be the same on both ends of the link.

Frame Relay DLCI Restrictions

This feature cannot be configured on a Frame Relay DLCI if a map class is attached to the DLCI.

If a Frame Relay DLCI is already assigned to one subinterface, the AutoQoS for the Enterprise feature cannot be configured from a different subinterface.

For low-speed Frame Relay DLCIs configured for use on Frame Relay-to-ATM networks, MLP over Frame Relay (MLPoFR) is configured automatically. The subinterface must have an IP address.

When MLPoFR is configured, this IP address is removed and put on the MLP bundle. The AutoQoS for the Enterprise feature must also be configured on the ATM side of the network.

For low-speed Frame Relay DLCIs with Frame Relay-to-ATM Interworking, the AutoQoS for the Enterprise feature cannot be configured if a virtual template is already configured for the DLCI.

ATM PVC Restrictions

For a low-speed ATM PVC, the AutoQoS for the Enterprise feature cannot be configured if a virtual template is already configured for the ATM PVC.

For low-speed ATM PVCs, MLP over ATM (MLPoATM) is configured automatically. The subinterface must have an IP address.

When MLPoATM is configured, this IP address is removed and put on the MLP bundle. The AutoQoS for the Enterprise feature must also be configured on the ATM side of the network.

Information About AutoQoS for the Enterprise

To configure the AutoQoS for the Enterprise feature, you should understand the following concepts:

Benefits of AutoQoS for the Enterprise

Design Considerations

Configuration Phases

Benefits of AutoQoS for the Enterprise

The key benefits of the AutoQoS for the Enterprise feature include the following:

Customers can implement the QoS features required for voice, video, and data traffic without an in-depth knowledge of the following underlying technologies:

PPP

Frame Relay

ATM

Service policies

Link efficiency mechanisms (LEMs), such as Link Fragmentation and Interleaving (LFI)

This feature simplifies QoS implementation and speeds up the provisioning of QoS technology over a Cisco network. It reduces human error and lowers training costs.

This feature creates class maps and policy maps on the basis of Cisco experience and "best practices" methodology.

Customers can also use existing Cisco IOS commands to modify the configurations, automatically generated by the AutoQoS for the Enterprise feature, as needed to meet specific requirements.

Design Considerations

General QoS Requirements

Recommended methods and values are configured to meet the QoS requirements for voice traffic.

The AutoQoS for the Enterprise feature takes the interface type and bandwidth into consideration when implementing the following QoS features:

Low latency queueing (LLQ) — Priority Queueing (PQ)

The LLQ (specifically, PQ) is applied to the voice packets to meet the latency requirements.

Compressed Real-Time Protocol (CRTP)

With CRTP, the 40-byte IP header of the voice packet is reduced from 2 to 4 bytes, thereby reducing voice bandwidth requirements. CRTP must be applied at both ends of a network link.

LFI

LFI reduces the jitter of voice packets by preventing them from getting delayed behind large data packets in a queue. LFI must be applied at both ends of a network link.

Bandwidth Implications

The bandwidth of the serial interface determines the speed of the link. The speed of the link, in turn, determines the configurations generated by the AutoQoS for the Enterprise feature.


Note Stop and restart Auto-Discovery if the bandwidth of the link is changed.


The AutoQoS for the Enterprise feature uses the bandwidth that is allocated at the time the feature is configured. The AutoQoS for the Enterprise feature does not respond to changes made to the bandwidth after the feature is configured.

For example, if the auto qos command is used to configure the AutoQoS for the Enterprise feature on an interface with 1000 kbps, the feature generates configurations for high-speed interfaces. However, if the bandwidth is later changed to 500 kbps, the feature will not use the lower bandwidth. The AutoQoS for the Enterprise feature retains the higher bandwidth and continues to use the generated configurations for high-speed interfaces.

To force this feature to generate configurations for the low-speed interfaces, perform the following tasks:

1. Use the no auto qos command to remove the AutoQoS for the Enterprise feature.

2. Use the no auto discovery qos command to stop the Auto-Discovery (data collection) configuration phase.

3. Use the auto discovery qos command to resume the Auto-Discovery (data collection) phase.

4. Use the auto qos command to begin the AutoQoS template generation and installation configuration phase.

Fragmentation for Frame Relay Networks

For Frame Relay networks, fragmentation is configured using a delay of 10 milliseconds (ms) and a minimum fragment size of 60 bytes. This configuration ensures that theVoice over IP (VoIP) packets are not fragmented. However, when the G.711 coder-decoder (codec) is used on low-speed links, the fragment size configured by the AutoQoS for the Enterprise feature could be smaller than the size of the G.711 VoIP packet.

To solve this potential problem, choose one of the following:

Change the fragment size to the required value.

Change the size of the G.711 VoIP packet to a smaller value.

For example, if the AutoQoS for the Enterprise feature is configured on a Frame Relay DLCI with 128 kbps, the fragment size configured by this feature will be 160 bytes. The size of the G.711 VoIP packet will be 160 bytes, minus the bytes in the packet headers for the layers. The workaround is to either change the fragment size from 160 bytes to 220 bytes or change the size of the G.711 VoIP packet from 160 bytes to 80 bytes.

Configuration Phases

The AutoQoS for the Enterprise feature consists of two configuration phases, completed in the following order:

1. Auto-Discovery (data collection)

In untrust mode, the Auto-Discovery phase uses network-based application recognition (NBAR)-based protocol discovery to detect the applications on the network and performs statistical analysis on the network traffic.

In trust mode, the Auto-Discovery phase classifies packets based on DSCP values in the IP header and collects the statistics to calculate bandwidth and average rate/peak rate and passes that data to the template module.

2. AutoQoS template generation and installation

This phase generates templates from the data collected during the Auto-Discovery phase and installs the templates on the interface. Then these templates are used as the basis for creating the class maps and policy maps for your network. After the class maps and policy maps are created, they are then installed on the interface.

Figure 1 illustrates the top-level processes for configuring the AutoQoS for Enterprise feature. The dotted lines indicate optional processes.

Figure 1 Top-Level Processes for Configuring the AutoQoS for the Enterprise Feature

First, start the Auto-Discovery (data collection) phase by using the auto discovery qos [trust] command. Note the following points about the Auto-Discovery phase:

If you want to stop the Auto-Discovery phase, use the no auto discovery qos command. This command stops data collection and removes any data collection reports that have been generated.

If you want to view the Auto-Discovery phase in progress, use the show auto discovery qos command. This command displays the results of the data collected during the Auto-Discovery phase.

Second, start the AutoQoS template generation phase by using the auto qos command. This phase generates templates from the data collected during the Auto-Discovery phase. It then uses those templates as the basis for creating and installing the class maps and policy maps for your network.


Note After the auto qos command has finished creating and installing the templates, creating the class maps and policy maps, and installing the class maps and policy maps on the interface, you can view the class maps and policy maps by using the show auto qos command.


Detailed information about the Auto-Discovery phase and the AutoQoS template generation phase is provided below.

Auto-Discovery (Data Collection) Phase

In untrust mode, the Auto-Discovery (data collection) phase uses NBAR to detect network applications as they arrive at an interface, collect data from the offered traffic, and perform statistical analysis.

In trust mode, the Auto-Discovery phase uses DSCP values in the IP header to classify packets and collects the statistics to calculate bandwidth and the average rate/peak rate and passes that data to the template module.

The data collected should be a representative sampling of the volume and type of voice, video, and data on your network. Therefore, the amount of time devoted to data collection varies from network to network. Run the Auto-Discovery phase for as long as necessary. The length of time needed can vary, depending on the volume and nature of traffic on your network.

Class-Map Templates

The AutoQoS for the Enterprise feature creates a number of class-map templates, which are used for the following purposes:

To classify applications and map them to classes for DiffServ per-hop behavior (PHB) mapping

To define the class-based QoS policy templates

AutoQoS Classes

The AutoQoS for the Enterprise feature defines as many as 10 AutoQoS classes, which are designed to accommodate various enterprise applications. Table 1 lists the AutoQoS class name, the type of traffic defined for the class, and the DSCP value for the type of traffic, if applicable.

Table 1 AutoQoS for the Enterprise Feature Class Definitions

These classes are used with the Modular QoS CLI (MQC) to configure class maps, once the classification (match) criteria are determined. The match criteria can be configured using the appropriate match protocol commands.

These classes are also chosen to meet the scheduling requirement in compliance with the DiffServ recommendations. Each class will be associated with an egress (output) queue. The applications mapped to a class will be put into the same queue and receive the same (weighted) queueing scheduling.


Note The actual number of queues created corresponds to the number of applications (and then classes) discovered during AutoQoS-Discovery.


AutoQoS Classification Using DSCP

In trust mode, DSCP values are the classification mechanism for the AutoQoS for the Enterprise feature. These values are obtained from the IP header of the packets. AutoQoS uses this data to calculate bandwidth as well as the peak rate and the average rate per class.

AutoQoS Classification Using NBAR

In untrust mode, NBAR is the classification mechanism for the AutoQoS for the Enterprise feature. NBAR is a Cisco product that classifies network traffic using information about the application such as protocol type, URL, and dynamically assigned ports.

All the NBAR-supported applications are mapped to the AutoQoS classes described in the "AutoQoS Classes" section.

The AutoQoS for the Enterprise feature provides static default mapping rules used to build the AutoQoS class-map templates. Table 2 lists each AutoQoS class, the application to which it is mapped, and the Cisco IOS match protocol command used in a policy map to establish the mapping.

These AutoQoS classes and mapping scheme are used as the basic building blocks for packet classification. If these classes and this mapping scheme are not correct for your particular network, you can change them using the standard Cisco IOS commands and the MQC.

Trusted Boundary

A trusted boundary is the location in the network where the QoS marking is established. AutoQoS can be enabled with the trust keyword of the auto discovery qos command when the data collection phase in enabled.

The AutoQoS classification for trusted marking will use DSCP match statements specified in Table 6.

When a marking is trusted, the DSCP values listed in Table 6 are used in the match statements in the policy maps.

Policy-Map Templates

The policy-map templates created by the AutoQoS for the Enterprise feature are used to define the following three components:

Queues scheduling

Minimum guaranteed bandwidth

Default Weighted Random Early Detection (WRED) for the applicable classes

These components are designed according to "best practice" recommendations and include QoS features for specific link types, such as low- and high-speed Frame Relay DLCIs.

How to Configure AutoQoS for the Enterprise

This section contains the following tasks:

Enabling the Auto-Discovery Phase (required)

Enabling the AutoQoS Template Generation and Installation Phase (required)

Verifying the Configuration (optional)

Enabling the Auto-Discovery Phase

The Auto-Discovery phase uses NBAR in untrust mode or DSCP in trust mode to detect network applications and protocols as they leave an interface, collect data from the offered traffic, and perform statistical analysis. The information collected will be used to build the AutoQoS templates. These templates are then used to create the appropriate class maps and policy maps described in the "Enabling the AutoQoS Template Generation and Installation Phase" section.

To enable the Auto-Discovery phase, use the auto discovery qos command.

Prerequisites for Using the auto discovery qos Command

Before using the auto discovery qos command at an interface or an ATM PVC, ensure that the following prerequisites have been met:

If the interface or subinterface has a link speed of 768 kbps or lower, configure the primary or secondary IP address of the interface by using the ip address command.

For all interfaces or subinterfaces, configure the amount of bandwidth by using the bandwidth command. The amount of bandwidth allocated should be based on the link speed of the interface.

For an ATM PVC, configure the variable bit rate (VBR) by using either the vbr-nrt command or the vbr-rt command or configure the constant bit rate (CBR) by using the cbr command.

Restrictions for Using the auto discovery qos Command

The auto discovery qos command is not supported on subinterfaces.

Do not change the bandwidth of the interface when using the auto discovery qos command.

All previously attached policies must be removed from the interface.

FAQs and Troubleshooting Tips

Below are answers to frequently asked questions (FAQs) and tips for troubleshooting situations that you may encounter when configuring or using the AutoQoS for the Enterprise feature.

Why isn't the AutoQoS for the Enterprise feature supported on my router?

The AutoQoS for the Enterprise feature is supported only on the IP Plus image for low-end platforms. Verify that you have the IP Plus image installed on your router.

Why are some of my QoS configurations still present after I disable the AutoQoS for the Enterprise feature?

You have to disable manually any QoS configurations that you modified.

Why did my low-speed network link go down when I enabled the AutoQoS for the Enterprise feature?

Ensure that the AutoQoS for the Enterprise feature is enabled on both sides of the network link.

Why can't I establish an end-to-end connection on the Frame Relay link?

Check the bandwidth on both sides of the Frame Relay link. The bandwidth on both sides of the link must be the same; otherwise a fragmentation size mismatch occurs, and a connection cannot be established.


Note For more help, see the "Technical Assistance" section.


What to Do Next

If the policy maps and class maps created (on the basis of the templates generated by the AutoQoS for the Enterprise feature) do not meet the needs of your network, the policy maps and class maps can be modified using the appropriate Cisco IOS commands.


Note Although you can modify the policy maps and class maps, they may not be removed properly when the AutoQoS for the Enterprise feature is disabled using the no auto qos command. You may have to manually remove any modified policy maps and class maps. For more information about the no auto qos command, see the "Command Reference" section.


Verifying the Configuration

The AutoQoS template generation phase of the AutoQoS for the Enterprise feature automatically generates templates that are, in turn, used to create policy maps and class maps. These policy maps and class maps configure the QoS features on your network.

To verify the configuration (that is, the policy maps and class maps), perform the following steps.

SUMMARY STEPS

Configuration Examples for AutoQoS for the Enterprise

This section provides the following configuration examples:

Enabling the Auto-Discovery Phase: Example

Enabling the AutoQoS Template Generation Phase: Example

Verifying the AutoQoS for the Enterprise Configuration: Example

Enabling the Auto-Discovery Phase: Example

In the following example, the Auto-Discovery phase of the AutoQoS for the Enterprise feature has been enabled on serial interface s4/0 by using the auto discovery qos command. In this example, the bandwidth has been specified, although this is optional. With this configuration, data about the network traffic will be collected using NBAR-based protocol discovery and the traffic on the network will be analyzed.

Router> enable
Router# configure terminal
Router(config)# interface s4/0 
Router(config-if)# bandwidth 1540
Router(config-if)# auto discovery qos 
Router(config-if)# exit

Enabling the AutoQoS Template Generation Phase: Example

In the following example, the template generation phase of the AutoQoS for the Enterprise feature has been enabled on serial interface s4/0 by using the auto qos command. In the template generation phase, class maps and policy maps are created (and installed) on the basis of the information collected during the Auto-Discovery phase conducted earlier.

Router> enable
Router# configure terminal
Router(config)# interface s4/0 
Router(config-if)# auto qos 
Router(config-if)# exit

Verifying the AutoQoS for the Enterprise Configuration: Example

The AutoQoS template generation phase of the AutoQoS for the Enterprise feature automatically generates templates that are, in turn, used to create policy maps and class maps. These policy maps and class maps configure the QoS features on your network.

The output of the show auto discovery qos command, the show auto qos command, and the show policy-map interface command can be used to verify the contents of the policy maps and class maps created by this AutoQoS for the Enterprise feature. This section contains sample output for each of these commands.

The following is sample output from the show auto discovery qos command. This example displays the data collected during the Auto-Discovery (data collection) phase and suggested policy output.

Command Reference

This section documents modified commands. All other commands used with this feature are documented in the Cisco IOS Release 12.3 command reference publications.

auto discovery qos

show auto discovery qos

auto discovery qos

To begin discovering and collecting data for configuring the AutoQoS for the Enterprise feature, use the auto discovery qos command in interface configuration mode. To stop discovering and collecting data, use the no form of this command.

auto discovery qos [trust]

no auto discovery qos

Syntax Description

trust

(Optional) Indicates that the differentiated services code point (DSCP) markings of a packet are trust (that is, relied on) for classification of the voice, video, and data traffic.

If the optional trust keyword is not specified, the voice, video, and data traffic is classified using network-based application recognition (NBAR), and the packets are marked with the appropriate DSCP value.


Defaults

No data collection is performed.

Command Modes

Interface configuration

Command History

Release
Modification

12.3(7)T

This command was introduced.

12.3(11)T

The trust mode was modified to classify packets by DSCP value rather than by protocol type.


Usage Guidelines

The auto discovery qos command initiates the Auto-Discovery (data collection) phase of the AutoQoS for the Enterprise feature. This command invokes NBAR protocol discovery to collect data and analyze the traffic at the egress direction of the interface.

The no auto discovery qos command terminates the Auto-Discovery phase and removes any data collection reports generated.

The trust keyword is used for the trusted model based on the specified DSCP marking. For more information, see the "Trusted Boundary" section.

Usage Guidelines

The suggested policy output (shown in the example below) lets you preview class maps and policy maps before you issue the auto qos command on an interface. You can then continue with the Auto-Discovery phase until more data is gathered or you can cut and paste the existing data and edit it as desired.

Examples

The following is sample output from the show auto discovery qos command. This example displays the data collected during the Auto-Discovery (data collection) phase using DSCP classification in trusted mode and includes suggested policy map information.
