Traffic Shaping on 3550?

[jarmentrout]

Is there anyway to do traffic shaping (not policing, or limiting) on a 3550 switch?

I used the following format on 3725 router,

policy-map metroe

class voip

priority 192

class dayton

shape average 1400500

class 400staunton

priority 128

class 400dayton

priority 128

class staunton

shape average 1300500

class class-default

fair-queue

But it appears on 3550, all I have is

police Police

set Set QoS values

trust Set trust value for the class

Is there a way to do this?

Hi,

I am afraid traffic shaping isn't supported on the 3550 switches.

From the link below;

The Catalyst 3550 supports policing for both incoming and outgoing directions. Traffic shaping is not supported.

Do any other switches do this? How about a 3560?, Which model would I need to go to?

Yes, 3560 does support traffic shaping and the feature is called SRR shaping.
