Hierarchial QoS Config issue

jjcollaguazo

Hi all,


I'm trying to apply config via 2 methods (see attached) for the follwoing scenerio.

I have a traditional network with a single head office and multiple branches (28) connected via a carrier IPWAN. The head office bandwidth into the IPWAN cloud is policed by the carrier to 20Mb and branches have varying bandwidth provided in the range of .5 - 6Mb.


Wanting to place some QoS at my head office link with the aim to

•     Police outbound traffic to a maximum of 20Mb

•     Shape outbound traffic to branches to the speed of the link at the branch
•     Assign bandwidth to traffic classes

When applying my config via method 1 I get an error of 'Cannot attach queuing-based child policy to a non-queuing based class'.

When applying my config via method 2 I get an error of 'Insufficient bandwidth 512 kbps for bandwidth guarantee'.

Hopefully someone can take a look through this and advise if my syntax or methodology is incorrect.

I'm assuming the issue with method 2 is that my total branch bandwidths exceeds the WAN bandwidth?

Any help would be much appreciated.


My reasoning is

•That I would rather see the drops on my interface, rather than have the carrier drop my traffic,
•I do not want to flood branches with greater amounts of traffic than they can handle and have the carrier drop this at the branch PE.
•Prioritise certain traffic types

To get my polciy to work i've tried a different config on my lab. Attached is method (2a) where I’ve applied the same child polices as method 1 but I’ve done the shaping on the middle child policy. To overcome an error I was getting ‘Insufficient bandwidth to meet bandwidth guarantees’

I increased the parent policy-map to shape at 40MB and set the bandwidth on the WAN to 40MB. Would there be any major issue with this method implemented?
