CBWFQ / Metro E Configuration Question

Sam Oesterling
Beginner

Hello all -

I have a 50 Mbps metro ethernet connection between our main office, and our collocation site, where we store web servers, DR equipment and VPN access gateways.  I have two Cisco 3845 ISR's connected to the metro E circuit.  The interfaces on each router are configured as 100/full as requested by my ISP.  We are connected via ethernet to a fiber media converter.

As I understand, CBFWQ will not kick in until congestion occurs on an interface.  I also understand that the bandwidth command on an interface is to provide bandwidth related information to upper level protocols (like EIGRP, etc).

My question is that since the interface where I have CBWFQ configured on is at 100 Mbps, but my circuit is at 50Mbps, how can I get my routers to kick CBWFQ in when traffic demand exceeds 50Mbps+?  Does the bandwidth command on the interface control that as well?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Brantley
