Is it possible to apply Priority queue on 6509 running sup 720

carl_townshend · ‎02-01-2018

Hi All

I wanted to enable a priority queue on my 6509 for my voice traffic, however when I apply the policy map to the interface it fails.

Can anyone tell me how I can do it?

cheers

QoS on a 6500 depends much on what's installed in the chassis. Most line cards, at least those not really old, support a PQ, using the 1st Q.

How QoS is configured, and enabled, also varies per sup and line cards. Most do not use policy maps for egress queue configuration.

Hi
Have you got a typical example of how to set up the priority queue?

Hi

So one of my modules running on 6509-E WS-X6148A-GE-45AF is set like below and once the qos is put in the queues alter , so p queue is 4 and you see cos 5 for voice is in priority queue 4

A key piece of what Mark has posted is:

Transmit queues [type = 1p3q8t]:

Different line cards support QoS architectures, so you need to adjust the parameters for the differences.

To your original question about PQ, for card architectures, look for "1p" as the first term. Again, unless you're using a really old 6500 line card, a line card should support a PQ queue.
