Prerequisites for Policy-Based Queueing

None.

Restrictions for Policy-Based Queueing

  • Ports on the WS-X6904-40G-2T switching modules can be configured with two priority queues (2p6q4t). Priority queue 1 has higher priority than priority queue 2.
  • The WS-X6904-40G-2T egress queues support QoS shaping.

blank.gif Shaping buffers traffic that exceeds the total egress port bandwidth. You can configure shaping on the egress queues and for egress traffic on the port.

blank.gif You configure shaping as a percentage of the total egress port bandwidth.

blank.gif Shaping can be configured only on the egress queues of WS-X6904-40G-2T ports. You cannot configure shaping on a port-channel interface.

blank.gif Ports with shaping configured can be members of an EtherChannel, but shaping can cause the egress traffic rate to vary significantly and cause significant differences between the member ports.

blank.gif You configure shaping with the shape average percent command. The show running-configuration command displays the shape average percent command, but the show policy-map type lan-queuing command displays the shaping configuration with the cir percentage command under the heading “Average Rate Traffic Shaping” heading.

See the “Configuring Policy-Based Queueing on WS-X6904-40G-2T Ports” section.

  • DSCP-based queueing is supported on 8q4t, 1p7q2t, 2p6q4t, and 1p7q4t ports. The Supervisor Engine 2T-10GE ports are 8q4t/1p7q4t with the platform qos 10g-only global configuration command configured, which disables the Gigabit Ethernet ports on the supervisor engine.
  • The presence of a match dscp command or a match precedence command in a class map that is used in a queueing policy attached to a port enables DSCP-based queueing on the port in the direction that the queueing policy is attached.
  • CoS-based queueing is always used for non-IP traffic, IP multicast traffic, and IP unknown unicast flood traffic.
  • Class maps that are used in queueing policies can contain any combination and number of match dscp, match precedence, or match cos commands.
  • You can attach one input and one output queueing policy to an interface, in addition to policies that configure marking or policing. To support per-queue shaping on WS-X6904-40G-2T egress nonprioritynonpriority queues, the output queueing policy on WS-X6904-40G-2T port egress queues supports child policies.
  • To support migration from Cisco IOS Release 12.2SX configurations, Cisco IOS Release 15.4SY supports global configuration mode and interface configuration mode queueing commands.

blank.gif When you attach an ingress or egress queueing policy to a port, all interface configuration mode queueing commands on the port are deleted.

blank.gif An attached ingress or egress queueing policy supercedes the effect of any configured global configuration mode queueing commands.

blank.gif If you attach a queueing policy in only one direction, the queueing configuration of the other direction is either the defaults or is defined by any configured global configuration mode queueing commands.

blank.gif You cannot configure any interface configuration mode queueing commands on a port that has a queueing policy attached.

  • Policy-based queueing is supported on all modules that Cisco IOS Release 15.4SY supports with the Supervisor Engine 2T-10GE.
  • Queueing policies are specific to particular port types because a queueing policy cannot contain any commands that are not supported by the port to which it will be attached (see the “Configuration Examples for Policy-Based Queueing” section). Commands not supported on a port are not ignored. You cannot successfully apply a policy with unsupported commands to a port.
  • For clarity, configure queueing policy names that correspond to the port type it supports; for example 1q2t_1q8t_ingress.
  • Queueing policies can contain multiple class maps; each class map configures a queue.
  • A policy-map class defined by a class command that uses a class map and that contains the policy-map class priority command configures the priority queue. (The priority queue is the highest-numbered queue.) The class-map filters the QoS values (CoS or DSCP) it is configured with to the priority queue.
  • Enabling SRR on a port disables the priority queue.
  • A policy-map class defined by a class command that uses a class map and that does not contain the policy-map class priority command configures the highest-numbered nonpriority queue. (If the port has a priority queue, the highest-numbered nonpriority queue is numbered one less than the priority queue. If the port does not have a priority queue, the highest-numbered queue is a nonpriority queue.) Subsequent such commands define the configuration of the remaining nonpriority queues in reverse numerical order. You cannot skip a queue, but configuration of all queues is not required. The class-map filters the QoS values it is configured with to the nonpriority queue being configured.
  • A class command that uses the class-default keywords configures queue 1. The class-default keywords filter all remaining QoS values to queue 1.
  • For each nonpriority queue, policy-map class queue-buffers or random-detect commands assign QoS values (CoS or DSCP) to thresholds within a queue. Thresholds are configured in numerical order. You cannot skip a threshold, but configuration of all threshold is not required. QoS values that are to be applied to the thresholds must be from the group of values that the class-map filters to the queue.

blank.gif The first queue-buffers or random-detect command assigns QoS values to the first threshold, and configures the percentage value applied to it.

blank.gif Subsequent queue-buffers or random-detect commands that are configured with the same percentage value assign additional QoS values to the first threshold.

blank.gif The next queue-buffers or random-detect command that is configured with a different percentage value assigns QoS values to the numerically next threshold, and configures the percentage value applied to it.

blank.gif Subsequent queue-buffers or random-detect commands that are configured with the same percentage value assign additional QoS values to the numerically next threshold.

blank.gif Each queue-buffers or random-detect command with a different percentage defines the next unconfigured threshold and any subsequent commands that repeat a percentage value assign additional QoS values to a configured threshold.

blank.gif All unconfigured thresholds are at 100%.

blank.gif All unassigned QoS labels are assigned to the highest-numbered threshold.

Port-Based Queue Types

Ingress and Egress Buffers and Queues

note.gif

Noteblank.gif The WS-X6904-40G-2T egress queues support QoS shaping.


The Ethernet port ASICs have buffers that are divided into a fixed number of queues. When congestion avoidance is enabled, PFC QoS uses the traffic’s Layer 2 CoS value or, on some port types, the Layer 3 DSCP values, to assign traffic to the queues. The buffers and queues store frames temporarily as they transit the switch. PFC QoS allocates the port ASIC memory as buffers for each queue on each port.

The Ethernet ports support the following types of queues:

  • Nonpriority queues
  • Priority queues

The Ethernet ports support the following types of scheduling algorithms between queues:

  • Shaped round robin (SRR)—SRR allows a queue to use only the allocated bandwidth.
  • Deficit weighted round robin (DWRR)—DWRR keeps track of any lower-priority queue under-transmission caused by traffic in a higher-priority queue and compensates in the next round.
  • Weighted Round Robin (WRR)—WRR does not explicitly reserve bandwidth for the queues. Instead, the amount of bandwidth assigned to each queue is user configurable. The percentage or weight allocated to a queue defines the amount of bandwidth allocated to the queue.
  • Priority queueing—Strict priority queueing allows delay-sensitive data such as voice to be dequeued and sent before packets in other queues are dequeued, giving delay-sensitive data preferential treatment over other traffic. The switch services traffic in the strict-priority transmit queue before servicing the nonpriority queues. After transmitting a packet from a nonpriority queue, the switch checks for traffic in the strict-priority queue. If the switch detects traffic in the strict-priority queue, it suspends its service of the nonpriority queue and completes service of all traffic in the strict-priority queue before returning to the nonpriority queue.

The Ethernet ports provide congestion avoidance with these types of thresholds within a queue:

  • Weighted Random Early Detection (WRED)—On ports with WRED drop thresholds, frames with a given QoS label are admitted to the queue based on a random probability designed to avoid buffer congestion. The probability of a frame with a given QoS label being admitted to the queue or discarded depends on the weight and threshold assigned to that QoS label.

For example, if CoS 2 is assigned to queue 1, threshold 2, and the threshold 2 levels are 40 percent (low) and 80 percent (high), then frames with CoS 2 will not be dropped until queue 1 is at least 40 percent full. As the queue depth approaches 80 percent, frames with CoS 2 have an increasingly higher probability of being discarded rather than being admitted to the queue. Once the queue is over 80 percent full, all CoS 2 frames are dropped until the queue is less than 80 percent full. The frames the switch discards when the queue level is between the low and high thresholds are picked out at random, rather than on a per-flow basis or in a FIFO manner. This method works well with protocols such as TCP that can adjust to periodic packet drops by backing off and adjusting their transmission window size.

  • Tail-drop thresholds—On ports with tail-drop thresholds, frames with a given QoS label are admitted to the queue until the drop threshold associated with that QoS label is exceeded; subsequent frames of that QoS label are discarded until the threshold is no longer exceeded. For example, if CoS 1 is assigned to queue 1, threshold 2, and the threshold 2 watermark is 60 percent, then frames with CoS 1 will not be dropped until queue 1 is 60 percent full. All subsequent CoS 1 frames will be dropped until the queue is less than 60 percent full. With some port types, you can configure the nonpriority receive queue to use both a tail-drop and a WRED-drop threshold by mapping a CoS value to the queue or to the queue and a threshold. The switch uses the tail-drop threshold for traffic carrying CoS values mapped only to the queue. The switch uses WRED-drop thresholds for traffic carrying CoS values mapped to the queue and a threshold. All LAN ports of the same type use the same drop-threshold configuration.
note.gif

Noteblank.gif You can enable DSCP-based queues and thresholds on 8q4t, 1p7q2t, and 1p7q4t ports (see the “Module to Queue Type Mappings” section), either in a queueing policy or with legacy interface commands (see the “Legacy Configuration Procedures for DSCP-Based Queue Mapping” section).

  • DSCP-based queueing is supported on 8q4t, 1p7q2t, and 1p7q4t ports. The Supervisor Engine 2T-10GE ports are 8q4t/1p7q4t with the platform qos 10g-only global configuration command configured. To configure DSCP-based queue mapping on Supervisor Engine 2T ports, you must enter shutdown interface configuration mode commands for the Supervisor Engine 2T Gigabit Ethernet ports, and then enter the platform qos 10g-only global configuration command, which disables the Gigabit Ethernet ports on the Supervisor Engine 2T.


 

The switch provides congestion avoidance with the combination of multiple queues and the scheduling algorithms associated with each queue.

Queueing Policies

Queueing policies use class-maps with match commands (see Table 66-5 ) and policy maps with scheduling and congestion management commands (see Table 66-6 ).

 

Table 66-5 Queueing Policy Class Map match Commands and Match Criteria

match Commands
Match Criteria

match cos cos_list

CoS values.

match dscp dscp_list

DSCP values.

match precedence precedence_list

Precedence values.

Note

  • The presence of a match dscp command or a match precedence command in a class map that is used in a queueing policy attached to a port configures DSCP-based queueing in the direction of the policy (ingress or egress) on that port.
  • CoS-based queueing is always used for non-IP traffic, IP multicast traffic, and IP unknown unicast flood traffic.
  • Class maps that are used in queueing policies can contain both match dscp commands and match cos commands.

How to Configure Policy-Based Queueing

note.gif

Noteblank.gif See the “Configuration Examples for Policy-Based Queueing” section for detailed information about which queueing commands are supported by each queue type.


Configuring a Queueing Policy Class Map

To configure a queueing policy class map, perform this task:

 

Command
Purpose

Step 1

Router(config)# class-map type lan-queuing match-any class_name

Creates a class map. Create a class map for the thresholds on each type of queue that you are configuring. Give the class map a name that allows you to easily associate it with the queue type and threshold for which you configure it.

Step 2

Router (config-cmap)# match cos cos_value1 [ cos_value2... [ cos_valueN ]]

(Optional) Configures the queueing policy class map to filter based on CoS values. You can enter multiple commands.

Step 3

Router (config-cmap)# match dscp dscp_value1 [ dscp_value2... [ dscp_valueN ]]

(Optional) Configures the queueing policy class map to filter based on DSCP values and enables DSCP-based queueing on the port in the direction that the queueing policy is attached. You can enter multiple commands.

Step 4

Router (config-cmap)# match precedence precedence_value1 [ precedence_value2... [ precedence_valueN ]]

(Optional) Configures the queueing policy class map to filter based on precedence values and enables DSCP-based queueing on the port in the direction that the queueing policy is attached. You can enter multiple commands.

Step 5

Router (config-cmap)# end

Exits configuration mode.

This example shows how to create a class map named cos5 and how to configure filtering to match traffic with CoS 5:

Router# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)# class-map cos5
Router(config-cmap)# match cos 5
Router(config-cmap)# end

Verifying a Queueing Policy Class Map

To verify the queueing policy class map, perform this task:

 

Command
Purpose

Router# show class-map class_name

Verifies the configuration.

Configuring Queueing Policy Maps

note.gif

Noteblank.gif You can attach one input queueing policy map and one output queueing policy map to an interface.

  • Queueing policy maps contain one policy-map class for each queue.
  • Each policy-map class configures a queue.


 

Configuring Policy-Based Queueing on WS-X6904-40G-2T Ports

note.gif

Note Use the procedures in these sections to configure the WS-X6904-40G-2T nonpriority ingress queues and single priority queues (ingress or egress) without shaping:

Configure thresholds as described in the “Configuring Thresholds” section.


 

Configuring WS-X6904-40G-2T Nonpriority Egress Queue Shaping (Except class-default)

The first class class_map_name command that you enter configures the highest numbered nonpriority queue. Subsequent class class_map_name commands configure the remaining nonpriority queues in reverse numerical order (highest-numbered to queue #2). To configure shaping on a nonpriority egress queue, perform this task:

 

Command
Purpose

Step 1

Router(config)# policy-map type lan-queuing child_policy_name

Creates a child policy map for the nonpriority queues.

Step 2

Router(config-pmap)# class class_map_name

Creates a policy map class for a nonpriority egress queue numbered greater than one.

Step 3

Router(config-pmap-c)# bandwidth remaining percent percentage

Allocates DWRR bandwidth.

Step 4

Router(config-pmap-c)# shape average percent percentage

Configures shaping.

Step 5

Router(config-pmap-c)# queue-buffers ratio weight

(Optional) Sets queue buffer size.

Step 6

Router(config-pmap-c)# end

(Optional) Exits policy map class configuration mode.

Configuring WS-X6904-40G-2T Multiple Priority Queues or Egress Priority-Queue Shaping

To enable the WS-X6904-40G-2T 2p6q4t port architecture (two priority queues) or to configure egress priority-queue shaping, perform this task:

 

Command
Purpose

Step 1

Router(config-pmap)# class class_map_name

Creates a policy map class.

Step 2

Router(config-pmap-c)# priority level { 1 | 2 } [ percent percentage ]

Applies the class map to one of the priority queues. Priority queue 1 has higher priority than priority queue 2.

Optionally, for egress queues, configures shaping.

Step 3

Router(config-pmap-c)# queue-buffers ratio weight

(Optional) Sets queue buffer size.

Step 4

Router(config-pmap-c)# end

(Optional) Exits policy map class configuration mode.

Configuring WS-X6904-40G-2T Class-Default Egress Shaping

The class class-default command configures queue #1. To configure class-default egress shaping, perform this task:

 

Command
Purpose

Step 1

Router(config)# policy-map type lan-queuing parent_policy_name

Creates the parent policy map for the port.

Step 2

Router(config-pmap)# class class-default

Configures the class-default policy map class.

Step 3

Router(config-pmap-c)# bandwidth remaining percent percentage

Allocates DWRR bandwidth.

Step 4

Router(config-pmap-c)# shape average percent percentage

Configures shaping.

Step 5

Router(config-pmap-c)# queue-buffers ratio weight

(Optional) Sets queue buffer size.

Step 6

Router(config-pmap-c)# service-policy child_service_policy

Required to support shaping on WS-X6904-40G-2T nonpriority egress queues numbered greater than one. (Not supported with class-default.)

Step 7

Router(config-pmap-c)# end

(Optional) Exits policy map class configuration mode.

Creating a Queueing Policy

To create a queueing policy, perform this task:

 

Command
Purpose

Step 1

Router(config)# policy-map type lan-queuing policy_name

Creates a policy map.

Step 2

Router(config-pmap)# end

(Optional) Exits policy map class configuration mode.

Configuring a Priority Queue

1p1q4t,1p1q8t,1p7q2t,1p3q8t, 1p7q8t, and 1p7q4t ports have priority queues. To configure the priority queue, perform this task:

 

Command
Purpose

Step 1

Router(config-pmap)# class class_map_name

Creates a policy map class.

Step 2

Router(config-pmap-c)# priority

Applies the class map to the priority queue.

Note The priority queue is not supported if SRR is enabled.

Step 3

Router(config-pmap-c)# queue-buffers ratio weight

(Optional) Sets queue buffer size.

Step 4

Router(config-pmap-c)# end

(Optional) Exits policy map class configuration mode.

Configuring Nonpriority Queues

The first class class_map_name command that you enter that is not followed by the priority keyword configures the highest numbered nonpriority queue. Subsequent class class_map_name commands configure the remaining nonpriority queues in reverse numerical order (highest-numbered to queue #2). The class class-default command configures queue #1. To configure a nonpriority queue, perform this task:

 

Command
Purpose

Step 1

Router(config-pmap)# class { class_map_name | class-default }

Creates a policy map class.

Note

  • Enter a class map name to configure nonpriority queues numbered greater than one.
  • Enter the class-default keyword to configure queue #1.

Step 2

Router(config-pmap-c)# bandwidth [ remaining ] percent percentage

Allocates WRR or DWRR bandwidth.

Note

  • On WS-X6904-40G-2T ports, the bandwidth command must be configured if you configure any nondefault values for any other queueing commands on the port. ( CSCtz05347)
  • Not required on ports that have one queue.
  • The remaining keyword is required on ports that have a priority queue.

Step 3

Router(config-pmap-c)# shape average percent percentage

(Egress queues only) Enables SRR (not supported on WS-X6904-40G-2T ports), which allocates limited bandwidth between nonpriority egress queues.

Step 4

Router(config-pmap-c)# queue-buffers ratio weight

(Optional) Sets queue buffer size.

Note Not required on ports that have one queue.

(Optional) Exits policy map class configuration mode.

Configuring Thresholds

Threshold Configuration Guidelines and Restrictions

  • To configure tail drop thresholds, enter queue-limit commands.
  • For ports that support configuration as either tail-drop or WRED drop:

blank.gif Enter queue-limit commands to configure a threshold as tail drop.

blank.gif Enter random-detect commands to configure a threshold as WRED drop.

  • The first queue-limit cos, queue-limit dscp, random-detect cos, or random-detect dscp command that you enter configures threshold #1.
  • Subsequent commands with different threshold percentage values configure the remaining thresholds in numerical order (from threshold #2 to the highest-numbered threshold).
  • Subsequent commands with an already configured threshold percentage value apply addition QoS values to the threshold indicated by the percentage value.
  • Ports configured for DSCP-based queueing use CoS-based queueing for non-IP traffic, IP multicast traffic, and IP unknown unicast flood traffic. In queueing policies that configure DSCP-based queueing, configure CoS-based queueing to provide specific QoS for non-IP traffic, IP multicast traffic, and IP unknown unicast flood traffic.

Configuring a Threshold as Tail-Drop with CoS-Based Queueing

To configure a threshold as tail-drop with CoS-based queueing, perform this task:

 

Command
Purpose

Step 1

Router(config-pmap-c)# queue-limit cos { one_value | values value_list} percent percentage

Applies CoS to a tail-drop threshold and configures the threshold percentage.

Step 2

Router(config-pmap-c)# end

(Optional) Exits policy map class configuration mode.

Configuring a Threshold as WRED-Drop with CoS-Based Queueing

To configure a threshold as WRED-drop with CoS-based queueing, perform this task:

 

Command
Purpose

Step 1

Router(config-pmap-c)# random-detect cos-based [ aggregate ]

Enables application of CoS values to a WRED-drop threshold. Enter the aggregate keyword to configure multiple CoS values on the threshold with the values keyword.

Step 2

Router(config-pmap-c)# random-detect cos { one_value | values value_list} percent min_% max_%

Applies CoS to a WRED-drop threshold and configures the threshold percentage.

Step 3

Router(config-pmap-c)# end

(Optional) Exits policy map class configuration mode.

Configuring a Threshold as Tail-Drop with DSCP-Based Queueing

To configure a threshold as tail-drop with DSCP-based queueing, perform this task:

 

Command
Purpose

Step 1

Router(config-pmap-c)# queue-limit multiple-type-based

(Optional) Enables application of CoS, DSCP, or precedence values to a tail-drop threshold.

Step 2

Router(config-pmap-c)# queue-limit { cos | dscp | precedence } { one_value | values value_list} percent percentage

Applies QoS values to a tail-drop threshold and configures the threshold percentage.

Step 3

Router(config-pmap-c)# end

(Optional) Exits policy map class configuration mode.

Configuring a Threshold as WRED-Drop with DSCP-Based Queueing

To configure a threshold as WRED-drop with DSCP-based queueing, perform this task:

 

Command
Purpose

Step 1

Router(config-pmap-c)# random-detect { dscp-based | precedence-based | multiple-type-based } [ aggregate ]

Enables application of QoS values to a WRED-drop threshold.

Note

  • Enter the dscp-based keyword to enable application of DSCP values to a WRED-drop threshold.
  • Enter the precedence-based keyword to enable application of precedence values to a WRED-drop threshold.
  • Enter the multiple-type-based keyword to enable application of both CoS, DSCP, or precedence values to a WRED-drop threshold.
  • Enter the aggregate keyword to configure multiple QoS values on the threshold with the values keyword.

Step 2

Router(config-pmap-c)# random-detect { cos | dscp | precedence } { one_value | values value_list} percent min_% max_%

Applies QoS values to a WRED-drop threshold and configures the threshold percentage.

Step 3

Router(config-pmap-c)# end

(Optional) Exits policy map class configuration mode.

Verifying a Queueing Policy Map

Use the show policy-map policy_name to verify the configuration.

Attaching a Queueing Policy Map to an Interface

To attach a queueing policy to an interface, perform this task:

 

Command
Purpose

Step 1

Router(config)# interface type slot/port

Selects the interface to configure.

Step 2

Router(config-if)# service-policy type lan-queuing [ input | output ] policy_map_name

Attaches a queueing policy to the interface.

Step 3

Router(config-if)# end

Exits configuration mode.

Use the show policy-map interface command to verify the configuration.

Queuing on FEX

QoS on FEX host ports is enabled by default with default queuing configuration. Queuing on FEX provides the facility to configure your own queuing model on FEX ports. Queuing is supported in the egress direction only. The queueing features are configurable through the lan-queueing policies and do not support any legacy queuing commands. Priority queue configuration is optional. Queueing on FEX is supported in DSCP mode is only. When applied to an interface the configuration will be propagated to all the interfaces of a member FEX, in case of a stack.

DoD certification mandates the queuing configuration for supported features. These features are as follows:

  • Priority queuing
  • Queue bandwidth
  • DSCP to queue map
  • Queue buffer

Priority Queuing

This example shows how to configure priority queuing:

Router# show policy-map type lan-queuing ltest
Policy Map type lan-queuing ltest
Class ltest
bandwidth remaining 10 (%)
Class ltest1
priority
Class class-default

Queue Bandwidth

This example shows how to configure queue bandwidth percentage:

Router# show policy-map type lan-queuing ltest
Policy Map type lan-queuing ltest
Class ltest
bandwidth remaining 10 (%)
Average Rate Traffic Shaping
cir 30%
Class ltest1
priority
Class class-default
*Dec 15 08:39:42.535: 020: 00 00 00 64 00 04 01 64 00 00 00 64 00 05 01 64...d...d...d...d
*Dec 15 08:39:42.535: 030: 00 00 00 64

DSCP to Queue Map

The ability to map a DSCP to a particular queue is provided.

Queue Buffer

This example shows how to configure buffer per queue:

Router# show policy-map type lan-queuing ltest
Policy Map type lan-queuing ltest
Class ltest
bandwidth remaining 10 (%)
queue-buffers ratio 30
Class ltest1
priority
queue-buffers ratio 40
Class class-default
