How to use other class bandwidth if its not in use in bandwidth restriction QOS configuration

[shoaib sheikh]

Hello Everyone,

I have various clients using same internet link. I am restricting bandwidth as per following configuration.

policy-map Bandwidth_restrict

class client1
police cir 12000000
conform-action transmit
exceed-action drop
violate-action drop

class client2
police cir 35000000
conform-action transmit
exceed-action drop
violate-action drop

etc.

The configuration above will always restrict client 1 to 12 Mb even if other clients are not using their respective bandwidth. I would request to please provide me the configuration so that client 1 can use other clients bandwidth if its available and not in use.

Remove the police statement and just use a bandwidth statement.

Thanks Joseph for the reply.

I tried using bandwidth command but it gave me "Bandwidth command not allowed at parent level in input direction".

policy-map Bandwidth_restrict

class client1
(config-pmap-c)#bandwidth 12000
Bandwidth command not allowed at parent level in input direction

Ah, "input direction", eh?

Devices only support bandwidth statements for egress.  Policing can be used on ingress or egress.  In this case, I believe the device doesn't support what you want to do.
