Nexus 5596 and QOS config guide

[Milan Peyrac]

Hi,

I need to implement qos on a nexus device for a client

Basically what I am trying to implement is this but on the nexus

Policy Map Enhanced_QoS_Customer_Out

      Description: Enhanced QoS customers outbound Percentages

    Class Cust_VoIP_Out

      priority 30 (%)

    Class Cust_Gold_Out

      bandwidth 30 (%)

    Class Cust_Silver_Out

      bandwidth 13 (%)

    Class Cust_Bronze_Out

      bandwidth 2 (%)

Policy Map Ethernet_QoS_Customer_Out_200Mb

    Class class-default

      Average Rate Traffic Shaping

      cir 200000000 (bps)

      service-policy Enhanced_QoS_Customer_Out

Is this possible on the nexus 5596?

I havent found much information around shaping.. Please advise if the above policy is achelievable on the nexus and if not what does the nexus support?

regards,

Hi,

I don't think the 5500 support shaping since it is mostly a layer-2 device.  Here is the config guide for QOS.

So looking over all the documentation, it doesn't look like shaping is supported anywhere, however policing is supported??

Do you think it would be possible to police the port and then create a child policy setting bandwidth per class?
