CBWFQ with GRE Tunnel

hi all,

recently my company has developed network with GRE Tunnel. But when I try to add qos feature using class based weighted fair queue, the router refuse and tell that CBWFQ is not supported in interface tunnel. is there a way for interface tunnel for using qos feature

Thx in advance

Easy,

Review this link, you must create a child policy. Got it to work on one of my remote site that use VOIP. It solved my voice quality issue.

Policing

When an interface becomes congested and packets start to queue, you can apply a queuing method to packets waiting to be transmitted. Cisco IOS logical interfaces do not inherently support a state of congestion and do not support the direct application of a service policy that applies a queuing method. Instead, you need to apply a hierarchical policy as follows:

Create a "child" or lower-level policy that configures a queueing mechanism, such as low latency queueing with the priority command and class-based weighted fair queueing (CBWFQ) with the bandwidth command. See Congestion Management for more information.

policy-map child

class voice

priority 512Create a "parent" or top-level policy that applies class-based shaping. Apply the child policy as a command under the parent policy since admission control for the child class is done based on the shaping rate for the parent class.

policy-map tunnel

class class-default

shape average 2000000

service-policy child Apply the parent policy to the tunnel interface.

interface tunnel0

service-policy tunnelThe router prints the following log message when a tunnel interface is configured with a service policy that applies queuing without shaping.

router(config)# interface tunnel1

router(config-if)# service-policy output child

Class Based Weighted Fair Queueing not supported on this interfaceTunnel interfaces also support class-based policing, but they do not support committed access rate (CAR).

Note: Service Policies are not supported on tunnel interfaces on 7500.

also a cisco guru told me it is not advised to configure cbwfq on tunnel interfaces when you have a lot of tunnels, 30 will kill the cpu, so you should put it on the physical interface

hi all,

Thx for the solution I very appreciate it.

eclaereboudt, you told me to configure cbwfq in the physical interface, I have already did that, but it didn't make an effect, because when I tried in serial interface the packet have already encapsulated with GRE header, so the serial can't see the ToS field or DSCP. But you're right having a lot of tunell running cbwfq will kill the cpu, so there must be a way running service-policy in physical interface
