Information
Once a unicast queue is configured as strict-priority, that particular queue, on the entire chassis, is
treated as strict-priority queue. Traffic for a strict priority is scheduled before any other queues are
serviced. For example, if you send 100% line rate traffic over the SP queue, it will starve all other
queues on the ports on which this traffic is flowing.
Policy-Based QoS Commands
Policy-based traffic classification is handled with class maps. These maps classify unicast traffic into
one of eight classes in E-Series and one of four classes in C-Series and S-Series. FTOS enables you to
match multiple class maps and specify multiple match criteria. Policy-based QoS is not supported on
logical interfaces, such as port-channels, VLANS, or loopbacks. The commands are:
• bandwidth-percentage
• bandwidth-weight
• class-map
• clear qos statistics
• description
• match ip access-group
Traffic monitor 5 Traffic coming to class 5
Traffic monitor 6 Traffic coming to class 6
Traffic monitor 7 Traffic coming to class 7
Total: yellow Total number of packets that have exceeded the configured committed rate
Total: red Total number of packets that have exceeded the configured peak rate
