Hello guys, could someone share more info about the introduced QoS feature (from IOS-XR 5.3.2) to support up to 7 priority levels in LLQ? RP/0/RP0/CPU0:at0f2a-r2n0-gr(config-pmap-c)#priority level ? <1-7> Priority level I was aware of only about priority levels 1-2 where level1 has higher priority than level2 but both are high priority queues. Now I am little bit confused as there is no good description of this new capability. What is the relationship between those different 7 levels now? How they behave and what is the benefit to have 7 different priority queues? How to map this to the 8Q/16Q model?   Any help would be much appreciated.   Thank you a lot. ... View more

Hello community, I have a little problem while playing with default route redistribution in my Hub and Spoke lab. Please see topology bellow: I would like to configure a default route on the London - HUB and this default route should be redistributed to spokes Manchester and Newcastle.   London - HUB config: hostname LONDON interface Loopback0 ipv4 address 4.4.4.4 255.255.255.255 ! interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0/0 ipv4 address 10.1.4.4 255.255.255.0 ! router ospf 1 router-id 4.4.4.4 default-information originate always area 0 interface Loopback0 passive enable ! interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0/0 network point-to-point ! ! !

Now what I did: 1. Advertise the default route from HUB into OSPF and send it to the PE1 neighbor - this is working PE1#show ip route vrf london Routing Table: london Codes: L - local, C - connected, S - static, R - RIP, M - mobile, B - BGP D - EIGRP, EX - EIGRP external, O - OSPF, IA - OSPF inter area N1 - OSPF NSSA external type 1, N2 - OSPF NSSA external type 2 E1 - OSPF external type 1, E2 - OSPF external type 2 i - IS-IS, su - IS-IS summary, L1 - IS-IS level-1, L2 - IS-IS level-2 ia - IS-IS inter area, * - candidate default, U - per-user static route o - ODR, P - periodic downloaded static route, H - NHRP, l - LISP a - application route + - replicated route, % - next hop override, p - overrides from PfR Gateway of last resort is 10.1.4.4 to network 0.0.0.0 O*E2 0.0.0.0/0 [110/1] via 10.1.4.4, 02:35:58, GigabitEthernet0/0 2.0.0.0/32 is subnetted, 1 subnets B 2.2.2.2 [20/2] via 10.1.2.2 (newcastle), 00:17:01, GigabitEthernet0/1 3.0.0.0/32 is subnetted, 1 subnets B 3.3.3.3 [20/2] via 10.1.3.3 (manchester), 00:17:01, GigabitEthernet0/2 4.0.0.0/32 is subnetted, 1 subnets O 4.4.4.4 [110/2] via 10.1.4.4, 02:37:11, GigabitEthernet0/0 10.0.0.0/8 is variably subnetted, 6 subnets, 2 masks B 10.1.2.0/24 is directly connected, 00:17:01, GigabitEthernet0/1 L 10.1.2.1/32 is directly connected, GigabitEthernet0/1 B 10.1.3.0/24 is directly connected, 00:17:01, GigabitEthernet0/2 L 10.1.3.1/32 is directly connected, GigabitEthernet0/2 C 10.1.4.0/24 is directly connected, GigabitEthernet0/0 L 10.1.4.1/32 is directly connected, GigabitEthernet0/0 2. Redistribute this route into BGP and create a VPNv4 prefix (with RT=65001:1) - this is also working: PE1#show bgp vpnv4 uni vrf london 0.0.0.0 BGP routing table entry for 65001:1:0.0.0.0/0, version 2 Paths: (1 available, best #1, table london) Not advertised to any peer Refresh Epoch 1 Local 10.1.4.4 (via vrf london) from 0.0.0.0 (1.1.1.1) Origin incomplete, metric 1, localpref 100, weight 32768, valid, sourced, best Extended Community: RT:65001:1 OSPF DOMAIN ID:0x0005:0x000000010200 OSPF RT:0.0.0.0:5:1 OSPF ROUTER ID:1.1.1.1:0 rx pathid: 0, tx pathid: 0x0 3. Now import this route into VRF Manchester as well as Newcastle - also working: PE1#show ip route vrf manchester 0.0.0.0 Routing Table: manchester Routing entry for 0.0.0.0/0, supernet Known via "bgp 1", distance 20, metric 1, candidate default path, type external Redistributing via ospf 3 Last update from 10.1.4.4 on GigabitEthernet0/0, 00:19:34 ago Routing Descriptor Blocks: * 10.1.4.4 (london), from 0.0.0.0, 00:19:34 ago, via GigabitEthernet0/0 Route metric is 1, traffic share count is 1 AS Hops 0 MPLS label: none PE1#show ip route vrf newcastle 0.0.0.0 Routing Table: newcastle Routing entry for 0.0.0.0/0, supernet Known via "bgp 1", distance 20, metric 1, candidate default path, type external Redistributing via ospf 2 Last update from 10.1.4.4 on GigabitEthernet0/0, 00:19:55 ago Routing Descriptor Blocks: * 10.1.4.4 (london), from 0.0.0.0, 00:19:55 ago, via GigabitEthernet0/0 Route metric is 1, traffic share count is 1 AS Hops 0 MPLS label: none 4.
