Hello, I have a WS-C3850-48P.
I have an output policy-map on interface gi1/0/1 as follows:
switchname#sh policy-map QUEUES
Policy Map QUEUES
Class Multi-Media
priority
Class DataTrans
bandwidth remaining 70 (%)
Class IA-High
bandwidth remaining 15 (%)
Class class-default
bandwidth remaining 15 (%)
I have been finding that bursty traffic is causing some of my 'priority' marked traffic to drop. I was therefore going to increase the buffers via the command 'qos queue-softmax-multiplier 1200'.
Then I noticed this blurb from Cisco:
"This command would take effect only on the ports where a policy-map is attached. If configured as 1200, the softmax for non-priority queues and non-primary priority queue (!=level 1) are multiplied by 12 with their default values. **********This command is not applicable for priority queue level 1.**********"
So does, this mean that if I increase the buffers then it will not affect my priority marked traffic ? So I am wasting my time ?
Thank you kindly.
