mls qos srr-queue input buffers & mls qos srr-queue input bandwidth and MQC policy-map difference

what is the function of mls qos srr-queue input buffers and mls qos srr-queue input bandwidth command? doesn't it do same thing?

what is the difference between bandwidth assigned using mls qos srr-queue command and bandwidth assigned using MQC policy-map? does bandwidth assignment for both need to be same?

The buffer allocation together with the bandwidth allocation control how much data can be buffered and sent before packets are dropped.

when its used with ingress though it can only be set as shared by default when bandwidth is used on egress it can be set as limit shape or share

Layer 2 and layer 3 , srr is for the actual port/interface and its specific queues per hardware based on that port while MQC is for the whole class and everything in it , whether based on access-list or match statements , subnets etc anything that you put under the class and specify the BW statement will be effected by it

The bandwidth command provides a minimum bandwidth guarantee during congestion. There are three forms of the command syntax, as illustrated in this table:

Command Syntax Description
bandwidth {kbps}
Specifies bandwidth allocation as a bit rate.
bandwidth percent {value}
Specifies bandwidth allocation as a percentage of the underlying link rate.
bandwidth remaining percent {value}
Specifies bandwidth allocation as a percentage of the bandwidth that has not been allocated to other classes.

Thanks.

following switch doesn't have priority queue:

WS-C3560-24TS-S     :   rx-(not configurable on per port basis),tx-(4q2t)

if I reserve, prioritize bandwidth for voice traffic using policy-map than is the traffic going to be prioritized over other traffic in case of congestion? or is voice traffic going to have issue because there is no "Priority" queue?

responded to this in your other post , you need to enable MLS for the P queue
