WAN Protocol, Virtual Interface and Queue

Folks,

I have a question here. I want to know that when we configure WAN protocols like OSPF or BGP, then can we configure virtual interface out of a single physical port? If yes then can we assign different virtual interface to different WAN protocols? If Yes then how it will effect the Queuing capability of the physical port?

Hi Sugata,

There are different type of virtual interface. Tunnel, sub-interface, loopback, null0, mlppp... Some of the virtual interface can use same physical interface. You can configure different routing protocol for each virtual interface. That will not affect the queuing on the physical interface.

As noted by Lei, the answers to your first two questions is normally yes.

In answer to your third question, it depends on what you're trying to do and the capabilities of the platform.  If you want to configured explicit QoS per logical interface, devices that allow that may "balk" at also assigning explicit QoS at the physical interface.  Also explicit QoS on the physical interface might be limited by what it "sees".  For example, physical interfaces, usually by default, will see a tunnel's outer packet as just the encapsulated packet while QoS on a tunnel "sees" the unencapsulated packet.
