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
