Hi Everyone,
I got a question on how actually I could put kind of nested policy-maps under an interface on a 4500x switch.
This is needed because 100Mbps link connecting 2 head office locations. The 100Mpbs is a metro ethernet link and the provider is fixing port to 100Mbps speed.
Since 4500x is not supporting 100Mbps speed on interfaces, the provider's port is connected to an intermediary switch at 100Mbps. And the 4500x is connected to intermediary switch at 1Gbps.
Hence, I need to shape to 100Mpbs out to my 4500x port. But I also need do perform queuing for traffic. The thing is nested policy-maps doesn't seem to be implemented on 4500x as in routers.
Any idea on how to workaround this? In a router world I'd do something like this:
policy-map SHAPER
class class-default
shape average 100000000
service-policy QUEUING
policy-map QUEUING
class VOICE
priority
police 5000000 conform-action transmit exceed-action drop
class INTERACTIVE
bandwidth 20000
class BULK
bandwidth 20000
class class-default
dbl
interface TenGigabitEthernet2/1/9
description TO_REMOTE_HEADOFFICE
! ...
service-policy output SHAPER
Thank you.
