DMVPN tunnel bandwidth

jopetik09
Level 1
Level 1

Hi All,


I have Cisco 1921, 10 MB internet link terminated and have DMVPN tunnels to our DC.
When I observed the tunnel details, found that the Tunnel transmit bandwidth 8000 (kbps). Does this mean that the tunnel can trans/received max 8 Mbps only?

I tried to change the tunnel bandwidth but not option under the tunnel to configure.
Is there any other alternative to do this change?
Shall I upgrade the IOS inorder to get the commands available?

The tunnel Bandwidth of 8Mbps is used by routing protocols to calculate the metrics and for QOS parameters. So this will not affect the actual data traffic flow . It is recommended to set the bandwidth to be equal to that of the physical link using the

bandwidth 

command under the tunnel interface.

Hi Jopeti,

 

As said above, the bandwidth tranceive what you are seeing in tunnel interface details is not effect to main data flow.

The actual bandwidth of physical link will be used for the main data flow.


So in your case I would suggest you to sent the bandwidth under your tunnel interface as like below as you have 10 Mbps main physical link.


interface Tunnel10
bandwidth 10000

The actual bandwidth is depending on the physical interface of the tunnel

Try to use the command

 bandwidth

under the tunnel interface which useful for qos polices config only to be referenced

 

Hope this help
