Bandwidth limit on 2811 Router fastethernet interfaces

[mandavikas]

Hello Everyone,

I'm a newbie in Cisco world.

I have a task of setting up bandwidth limit on the 2811 router Fastethernet interfaces.

The scenario is:

We have a 4MB Internet connection and would like to allocate bandwidth usage to users.

Fastethernet 0/0 needs to be set with 256KB output and 2048 input. This is going to be connected to a wireless router.

Fastethernet 0/1 needs to be configured with 2048 output.

Please provide step by step configuration on how to achieve this.

I could also use SDM if that's easier than using CLI.

Waiting to hear from you all.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

You can try something like this:

policy-map test
 class class-default
  fair-queue
  shape average 256000
!
interface fa0/0
 service-policy output test




policy-map test1
 class class-default
  fair-queue
  shape average 2000000
!
interface fa0/1
 service-policy output test1

Reza,

Thanks for your response!

I have tried this in packet tracer and it worked fine. I will try this configuration and deploy it in production tomorrow and let you know the results of it.

However, I would like to know if this is the same way we set bandwidth limit coming from ISP through our router to the hosts in the network?

I've tried the following and I get a

CBWFQ : Can be enabled as an output feature only

Router(config)#policy-map test

Router(config-pmap)#class class-default

Router(config-pmap-c)#fair-queue

Router(config-pmap-c)#shape average 2000000

Router(config-pmap-c)#exit

Router(config-if)#service-policy input test

CBWFQ : Can be enabled as an output feature only

If I were to split the bandwidth on one interface to two groups:

Wireless users 256KB

Administration users 2048MB

How can this be acheived? Please provide step by step configuration and also some explanation will be very helpful.

Thanks a lot once again!
