NBAR Implmentation on 3550 Citrix performance

Hi,

I was wondering if the 3550 Switch Supported Nbar. I doesn't look like it but I really need it to see why our citrix servers clients are not getting lags.

I have a 3350 with 4 vlans routed through a 10 MB Wan ethernety link provided by the ISP.

The latency is 29 ms which way within Citrix client parameters. I checked and setup tested the mtu size with citrix servers and changed the clients to mtu size of 1000. Which does not fragment.

Any information would helpfull.

Thanks

Raj

Hi Raj ,

3550 doesn't support NBAr feature due to the hardware limitation.

Additinal Info:

One of the limitations on the Cat3550 is that "The only match criterion in a policy map that can be attached to an egress

interface is the match ip dscp dscp-list class-map configuration command":

http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/lan/c3550/12225see/cr/cli1.htm#wp1864211

Also, "You cannot use the service-policy interface configuration command to attach policy maps that contain these elements to an egress interface:

*set or trust policy-map class configuration commands. Instead, you can use the police policy-map class configuration command to mark down (reduce) the DSCP value at the egress interface.

*Access control list (ACL) classification.

*Per-port per-VLAN classification.":

Last, not least, LLQ is not supported on the Cat3550 platform.

Here are some useful links regarding the QoS options on the Cat3550 platform:

Hope it helps you.

Thank you. This really helps.

If the wan is a ethernet link you should check with the provider to see if the link will run 10/full if it is currently running 10/half . A 10/half link will start to see degradation at any levels above about 30-35% utilization .
