rate-limit and service-policy commands on same interface

Hello,

 

For a reason I need to apply rate-limit output AND service-policy output command to the same GRE tunnel interface.

I wonder which one applies first...

 

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

 

why don't you put a policer in the same service policy ?

Hi,

IOS has some limitations with QoS on GRE tunnel interfaces.

Only 1 user-defined class as child service policy  which is  voice obviously can be defined and other traffic goes to parent default class.

What I need is to use service policy that has at least 2 user defined (acl based) classes of traffic + default class on a GRE tunnel interface.

 

Using the main interface of GRE tunnel for the service-policy output command and using qos pre-classify command under the tunnel interface,  does not count here. Because it has several GRE tunnels under itself. 

 

I am open to suggestions.

 

Regards.

I recall(?) the interface rate-limit takes precedence (but don't quote me). (Further recall, somewhere Cisco has a paper that documents command precedence.)

I also recall(?) on newer IOS versions, the interface commands for shape and/or rate-limit might no longer be available as either can be done via a service policy.

thanks for the answer.
