3640 Output Queue Drops on class-default packets

Hi guys,

Wonder if anyone can shed some light on this.

I have a particular 3640 router which is being used to provide data and voice access for a remote site.

The WAN link is a 100meg LES circuit connected to fe2/0 this interface runs consistently at around 3meg utilisation, so not busy at all.

The router has qos configured as per the config below..

-------part config -----

Class-map match-any voiptraffic

match ip precedence 5

class-map match-any contVOIPtraffic

match ip precedence 3

!

!

policy-map voice

class voiptraffic

priority 3000

class contVOIPtraffic

bandwidth 32

class class-default

fair-queue

!

!

Interface fe2/0

description WAN LINK TO HQ

ip address x.x.x.x

speed 100

duplex full

service-policy output voice

!

Interface fa0/0

description LAN Interface Data

ip address y.y.y.y

ip policy route-map Set-IP-QOS-routine

speed 100

duplex full

!

Interface fa0/0.10

Description LAN Interface VOICE

ip address v.v.v.v

etc...

!

access-list 113 permit ip any any

!

route-map Set-IP-QOS-routine permit 30

match ip address 113

set ip precedence routine

----- end part config -----

I am seeing loads of output queue drops on interface fe2/0. If I run the "show policy-map int fa2/0" the output indicates that the router is dropping packets which are marked as routine and not dropping any of the voip packets.

Part of the output is below.

Class-map: class-default (match-any)

6035745 packets, 1097376835 bytes

5 minute offered rate 618000 bps, drop rate 24000 bps

match: any

queuing

flow based fair queuing

maximum number of hashed queues 256

(total queued/total drops/no-buffer drops) 0/331408/0

I could understand it if it was dropping voip packets but I cant see why it is dropping routine packets, the wan circuit never runs above about 3 meg so cant see how it could be link congestion and there are no other errors on the interface, just for some reason this interface is dropping uncalssified packets.

Anyone shed some light on whats happening here !

Many Thanks

Shaun

Try using bandwidth statements and shape vs. a priority queue. Remember that a priority queue will take over when matching traffic is present and allow the VoIP traffic (and will also police!).

Thanks Mark,

not sure what you mean though.

Are you saying reconfigure the box using bandwidth statements as opposed to policy maps ?

I have not done much with Qos so any pointers would be very helpfull. Is there a document I could read ?

Cheers

Shaun

Can we see a show interface f2/0, a complete show run, and a show policy-map interface F2/0.

Thanks, Mark

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the response, the details you requested are in the attachment as they were too long to post directly here.

Many Thanks
