Quality of Service
The Quality of Service (QoS) Wizard allows a network administrator to enable Quality of Service (QoS) on the router's WAN interfaces. QoS can also be enabled on IPSec VPN interfaces and tunnels. The QoS edit windows enables the administrator to edit policies created using the wizard.
Creating a QoS Policy
Complete these steps to create a QoS policy:
Step 1
If you want to review the Cisco IOS CLI commands that you send to the router when you complete the configuration, go to the Cisco SDM toolbar, and click Edit > Preferences > Preview commands before delivering to router. The preview screen allows you to cancel the configuration if you want to.
Step 2
In the Cisco SDM toolbar, click Configure.
Step 3
In the Cisco SDM taskbar, click QoS.
Step 4
In the Create QoS Policy tab, click Launch QoS Wizard.
Step 5
Make configuration settings in the wizard screens. Click Next to go from the current screen to the next screen. Click Back to return to a screen you have previously visited.
Step 6
Cisco SDM displays the Summary screen when you have completed the configuration. Review the configuration. If you need to make changes, click Back to return to the screen in which you need to make changes, then return to the Summary screen.
Step 7
To send the configuration to the router, click Finish.
Step 8
If you checked Preview commands before delivering to router in the Edit Preferences screen, the Cisco IOS CLI commands that you are sending are displayed. Click Deliver to send the configuration to the router, or click Cancel to discard it. If you did not make this setting, clicking Finish sends the configuration to the router.

QoS Configuration Summary
Create QoS Policy
The QoS Wizard allows a network administrator to enable Quality of Service (QoS) on the router's WAN interfaces. QoS can also be enabled on IPSec VPN interfaces and tunnels.
The policy is applied to outgoing traffic on the interface.
To create a QoS policy, click Launch QoS Wizard.
QoS Wizard
This window summarizes the information that you will be providing as you complete the QoS Policy wizard.
Click the Next button to begin configuring a QoS policy.
Interface Selection
Choose the interface on which you want to configure the QoS policy in this window. This window lists WAN interfaces, and interfaces which do not have a configured outbound QoS policy. VPN interfaces are included in the list, but interfaces used for Easy VPN clients, and interfaces with an existing QoS policy are not included.
If the router Cisco IOS image release is 12.4(11)T or later, virtual template tunnel interfaces may appear in this list. If you choose a VTI interface, you will be able to configure shaping and queuing parameters.
Field Reference
Table 29-1 Interface Selection
Element
|
Description
|
Details
|
To view configuration details about the chosen interface, click Details. The window displays the interface's IP address and subnet mask, names of access rules and policies applied to the interface, and connections the interface is used for.
|
DSCP marking (trusted)
|
To use Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) markings to classify traffic, click DSCP marking (trusted). Cisco network devices such as IP phones and switches add DSCP markings to packets. Configuring DSCP on the router allows these markings to be used to classify traffic. If the Cisco IOS image on the router does not support DSCP marking, this option will not appear.
|
NBAR protocol discovery (untrusted)
|
To use Networked Based Application Recognition (NBAR) protocol discovery to classify traffic, click NBAR protocol discovery (untrusted). When an application is recognized and classified by NBAR, a network can invoke services for that specific application. NBAR ensures that network bandwidth is used efficiently by classifying packets and then applying Quality of Service (QoS) to the classified traffic. If the Cisco IOS image on the router does not support NBAR protocol discovery, this option will not appear.
|
Queuing for Outbound Traffic
In this screen, configure queuing for outbound traffic.
Field Reference
Table 29-2 describes the fields in this screen.

Description
|
Configure Shaping
|
To configure shaping for outbound traffic, click Configure Shaping.
|
Committed Information Rate
|
The Committed Information Rate (CIR) is the rate at which the interface is to transfer data. Enter the CIR in kilobits per second.
|
Bandwidth Allocation
|
Traffic Class
|
A traffic class is a specific type of traffic, such as voice traffic and routing traffic. The Cisco SDM default traffic classes and user-created traffic classes are listed in this column.
|
Bandwidth Percentage
|
To specify the bandwidth percentage for a traffic class, enter the percentage value for that class. Traffic types that depend on high transmission rates, such as voice traffic, should be given a higher percentage than traffic classes that do not need high transmission rates, such as routing traffic.
|
| |
The Cisco SDM default traffic classes are displayed with suggested values. When you change the percentage value of any traffic class, the best effort class adjusts to a higher or lower value. The total bandwidth of all classes other than best effort cannot exceed 75%.
|
Allocated Bandwidth
|
Cisco SDM displays the Allotted Bandwidth column when you configure a QoS policy for a non-VTI interface. It displays the kilobits per second allotted to the traffic class based on the CIR and the bandwidth percentage entered.
|
Add Class
|
To add a traffic class to this policy, click Add Class and enter the class information in the displayed dialog.
|
Remove
|
To remove a traffic class from this list that you have created, select the list and click Remove. Cisco SDM default classes cannot be removed.
|
Add a New Traffic Class

|
Bandwidth Percentage
|
Enter the bandwidth percentage that you want to give to the class. Cisco SDM displays a message if you enter a value that causes the total percentage value of all traffic types other than best effort to exceed 75%. If that occurs, lower the percentage value.

Optional. Enter the normal burst size in kilobits per second. The normal burst size determines how large traffic bursts can be before some traffic exceeds the CIR.
|
Excess Burst Size (BE)
|
Optional. Enter the excess burst size in kilobits per second. The excess burst size determines how large traffic bursts can be before all traffic exceeds the rate limit. Traffic that falls between the normal burst size and the excess burst size exceeds the rate limit with a probability that increases as the burst size increases.

This column lists the names of the actions that you can choose for traffic that conforms to, exceeds, or violates the configured CIR, BC, and BE parameters.
|
Action

Choose what you want the router to do when traffic conditions conform, exceed or violate configured policing parameters. The conform and the exceed actions are mandatory and have default values. The violate action is optional. The available actions are the following:
• Drop—(Default for exceed action) Discard the packet.
• None—(Available for violate action)
• Set DSCP Transmit—Set the DSCP and transmit.
• Transmit—(Default for conform action) Send the packet.
• Unsupported—Cisco SDM adds and selects this option in the following cases:
– If Cisco SDM detects that actions other than transmit, drop, or set DSCP transmit have been configured. Actions other than those are not supported.
– If Cisco SDM detects that more than one action has been configured for the same action type.
When Cisco SDM encounters either of these configurations, Unsupported is the only available action, and Cisco SDM displays a tooltip popup indicating that an unsupported policing action has been configured.
