Policy map QoS Issues

gregwoodson
Level 1
Level 1

I have the following policy maps in on my 6509:

policy-map Customer    

  class QoS-voice

    shape average 2000000

  class class-default

    fair-queue

When I apply it to an interface (int vlan1005)- I get:

Router (config-if)#service-policy output Customer

shape average command is not supported for this interface

Configuration failed!

This also happens with priority, bandwidth, etc.  How can I configure QoS on this 6509 then?

Hi,

apply it to physical or subinterface.

Regards.

Alain.

Don't forget to rate helpful posts.

It cannot be applied to the physical/subinterface.  The connection comes in on another switch.

Shaping is only supported on a very limited set of WAN interfaces for the 6500 switch so even if you applied it to the physical interface, unless it was one of these specific WAN interfaces, it wouldn't be accepted.

If you are trying to apply this policy to a standard linecard in the 6500 then it won't work because the 6500 uses PFC QOS and not MQC. You will need to convert it to PFC QOS. The 6500 does support egress policing so you could use that although obviously policing can be more disruptive to traffic than shaping but that's all you can really do if you want to rate-limit the traffic.

An alternative would be to actually configure the physical port with PFC QOS and use the strict priority queue for the VOIP traffic.

See this link for the 6500 QOS details (there are some examples at the end of the chapter) -

Have a 6509 module WS-X6748-SFP with DFC3 that needs priority queueing for egress traffic over Gigaman links in a MAN.  I'm more a fan of software queueing, than hardware queueing.  But I'm not finding any documentation about egress policy-maps for this.  The best information that I've found, so far, states that this module supports 1P3Q8T hardware queueing and gives a good  configuration example using WRED and CoS mappings.  Is this the only option I have?
