Hi
I have a new dual site setup with 6880s at the core at one side and 3650 stack at the other. We have a 200mbps ethernet solution from our service provider but on testing we are maxing at a bit over 100mbps, iperf tests directly on the link are giving 200mbps so I need to apply some shaping to get the full usage from the link. In the past I have used srr bandwidth on metro switches but the 6880s don't support this. So I assume I need to setup policy maps and apply to the physical interface? The interfaces are layer 2 trunks and we are stretching vlans between the sites. E.g. siteA has vlan20 and site B has vlan 20 over the metro ethernet service, site b is layer2 only and all routing and services are provided at siteA
Is it as simple as this? It seems too easy :) So I may be missing something. I just apply this on the physical interface at each side?
policy-map POLICY-S2S-200MB
class class-default
shape average 204800000
policy-map POLICY-S2S-200MB-IN
class class-default
police cir 204800000
conform-action transmit
exceed-action drop
~
int gi1/1/1
service-policy out POLICY-S2S-200MB-OUT out
service-policy out POLICY-S2S-200MB-IN in
Your input would due treaty appreciated!
Thanks,
Aidan.

got the interface bit wrong:
int gi1/1/1
service-policy out POLICY-S2S-200MB-OUT
service-policy in POLICY-S2S-200MB-IN

Any other opinions on this?
I was also thinking I could just apply generic shaping on the itherface?

Hmm, you may find the 6880 doesn't support shaping.

It seems shaping is supported:

Ah, well that's great! (Hmm, now I wonder if same feature is available on 6500 with sup2T or 6807.)
In that case, your output policy might be just as simple as what's in your OP. Cisco isn't really clear whether all their shapers (or policers) are counting L2 and L3 or just L3. I suspect many just count L3. If that's true in this case, you may need to shape about 10 to 15% slower to allow for L2 overhead (this assuming your provider is providing 200 Mbps of "wire" bandwidth.
If you're able to shape on the other side, then there should be no need to also police the ingress. Also, assuming provider limits bandwidth, there's no reason to police ingress at CIR rate.

I know this will work on a L3 interface, the question really is will this work on an L2 trunk??

I got this working in the end in case anyone comes across the question:

Hi there. Did you apply this on a routed interface or switchport? Also can you tell if I can do LLQ with it too? Need to test it in lab but need to find time. Thanks!
