Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. For detailed information about user groups and task IDs, see the Configuring AAA Services on Cisco IOS XR Software module of the Cisco IOS XR System Security Configuration Guide.

The bandwidth command is used to specify the minimum guaranteed bandwidth allocated for traffic matching a particular class. Bandwidth may be defined as a specific value or may be set as a percentage of the interface bandwidth.

The actual bandwidth used is calculated in multiples of 256 kbps, the minimum bandwidth rate. The configured value is rounded to the nearest multiple of 256 kbps. The value shown in the output of the running-configuration shows the configured value as entered by the user.

If a percentage value is set, the accuracy that can be expected is 1 percent.

The bandwidth command can be used only within egress service policies. Use within an ingress policy is not supported.

Note that the bandwidth value takes into account the Layer 2 encapsulation that will be applied to traffic leaving the interface. For POS/SDH transmission, the encapsulation is considered to be 4 bytes. For Ethernet, the encapsulation is 14 bytes; whereas for 802.1q, the encapsulation is 18 bytes. The actual bandwidth assigned to a class can be seen in the output of the show qos interface command.

Be careful when specifying bandwidth guarantees close to 100 percent, because the Layer 2 encapsulation considered does not include the entire Layer 2 header. This can lead to oversubscription, particularly in the case of small packet sizes.

A policy map can have a single bandwidth statement per class. Both percentage and actual value bandwidth configurations can be used within a policy map.

The bandwidth command does not specify how the bandwidth is to be shared. Instead it specifies how much bandwidth is guaranteed per class, by setting the number of tokens that are assigned to the token bucket of a particular class. For configured behavior to work correctly, you must ensure that the sum of the bandwidths plus any priority traffic is not greater than the bandwidth of the interface itself. If the interface is oversubscribed, unpredictable behavior results.

The bandwidth of the interface is set to be that of the physical interface, unless a hierarchical policy is defined that reduces the bandwidth available to the traffic. The following example shows a hierarchical policy being used to shape traffic to the specified value. The child policy then determines how the shaped bandwidth should be apportioned between the specified classes:

policy-map parent
  class match_all
  shape average 1000000
  bandwidth 1000000
    service-policy child

policy-map child
  class gold
    bandwidth percent 20
  class silver
    bandwidth percent 40
  class default
    bandwidth percent 40

Note the presence of the bandwidth command within the parent policy. In this instance, the bandwidth command not only sets the minimum bandwidth for the class but also resets the reference point for the bandwidth percent statements in the child policy.

It is important to note that in a hierarchical configuration, the parent policy must have a bandwidth statement for the bandwidth statements in the child policy to take effect. If the bandwidth statement is not present in the parent policy, even if bandwidth statements are present in the child policy, no minimum bandwidth is reserved for the class.

Because the parent policy is applied to the interface, the bandwidth percentage values used in the child policy are in respect to the bandwidth value present in the parent policy rather than the supported physical interface traffic rate.

When the percent keyword is used with the bandwidth command, the bandwidth of the interface is defined as being the Layer 2 capacity excluding the POS/GE encapsulation but including the HDLC flags, FCS, and so on. These have to be included because they are applied per packet, and the system cannot predict how many packets of a particular packet size are being sent out.

For example, the following policy is applied to an OC-192 interface:

policy-map oc-192
  class c1
  bandwidth percent 50

The resulting bandwidth reservation for class c1 is 4,792,320 kbps. This equates to 50 percent of the OC-192 bandwidth excluding the POS overhead.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. For detailed information about user groups and task IDs, see the Configuring AAA Services on Cisco IOS XR Software module of the Cisco IOS XR System Security Configuration Guide.

The bandwidth remaining command is used to set the Modified Deficit Round Robin (MDRR) weight for the particular class.

When applied within an egress service policy, the command is used to define how any unallocated bandwidth should be apportioned. It typically is used in conjunction with the bandwidth command. In such a combination, if the minimum bandwidth guarantees are met, the remaining bandwidth is shared in the ratio defined by the bandwidth remaining command in the class configuration in the policy-map.

If there is more bandwidth remaining and minimum bandwidth guarantees are met, the remaining bandwidth is shared equally by the classes, with no minimum bandwidth guarantee in the class configuration in the policy-map.

Note that on egress, the actual bandwidth of the interface is determined to be the Layer 2 capacity excluding the Layer 2 encapsulation, but including the HDLC flags, FCS, and so on. These have to be included because they are applied per packet, and the system cannot predict how many packets of a particular packet size are being sent out.

On ingress, you cannot use the bandwidth command to set the minimum bandwidth guarantee. Therefore, the bandwidth remaining command is used to proportionally allocate bandwidth to the particular classes, but there is no reserved bandwidth capacity.

Note that on ingress, the interface reference value is the Layer 3 capacity of the interface.

On both ingress and egress, if the bandwidth remaining command is not present, then bandwidth is shared equally between the configured classes present in the policy-map. When attempting precise calculations of expected MDRR behavior, you must bear in mind that because you are dealing with the bandwidth remaining on the link, you must convert the values to the bandwidth remaining percentages on the link, based upon the packet sizes of the traffic within the class. If the packet sizes are the same in all the classes, then the defined ratio is enforced precisely and predictably on the link.

Policy Map Configuration Mode

Within a policy map, the class (policy-map) command can be used to specify the name of the class whose policy you want to create or change. The policy map must be identified first.

To identify the policy map (and enter the required policy map configuration mode), use the policy-map command before you use the class (policy-map) command. After you specify a policy map, you can configure the policy for new classes or modify the policy for any existing classes in that policy map.

Class Characteristics

The class name that you specify in the policy map ties the characteristics for that class—that is, its policy—to the class map and its match criteria, as configured using the class-map command.

Examples

The following example shows how to create a policy map called policy1, which is defined to shape class1 traffic at 30 percent and default class traffic at 20 percent.

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# class-map class1
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-cmap)# match precedence ipv4 3
!
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# policy-map policy1
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-pmap)# class class1
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-pmap-c)# shape average percent 30
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-pmap-c)# exit
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-pmap)# class class-default
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-pmap-c)# shape average percent 20

The default class is used for packets that do not satisfy configured match criteria for class1. Class1 must be defined before it can be used in policy1, but the class default can be used in a policy map without defining it explicitly.

The class-map command specifies the name of the class for which you want to create or modify class map match criteria. Use of this command enables class map configuration mode in which you can enter any match command to configure the match criteria for this class. Packets arriving on the interface are checked against the match criteria configured for a class map to determine if the packet belongs to that class.

The following commands can be used in a class map:

match access-group

match cos

match destination-address

match discard-class

match dscp

match mpls experimental topmost

match not

match precedence

match protocol

match qos-group

match source-address

match vlan

The hw-module qos multicast command enables multicast QoS, which means that general, system wide QoS applies to multicast traffic as well.


Note The following commands apply to Cisco XR 12000 Series Router Engine 3 line cards only: hw-module qos multicast, hw-module qos multicast priorityq, and show hw-module qos multicast. For Engine 5 line cards, there is no requirement for a command to enable QoS. On Engine 5 line cards, multicast QoS behaves like unicast QoS (when a policy is attached to an interface).


If multicast QoS is disabled (which is the default value), all multicast traffic travels to the default queue. When multicast routes are configured with QoS enabled, there may be insufficient resources (PLU/TLU, MGIDs, and so on.) to support multicast QoS for all routes. In such cases, some multicast routes are unchanged and associated multicast traffic is routed to the default queue.

To use the match discard-class command, you must first enter the class-map command to specify the name of the class whose match criteria you want to establish. If you specify more than one match discard-class command in a class map, only the last command entered applies.

The match discard-class command sets the match criteria for examining discard classes marked on the packet. Up to seven discard class values can be matched in one match statement. For example, match discard-class 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 returns matches for discard class values 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7. Only one of the seven values is needed to yield a match (OR operation).

The discard class value is used as a matching criterion only. The value has no mathematical significance. For instance, the discard class value 2 is not greater than 1. The value simply indicates that a packet marked with the discard class of 2 should be treated differently than a packet marked with a discard class value of 1.

To use the match dscp command, you must first enter the class-map command to specify the name of the class whose match criteria you want to establish. If you specify more than one match dscp command in a class map, only the last command entered applies.

The match dscp command examines the higher-order six bits in the type of service (ToS) byte of the IP header. Up to eight IP DSCP values can be matched in one match statement. For example, match dscp ipv4 3 10 15 40 48 55 60 63 returns matches for IP DSCP values 3 10 15 40 48 55 60, and 63. Only one of the eight values is needed to yield a match (OR operation).

The IP DSCP value is used as a matching criterion only. The value has no mathematical significance. For instance, the IP DSCP value 2 is not greater than 1. The value simply indicates that a packet marked with the discard class of 2 should be treated differently than a packet marked with a discard class value of 1. The treatment of these marked packets is defined by the user through the setting of QoS policies in policy map class configuration mode.

The match mpls experimental topmost command is used by the class map to identify MPLS experimental values matching on a packet.

To use the match mpls experimental topmost command, you must first enter the class-map command to specify the name of the class whose match criteria you want to establish. If you specify more than one match mpls experimental topmost command in a class map, only the last command entered applies.

This command examines the three experimental bits contained in the topmost label of an MPLS packet. Up to four experimental values can be matched in one match statement. For example, match mpls experimental topmost 2 4 5 7 returns matches for experimental values of 2, 4, 5, and 7. Only one of the four values is needed to yield a match (OR operation).

The experimental values are used as a matching criterion only. The value has no mathematical significance. For instance, the experimental value 2 is not greater than 1. The value indicates that a packet marked with the experimental value of 2 should be treated differently than a packet marked with the EXP value of 1. The treatment of these different packets is defined by the user through the setting of QoS policies in policy map class configuration mode.

The match precedence command specifies a precedence value that is used as the match criteria against which packets are checked to determine if they belong to the class specified by the class map.

To use the match precedence command, you must first enter the class-map command to specify the name of the class whose match criteria you want to establish. If you specify more than one match precedence command in a class map, only the last command entered applies.

The match precedence command examines the higher-order three bits in the type of service (ToS) byte of the IP header. Up to eight precedence values can be matched in one match statement. For example, match precedence ipv4 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 returns matches for IP precedence values of 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7. Only one of the eight values is needed to yield a match (OR operation).

The precedence values are used as a matching criterion only. The value has no mathematical significance. For instance, the precedence value 2 is not greater than 1. The value simply indicates that a packet marked with the precedence value of 2 is different than a packet marked with the precedence value of 1. The treatment of these different packets is defined by the user through the setting of QoS policies in policy map class configuration mode.

The match qos-group command sets the match criteria for examining QoS groups marked on the packet. Up to eight QoS group values can be matched in one match statement. For example, match qos-group 4 9 11 15 16 21 30 31 returns matches for QoS group values of 4 9 11 15 16 21 30, and 31. Only one of the eight values is needed to yield a match (OR operation).

To use the match qos-group command, you must first enter the class-map command to specify the name of the class whose match criteria you want to establish. If you specify more than one match qos-group command in a class map, only the last command entered applies.

The QoS group value is used as a matching criterion only. The value has no mathematical significance. For instance, the QoS group value 2 is not greater than 1. The value simply indicates that a packet marked with the QoS group of 2 should be treated differently than a packet marked with a QoS group value of 1. The treatment of these different packets is defined using the service-policy command in policy map class configuration mode.

The QoS group setting is limited in scope to the local router. Typically the QoS group is set on the local router and is used in conjunction with WRED or MDRR to give differing levels of service based on the group identifier.

This command now enters policy-map police configuration mode.

The conform-action, exceed-action and violate-action keywords changed into commands within the policy-map police configuration mode.

The cos and transmit keywords were added to the action argument. The atm-clp keyword was added on the Cisco XR 12000 Series Router.

Release 3.5.0

No modification.


Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. For detailed information about user groups and task IDs, see the Configuring AAA Services on Cisco IOS XR Software module of the Cisco IOS XR System Security Configuration Guide.

The atm-clp keyword is available on the Cisco XR 12000 Series Router only.

The traffic policing feature works with a single-token bucket algorithm on the Cisco XR 12000 Series Router, and a two-token bucket algorithm on the Cisco CRS-1.

The police command can set the DSCP, the precedence, qos-group, or the discard class for IP packets, and experimental and discard-class values for MPLS packets.

For bundled interfaces, traffic policing can be configured only as a percentage.

On the Cisco CRS-1 router, if no violate-action is specified, a default action of drop is applied, thereby activating two token buckets.

Policing can be applied in both ingress and egress directions.

The parameters set by the action keywords are rounded by the hardware. To check the actual values programmed in the hardware use the show qos interface command.

Hierarchical policing is also supported. In such a configuration, both parent and child policies have class-maps containing policing statements, as in the following example:

!
policy-map child
 class gold
  police rate percent 50 conform-action set precedence immediate exceed-action drop
 !
!
policy-map parent
 class match_all
  police rate 10000 kbps burst 15000 exceed-action drop
  service-policy child
 !
!

Note that configured values take into account the Layer 2 encapsulation applied to traffic. This applies to both ingress and egress policing. For POS/SDH transmission, the encapsulation is considered to be 4 bytes. For Ethernet, the encapsulation is 14 bytes; whereas for 802.1Q, the encapsulation is 18 bytes.

The policer uses an incremental step size of 256 kbps. The configured value is rounded down to the nearest 256 kbps. The value shown in the output of the running-configuration shows the configured value as entered by the user.

If the burst value is not specifically configured, it is automatically set to equate to 250 msec-worth of the CIR value. For example, if a CIR value of 1000000 kbps is entered, the burst value is calculated to be 32000000 bytes. Note, however, that the maximum burst value supported is 2,097,120 bytes.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. For detailed information about user groups and task IDs, see the Configuring AAA Services on Cisco IOS XR Software module of the Cisco IOS XR System Security Configuration Guide.

Use the policy-map command to specify the name of the policy map to be created, added to, or modified before you can configure policies for classes whose match criteria are defined in a class map. Entering the policy-map command enables policy map configuration mode in which you can configure or modify the class policies for that policy map.

You can configure class policies in a policy map only if the classes have match criteria defined for them. Use the class-map and match commands to configure the match criteria for a class. Because you can configure a maximum of 32 classes in one policy map, no policy map can contain more than 32 class policies. The maximum number of 32 classes per policy includes the implicit default class and its child policies.

A single policy map can be attached to multiple interfaces concurrently. The maximum number of policy maps supported is 1000.

The priority command configures low latency queueing (LLQ), providing strict priority queueing (PQ). Strict PQ allows delay-sensitive data such as voice to be dequeued and sent before packets in other queues are dequeued. When a class is marked as high priority using the priority command, we recommend that you configure a policer to limit the priority traffic. This policer ensures that the priority traffic does not starve all other traffic on the line card, which protects low-priority traffic from starvation. Use the police command to explicitly configure the policer.

The priority command sets up classes based on a variety of criteria (not just User Datagram Protocol [UDP] ports) and assigns a priority to them.

The bandwidth and priority commands cannot be used in the same class, within the same policy map. These commands can be used together in the same policy map, however.

Within a policy map, you can give one or more classes priority status. When multiple classes within a single policy map are configured as priority classes, all traffic from these classes is queued to the same, single, priority queue.

Packets satisfying the match criteria for a class accumulate in the queue reserved for the class until they are serviced by the scheduling mechanism. The queue-limit command defines the maximum threshold for a class. When that threshold is reached, enqueued packets to the class queue result in tail drop (packet drop). Tail drop is a congestion avoidance technique that drops packets when an output queue is full, until congestion is eliminated.

Use the show qos interface command to display the queue limit and other policer values.

The RED congestion avoidance technique takes advantage of the congestion control mechanism of TCP. By randomly dropping packets before periods of high congestion, RED tells the packet source to decrease its transmission rate. Assuming the packet source is using TCP, it decreases its transmission rate until all the packets reach their destination, indicating that the congestion is cleared. You can use RED as a way to cause TCP to slow transmission of packets. TCP not only pauses, but it also restarts quickly and adapts its transmission rate to the rate that the network can support.

RED distributes losses in time and maintains normally low queue depth while absorbing traffic bursts. When enabled on an interface, RED begins dropping packets when congestion occurs at a rate you select during configuration.

The default values for RED are calculated as follows:

default min_threshold = 0.03 * B

default max_threshold = 0.1 * B

where B is the bandwidth for the queue. The bandwidth for the queue is equal to the shaping rate, if one is defined. Otherwise, the bandwidth is equal to the interface rate.

The mark probability is always set to 1.

When the units are packets, packets are assumed to be 256 bytes in size.


Note RED is enabled when you configure any of the supported random-detect commands.

The service-policy (policy-map class) command creates hierarchical service policies in policy-map class configuration mode.

This command is different from the service-policy (interface) command used in interface configuration mode.

The child policy is the previously defined service policy that is being associated with the new service policy through the set discard-class command. The new service policy using the preexisting service policy is the parent policy.

The service-policy (policy-map class) command has the following restrictions:

The priority command can be used in either the parent or the child policy, but not both policies simultaneously.

If the bandwidth command is used in the child policy, the bandwidth command must also be used in the parent policy. The one exception is for policies using the default class.

Precedence can be set using a number or corresponding name. After IP Precedence bits are set, other QoS services such as Modified Deficit Round Robin (MDRR) and Weighted Random Early Detection (WRED) then operate on the bit settings.

The network gives priority (or some type of expedited handling) to the marked traffic through the application of MDRR or WRED at points downstream in the network. IP precedence can be set at the edge of the network (or administrative domain) and have queueing act on it thereafter. MDRR can speed handling for high-precedence traffic at congestion points. WRED ensures that high-precedence traffic has lower loss rates than other traffic during times of congestion.

The mapping from keywords such as 0 (routine) and 1 (priority) to a precedence value is useful only in some instances. That is, the use of the precedence bit is evolving. You can define the meaning of a precedence value by enabling other features that use the value. In the case of high-end Internet QoS, IP precedences can be used to establish classes of service that do not necessarily correspond numerically to better or worse handling in the network.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. For detailed information about user groups and task IDs, see the Configuring AAA Services on Cisco IOS XR Software module of the Cisco IOS XR System Security Configuration Guide.

When you use the shape average command on the Cisco CRS-1, egress shaping is done at the Layer 2 level and includes the Layer 2 header in the rate calculation. Ingress shaping is done at the Layer 3 level and does not include the Layer 2 header in the rate calculation. Shaping is performed in multiples of 256 kbps, the minimum shaping rate.

When using this command on the Cisco XR 12000 Series Router, egress and ingress shaping is performed in multiples of 64 kbps on the Layer 3 level.

If you have both shape and bandwidth configured for a class, ensure that the shape percent value is always greater than the percent value for bandwidth.

Field
Description

LEVEL1 class

Level 1 class identifier in hexadecimal format.

class name

Name that was assigned to this class with the class command.

Queue ID

Queue identifier.

Queue Min. BW

Minimum bandwidth allowed on this queue.

Queue Max. BW

Maximum bandwidth allowed on this queue.

Queue Max. Burst

Maximum burst size allowed on this queue.

Weight

Weight assigned to the specified class.

If no weight has been assigned, the show policy-map interface command output shows "No explicit weight assigned for this class."

Queue Limit

Configured queue limit.

Policer average

Average Committed Information Rate (CIR) in bits per second (bps), gigabits per second (gbps), kilobits per second (KBits), or megabits per second (mbps).

Policer conform burst

Configured burst size, expressed in bytes, gigbytes (gbytes), kilobytes (kbytes), megabytes (mbytes), milliseconds (ms), or microseconds (us).

Policer excess burst

Programmed burst size for conforming cells, expressed in bytes, gigbytes (gbytes), kilobytes (kbytes), megabytes (mbytes), milliseconds (ms), or microseconds (us).

Policer conform action

Policer conform action.

Policer exceed action

Policer exceed action.

Policer violate

Indicates whether the device supports excess burst size configuration. In the example, excess burst size configuration is supported for transmitted cells only.

Policer exceed action value

Policer exceed action value.

Policer violate action

Policer violate action.


switch-fabric service-policy

To configure a service policy for the switch fabric, use the switch-fabric service-policy command in global configuration mode. To remove a specified service policy from the switch fabric, use the no form of this command.

switch-fabric service-policy policy-map-name

no switch-fabric service-policy policy-map-name

Syntax Description

policy-map-name

Name of the predefined policy map to be used as a QoS policy. The name can be a maximum of 40 alphanumeric characters.


Defaults

No service policy is specified.

violate-action

To configure the action to take on packets that violate the rate limit, use the violate-action command in policy map police configuration mode. To remove a conform action from the policy-map, use the no form of this command.

violate-action action

no violate-action action

Syntax Description

action

(Optional) Specifies the action to take on packets. Specify one of the following keywords:

drop—Drops the packet.

set—Has the following keywords and arguments:

cos value—Sets the class of service value. Range is 0 to 7.

discard-class value—Sets the discard class value. Range is 0 to 7.

dscp [tunnel] value—Sets the differentiated services code point (DSCP) value and sends the packet. See Table 2 for a list of valid values. With the tunnel keyword, the DSCP is set in the outer header.

mpls experimental {topmost | imposition} value—Sets the experimental (EXP) value of the Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) packet topmost label or imposed label. Range is 0 to 7.

precedence [tunnel] precedence—Sets the IP precedence and sends the packet. See Table 3 for a list of valid values. With the tunnel keyword, the precedence is set in the outer header.

qos-group value—Sets the QoS group value.

transmit—Transmits the packets.


Defaults

No default behavior or values
