Quality of Service

This chapter describes Arista’s Quality of Service (QoS) implementation, including configuration instructions and command descriptions. Topics covered by this chapter include:

Quality of Service Conceptual Overview

QoS processes apply to traffic that flows through Ethernet ports and control planes. These processes can modify data fields (CoS or DSCP) or assign data streams to traffic classes for prioritized handling. Transmission queues are configurable for individual Ethernet ports to shape traffic based on its traffic class. Many switches also support traffic policies that apply to data that is filtered by access control lists.

The following sections describe QoS features:

QoS Data Fields and Traffic Classes

Quality of Service defines a method of differentiating data streams to provide varying levels of service to the different streams.

Criteria determining a packet’s priority level include packet field contents and the port where data packets are received. QoS settings are translated into traffic classes, which are then used by switches to manage all traffic flows. Traffic flow management varies with each switch platform.

QoS Data Fields

Quality of service decisions are based on the contents of the following packet fields:

CoS (three bits): Class of service (CoS) is a 3-bit field in Ethernet frame headers using VLAN tagging. The field specifies a priority value between zero and seven. Class of service operates at layer 2.
DSCP (six bits): Differentiated Service Code Point (DSCP) is a 6-bit field in the Type Of Service (TOS) field of IP packet headers.

Port Settings – Trust Mode and Traffic Class

Ethernet and port channel interfaces support three QoS trust modes:

CoS Trust: Ports use inbound packet CoS field contents to derive the traffic class.
DSCP Trust: Ports use inbound packets DSCP field contents to derive the traffic class.
Untrusted: Ports use their default values to derive the traffic class, ignoring packet contents.

The default mode setting is CoS trust for switched ports and DSCP trust for routed ports.

Ports are associated with default CoS, DSCP, and traffic class settings; defaults vary by platform.

These sections describe procedures for configuring port settings:

Rewriting CoS and DSCP

CoS Rewrite

Switches can rewrite the CoS field for outbound tagged packets. The new CoS value is configurable, and is derived from a data stream’s traffic class as specified by the traffic class-to-CoS rewrite map. CoS rewrite is disabled on all the traffic received on CoS trusted ports.

On Arad, Jericho, FM6000, Trident and Tomahawk, Trident II, and Helix platform switches, CoS rewrite can be enabled or disabled on DSCP trusted ports and untrusted ports.

CoS rewrite is globally enabled by default for packets received on untrusted ports and DSCP trusted ports if at least one port is explicitly configured in DSCP trust or untrusted mode.
CoS rewrite is globally disabled by default for packets received on untrusted ports and DSCP trusted ports if there are no ports explicitly configured in DSCP trust or untrusted mode.

On Petra platform switches, CoS rewrite is always enabled on DSCP trusted ports and untrusted ports.

DSCP Rewrite

Switches can rewrite the DSCP field for outbound IP packets. On FM6000, Trident and Tomahawk, Trident II, and Helix platform switches, DSCP rewrite is disabled by default on all ports and always disabled for traffic received on DSCP trusted ports. On Petra, Arad, and Jericho platform switches, DSCP rewrite is always disabled.

FM6000, Trident and Tomahawk, Trident II, and Helix platform switches provide a command that enables or disables DSCP rewrite for packets received on CoS trusted ports and untrusted ports. The new DSCP value is configurable, based on the data stream’s traffic class, as specified by the traffic class-to-DSCP rewrite map.

These sections describe procedures for rewriting CoS and DSCP fields:

Traffic Classes

Data stream distribution is based on their traffic classes. Data stream management varies by switch platform. Traffic classes are derived from these data stream, inbound port, and switch attributes:

CoS field contents
DSCP field contents
Inbound port trust setting
CoS default setting (Arad, Jericho, FM6000, Trident and Tomahawk, Trident II, and Helix platform switches)
DSCP default setting (Arad, Jericho, FM6000, Trident and Tomahawk, and Trident II platform switches)
Traffic class default setting (Petra platform switches)

When a port is configured to derive a data stream’s traffic class from the CoS or DSCP value associated with the stream, the traffic class is determined from a conversion map.

A CoS-to-traffic class map derives a traffic class from a CoS value.
A DSCP-to-traffic class map derives a traffic class from a DSCP value.

Map entries are configurable through CLI commands. Default maps determine the traffic class value when CLI map entry commands are not configured. Default maps vary by switch platform.

These sections describe traffic class configuration procedures:

Transmit Queues and Port Shaping

Transmit queues are logical partitions of an Ethernet port’s egress bandwidth. Data streams are assigned to queues based on their traffic class, then sent as scheduled by port and transmit settings. Support varies by switch platform. A queue’s label determines its priority: queues with the suffix “0” have the lowest priority.

Parameters that determine transmission schedules include:

Traffic class-to-transmit queue mapping determines the transmit queue for transmitting data streams based on traffic class. The set of available transmit maps vary by switch platforms:
- Arad, Jericho, FM6000, Trident II, and Helix platforms: one map for all unicast and multicast traffic.
- Trident and Tomahawk platform: one map for unicast traffic and one map for multicast traffic.
- Petra platform: one map for unicast traffic. Queue shaping is not available for multicast traffic.
Port shaping specifies a port’s maximum egress bandwidth.
Queue shaping specifies a transmit queue’s maximum egress bandwidth, and implementation varies by platform.
- Trident and Tomahawk platform: queue shaping is configurable separately for unicast and multicast queues.
- Trident II platform: queue shaping is configurable for transmit queues. Port shaping and queue shaping are supported only in store-and-forward switching mode.
- Petra platform: queue shaping is not available for multicast traffic.
- Helix platform: queue shaping is configurable for transmit queues.
- FM6000 platform: switches do not support simultaneous port shaping and queue shaping. Enabling port shaping on an FM6000 switch disables queue shaping, regardless of the previous configuration.
Guaranteed bandwidth guarantees the allocation of a specified bandwidth for a transmit queue. Guaranteed bandwidth is supported only on Trident II platforms.
Queue priority specifies the priority at which a transmit queue is serviced. The switch defines two queue priority types:
- Strict priority queues are serviced in the order of their priority rank - subject to each queue’s configured maximum bandwidth. Data is not handled for a queue until all queues with higher priority are emptied or their transmission limit is reached. These queues typically carry low latency real time traffic and require highest available priority.
  - Round robin queues are serviced simultaneously subject to assigned bandwidth percentage and configured maximum bandwidth. All round robin queues have lower priority than strict priority queues. Round robin queues can be starved by strict priority queues.
Queue scheduling determines how packets from different transmit queues are serviced to be sent out on the port.
Queue bandwidth allocation specifies the time slice (percentage) assigned to a round robin queue, relative to all other round robin queues.

These sections describe transmit queue and port shaping configuration procedures:

Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN)

Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) is an IP and TCP extension that facilitates end-to-end network congestion notification without dropping packets. ECN recognizes early congestion and sets flags that signal affected hosts. Trident and Tomahawk, Trident II, and Helix platform switches extend ECN support to non-TCP packets.

ECN usage requires that it is supported and enabled by both endpoints. Although only unicast flows are modified by ECN markers, the multicast, broadcast, and unmarked unicast flows can affect network congestion and influence the indication of unicast packet congestion.

ECN Conceptual Overview

The ECN field in the IP header (bits 6 and 7 in the IPv4 TOS or IPv6 traffic class octet) advertises ECN capabilities:

00: Router does not support ECN.
10: Router supports ECN.
01: Router supports ECN.
11: Congestion encountered.

Networks typically signal congestion by dropping packets. After an ECN-capable host negotiates ECN, it signals impending congestion by marking the IP header of packets encountering the congestion instead of dropping the packets. The recipient echoes the congestion indication back to the sender, which reduces its transmission rate as if it had detected a dropped packet.

Switches support ECN for unicast queues through Weighted Random Early Detection (WRED), an active queue management (AQM) algorithm that extends Random Early Detection (RED) to define multiple thresholds for an individual queue. WRED determines congestion by comparing average queue size with queue thresholds. Average queue size depends on the previous average and current queue size:

average queue size = (old_avg * (1-2^(-weight))) + (current_queue_size * 2^(-weight))

where weight is the exponential weight factor used for averaging the queue size.

Packets are marked based on WRED as follows:

If average queue size is below the minimum threshold, packets are queued as in normal operation without ECN.
If average queue size is greater than the maximum threshold, packets are marked for congestion.
If average queue size is between minimum and maximum queue threshold, packets are either queued or marked. The proportion of packets that are marked increases linearly from 0% at the minimum threshold to 100% at the maximum threshold.

Treatment of packets marked as not ECN capable varies by platform.

These sections describe ECN configuration procedures:

ACL Policing

ACL policing monitors the ingress data rates for a particular class of traffic and performs the action configured when the traffic exceeds the user configured value. Therefore, it allows the user to control ingress bandwidth based on packet classification. The incoming traffic is metered and marked by the policing, and based on the metering results the actions are performed.

ACL policing uses a token bucket shaping algorithm for packet transmission. Packets are eligible for transmission when token count is positive, and when token count is negative the next packet will have to wait until the token count turns positive again. The tokens are renewed at 96ns time interval (Tc). The tokens are collected in the policer bucket up to a max burst size of 16KB, and any traffic beyond this shape rate and burst size is buffered in the shared memory. The packets are dropped if there is a memory overflow.

Note: The policer bucket is refilled at a sweeper period of 0.333 millisecond. This is applicable for all the platforms.

For example, let us assume that shaping is not enabled, and the link is at 10 Gbps, that is 1.25 bytes/nsec. In such case a each refill cycle will add tokens worth 120 bytes. For a shape rate of 500 Mbps, each refill cycle will add 6 bytes. And for 64 byte worth of tokens we need around 11 refill cycles = 1us. A 64 byte packet coming immediately after a jumbo frame will have to wait longer compared to a jumbo frame coming after 64 byte packet.

Token size depends on the interface speed, following the last example:

For 10 Gbps, each refill cycle will add tokens worth 120 bytes.
For 1 Gbps, each refill cycle will add tokens worth 12 bytes.

At lower shaping rates (less than 10 Mbps), granularity and rounding errors may alter the actual shaping rate by 20% from the specified rate, and the rounding errors are much less at higher speeds. For example, At 100 Mbps you will see 98.9Mbps configured in hardware. User can use the show qos interfaces command to verify the interface speed.

The policing uses three types of traffic metering and coloring mechanisms.

Single Rate Two Color Marker
Single Rate Three Color Marker
Two Rate Three Color Marker

Single Rate Two Color Marker

It meters the packet stream and marks packets based on committed burst size (bc) and excess burst size (be).

Single Rate Three Color Marker

It meters the packet stream and marks packets based on single rate committed information rate (cir), and committed burst size (bc) and excess burst size (be). The packets are marked in green if it does not exceed the set burst size, and marked in yellow if it does exceed the burst size but not the excess burst size, and marked red otherwise. The packets are marked in two color modes.

Color-blind Mode: In color-blind mode the incoming packet color is ignored.
Color-aware Mode: In color-aware mode it is assumed that incoming packet is colored by preceding entity. And, in color-aware mode, a packet never get better than it was. If the input color of the packet is green, it can be marked as green, yellow, or red. But if the input color is yellow, then it can be marked only yellow or red

Two Rate Three Color Marker

It meters the packet stream and marks its packets based on two rates, peak information rate (pir) and committed information rate (cir), and associated burst sizes (bc and be).The packet is marked red if rate exceeds ‘pir’, and yellow if it exceeds ‘cir’ but not 'pir' and marked green if rate is lower than 'cir'. The two rate mode is configured by setting four parameters pir, cir, bc, and be.

The ACL policing is supported on platforms specified in the table below.

Configuring ACL Policing

The policer is applied to the class inside the policy map. Policy maps can contain one or more policy map classes, each with different match criteria and policers. The following is the default behavior on conditions and available policing actions:

Police command creates a per-interface policer. If you attach per-interface policers to multiple ingress ports, each one polices the matched traffic on each ingress port separately. Per interface statistics gathered for conformed/allowed traffic and exceeded/dropped traffic
If there is no policer configured within a class, all traffic is transmitted without any policing. If there are any actions configured, the configured actions are applied
- conform-action (green): transmit (default)
- exceed-action (yellow): drop (default)
- violate-action (red): drop (default)
The policer bucket is refilled at a sweeper period of 0.333 milliseconds, and the tokens in the policer bucket are renewed at 96ns time interval (Tc). This is applicable for all the platforms.

Steps to Configure ACL Policing

These commands set the CIR, burst size, and creates a class and applies the policing to the policy map:

Create a policy map.
Create a class-map.
Apply the policer to the policy map created.

Examples

These commands configure the ACL policing for a policy map.

switch#configure terminal
switch(config)#policy-map [type qos] policy-name
switch(config-pmap)#class { class-name }
switch(config-pmap-c)#[no] police cir cir [{bps|kbps|mbps}] bc 
committed-burst-size [{bytes|kbytes|mbytes}]

These commands configure ACL policing in single-rate, two-color mode.

switch(config)#class-map type qos match-any class1 
switch(config-cmap-class1)#match ip access-group acl1
switch(config-cmap-class1)#exit

switch(config)#policy-map type quality-of-service policy1

Quality of Service (QoS) Profiles

Quality of Service (QoS) profiles are sets of QoS configuration instructions defined and applied at the interface level. A QoS profile serves the traffic better by reducing disorder in the running configuration. QoS profiles can modify all interface-level QoS configurations, and are supported on fabric, Ethernet, and port-channel interfaces. Control-plane policies cannot be applied using QoS profiles. Because configuration can be applied through QoS profiles or directly at the interface level, multiple configurations can be applied to the same interface. In such cases, QoS configurations with non-default values, whether configured through the CLI at the interface level or through a QoS profile, are given priority. In the case of multiple non-default values being configured, the interface-level CLI configuration is given priority.

Policy maps incorporating traffic resolution commands can also be applied by a QoS profile. If two policy maps are applied to the same interface (one through a QoS profile and another directly to the CLI).

Policy maps cannot be used on fabric interfaces. If a QoS profile which includes a policy map is applied to a fabric interface, a warning message will be displayed and the policy map will not be applied to the interface, but any additional supported configurations in the QoS profile will be applied. On SVIs and subinterfaces, QoS profiles are not supported, so policy maps must be applied directly through the CLI for these interfaces.

Note: For tx-queue configuration, conflicts between QoS profiles and configuration entered via the CLI are resolved at the tx-queue level and not at the tx-queue attribute level. If any non-default configuration has been entered for the tx-queue through the CLI, all tx-queue configuration included in the QoS profile is ignored.

QoS Configuration: Platform-Independent Features

Creating QoS Profiles

QoS profiles are created by using the qos profile command. This also places the switch in QoS profile configuration mode, where the QoS parameters applied to interfaces are configured. To delete a QoS profile from the running configuration, use the no form of the command.

Example

This command creates a QoS profile named “Test-Profile” and places the switch in QoS profile configuration mode for the profile.

switch(config)#qos profile Test-Profile 
switch(config-qos-profile-Test-Profile)#

Configuring QoS Profiles

The parameters that a QoS profile will apply to interfaces are configured in QoS profile configuration mode by issuing the same QoS configuration commands that are available in interface configuration mode. QoS profile configuration mode is a group change mode, and changes made in the mode are not saved until the mode is exited. To abandon all changes made while in the mode, use the abort command.

Example

These commands enter QoS profile configuration mode for a QoS profile named “Test Profile,” configure the CoS value and transmit queue, and save the changes to the profile.

switch(config)#qos profile Test-Profile
switch(config-qos-profile-Test-Profile)#qos cos 3
switch(config-qos-profile-Test-Profile)#priority-flow-control on
switch(config-qos-profile-Test-Profile)#exit

switch(config)#

Attaching Policy-Map to a QoS Profile

The qos profile command places the switch in QoS profile configuration mode. The profile applies the QoS configurations to Ethernet and Port-Channel, and even to the Fabric interfaces, if it exists. A profile specifies the policy-map and other QoS supported configurations. The policy-map is then attached to the QoS profile using service-policy command.

Profiles are created in QoS-profile configuration mode, then applied to an interface in interface configuration mode.

Examples

This command places the switch in QoS profile configuration mode, the policy-map is then attached to the profile using service-policy command in this mode.
```
switch(config)#qos profile TP
switch(config-qos-profile-TP)#
```

This command applies the policy-map to the QoS profile.

switch(config-qos-profile-TP)#service-policy type qos input PM-1

Applying a QoS profile on an Interface

The service-profile command applies a QoS profile to the configuration mode interface.

Example

This command applies the QoS profile TP to Ethernet interface 13.

switch(config)#interface ethernet 13
switch(config-if-Et13)#service-profile TP

Displaying the QoS Profile Information

The show qos profile command displays information about the QoS profiles configured and their parameters. To display the attribute of a specific profile, add the name of the profile. To display a list of configured QoS profiles and the interfaces on which they are configured, add the summary keyword.

Examples

This command displays the configured profiles and their configuration.

switch#show qos profile
qos profile p
 qos cos 1
no priority-flow-control pause watchdog
priority-flow-control priority 1 no-drop
priority-flow-control priority 2 no-drop
qos profile p2
qos cos 3
priority-flow-control priority 0 no-drop

This command displays the contents of a specific profile.

switch#show qos profile p2
qos profile p2
qos cos 3
priority-flow-control priority 0 no-drop

This command displays the interfaces on which each profile is applied.

switch#show qos profile summary
Qos Profile: p

Qos Profile: p2
Configured on: Et56

QoS Configuration: Arad Platform Switches

Implementing QoS on an Arad platform switch consists of configuring port trust settings, default port settings, default traffic classes, conversion maps, and transmit queues.

CoS and DSCP Port Settings – Arad Platform Switches
Traffic Class Derivations – Arad Platform Switches
CoS Rewrite – Arad Platform Switches
Transmit Queues and Port Shaping – Arad Platform Switches
ECN Configuration – Arad Platform Switches
ACL Policing – Arad Platform Switches

Note: QoS traffic policy is supported on Trident and Tomahawk, Trident II, FM6000, Arad, and Jericho.

CoS and DSCP Port Settings – Arad Platform Switches

Port Settings – Trust Mode and Traffic Class describes port trust and default port CoS and DSCP values.

Configuring Port Trust Settings

The qos trust command configures the QoS port trust mode for the configuration mode interface. Trust enabled ports use packet CoS or DSCP values to classify traffic. The port-trust default for switched ports is CoS. The port-trust default for routed ports is DSCP.

qos trust cos specifies CoS as the port’s port-trust mode.
qos trust dscp specifies DSCP as the port’s port-trust mode.
no qos trust specifies untrusted as the port’s port-trust mode.

The show qos interfaces trust command displays the trust mode of specified interfaces.

Example

These commands configure and display the following trust modes:

Ethernet 3/5/1: dscp
Ethernet 3/5/2: untrusted
Ethernet 3/5/3: cos
Ethernet 3/5/4: default as a switched port

Ethernet 3/6/1: default as a routed port

switch(config)#interface ethernet 3/5/1
switch(config-if-Et3/5/1)#qos trust dscp
switch(config-if-Et3/5/1)#interface ethernet 3/5/2
switch(config-if-Et3/5/2)#no qos trust

Configuring Default Port Settings

Default CoS and DSCP values are assigned to each Ethernet and port channel interface. These commands specify the configuration mode interface commands specify the port’s default CoS and DSCP values.

qos cos configures a port’s default CoS value.
qos dscp configures a port’s default DSCP value.

Example

These commands configure default CoS (4) and DSCP (44) values on Ethernet 
interface 3/6/2.
switch(config)#interface ethernet 3/6/2
switch(config-if-Et3/6/2)#qos cos 4
switch(config-if-Et3/6/2)#qos dscp 44

CoS and DSCP Port Settings – Arad Platform Switchesdescribes the default CoS and DSCP settings for each port.

Mapping CoS to Traffic Class

The qos map cos command assigns a traffic class to a list of CoS values. Multiple commands create a complete CoS to traffic class map. The switch uses this map to assign a traffic class to data packets on the basis of the packet’s CoS field or the chip upon which it is received.

Example

This command assigns the traffic class of 5 to the classes of service 1, 3, 5, and 7.

switch(config)#qos map cos 1 3 5 7 to traffic-class 5
switch(config)#show qos maps
 Number of Traffic Classes supported: 8


 Cos-tc map:

Inbound CoS	Untagged	0	1	2	3	4	5	6	7
Traffic Class	Derived: use default CoS as inbound	1	0	2	3	4	5	6	7

Mapping DSCP to Traffic Class

The qos map dscp command assigns a traffic class to a set of DSCP values. Multiple commands create a complete DSCP to traffic class map. The switch uses this map to assign a traffic class to data packets on the basis of the packet’s DSCP field or the chip upon which it is received.

Example

This command assigns the traffic class of 0 to DSCP values of 12, 24, 41, and 44-47.

switch(config)#qos map dscp 12 24 41 44 45 46 47 to traffic-class 0

CoS Rewrite – Arad Platform Switches

Rewriting CoS and DSCP describes the CoS rewrite functions.

Traffic Class to CoS Rewrite Map

The CoS rewrite value is configurable and based on a data stream’s traffic class, as specified by the traffic class-CoS rewrite map. The qos map traffic-class to coscommand assigns a CoS rewrite value to a list of traffic classes. Multiple commands create the complete traffic class–CoS rewrite map.

Example

This command assigns the CoS of two to traffic classes 1, 3, and 5.

switch(config)#qos map traffic-class 1 3 5 to cos 2
switch(config)#show qos map
 Number of Traffic Classes supported: 8

Traffic Class	0	1	2	3	4	5	6	7
CoS Rewrite Value	1	0	2	3	4	5	6	7

Traffic Class to DSCP Rewrite Map

DSCP rewrite is always disabled on Arad platform switches.

Transmit Queues and Port Shaping – Arad Platform Switches

Transmit Queues and Port Shaping describes transmit queues and port shaping.

Arad platform switches provide 16 physical queues for each egress port: eight unicast and eight multicast queues. Data is scheduled to the physical queues based on transmit queue assignments.

Multicast queue capacity that remains after multicast traffic is serviced is available for unicast traffic of a corresponding priority. Similarly, unicast queue capacity that remains after unicast traffic is serviced is available for overflow multicast traffic. Under conditions of unicast and multicast congestion, egress traffic is evenly split between unicast and multicast traffic.

A data stream’s traffic class determines the transmit queue it uses. The switch defines a single traffic class–transmit queue map for unicast and multicast traffic on all Ethernet and port channel interfaces. The show qos maps command displays the traffic class–transmit queue map.

The following tabledisplays the default traffic class to transmit queue map on Arad platform switches.

Table 5. Default Traffic Class to Transmit Queue Map: Arad Platform Switches
Traffic Class	0	1	2	3	4	5	6	7
Transmit Queue	0	1	2	3	4	5	6	7

Transmit queue parameters are configured in tx-queue configuration command mode, which is entered from interface-ethernet configuration mode.

Mapping Traffic Classes to a Transmit Queue

The qos map traffic-class to tx-queue command assigns traffic classes to a transmit queue. Multiple commands complete the traffic class-transmit queue map. Traffic class 7 and transmit queue 7 are always mapped to each other. This association is not editable.

Example

These commands assign traffic classes of 1, 3, and 5 to transmit queue 1, traffic classes 2, 4, and 6 to transmit queue 2, and traffic class 0 to transmit queue 0, then display the resultant map.

switch(config)#qos map traffic-class 1 3 5 to tx-queue 1
switch(config)#qos map traffic-class 2 4 6 to tx-queue 2
switch(config)#qos map traffic-class 0 to tx-queue 0
switch(config)#show qos maps

Entering Tx-Queue Configuration Mode

The tx-queue (Arad/Jericho) command places the switch in tx-queue configuration mode to configure a transmit queue on the configuration mode interface. Tx-queue 7 is not configurable. The show qos interfaces displays the transmit queue configuration for a specified port.

Example

This command enters Tx-queue configuration mode for transmit queue 4 of Ethernet interface 3/3/3.

switch(config)#interface ethernet 3/3/3
switch(config-if-Et3/3/3)#tx-queue 4
switch(config-if-Et3/3/3-txq-4)#

Configuring the Shape Rate – Port and Transmit Queues

A port’s shape rate specifies its maximum outbound traffic bandwidth. A transmit queue’s shape rate specifies the queue’s maximum outbound bandwidth. Shape rate commands specify data rates in kbps.

To configure a port’s shape rate, enter shape rate (Interface – Arad/Jericho) from the port’s interface configuration mode.
To configure a transmit queue’s shape rate, enter shape rate (Tx-queue – Arad/Jericho) from the queue’s tx-queue configuration mode.

Examples

This command configures a port shape rate of 5 Gbps on Ethernet interface 3/5/1.

switch(config)#interface ethernet 3/5/1
switch(config-if-Et3/5/1)#shape rate 5000000

Configuring Queue Priority

The priority (Arad/Jericho) command configures a transmit queue’s priority type:

The priority strict command configures the queue as a strict priority queue.
The no priority command configures the queue as a round robin queue.

A queue’s configuration as round robin also applies to all lower priority queues regardless of other configuration statements.

The bandwidth percent (Arad/Jericho) command configures a round robin queue’s bandwidth share. The cumulative operational bandwidth of all round robin queues is always less than or equal to 100%. If the cumulative configured bandwidth is greater than 100%, each port’s operational bandwidth is its configured bandwidth divided by the cumulative configured bandwidth.

Examples

These commands configure queues 0 through 3 (Ethernet interface 3/5/1) as round robin, then allocate bandwidth for three queues at 30% and one queue at 10%.

The no priority statement for queue 3 also configures queues 0, 1, and 2 as round robin queues. Removing this statement reverts the other queues to strict priority type unless running-config contains a no priority statement for one of these queues.

switch(config)#interface ethernet 3/5/1
switch(config-if-Et3/5/1)#tx-queue 3

ECN Configuration – Arad Platform Switches

Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN)describes Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN).

Although the switch does not limit the number of queues that can be configured for ECN, hardware table limitations restrict the number of queues that can simultaneously implement ECN.

The random-detect ecn (Arad/Jericho) command enables ECN marking for the configuration mode unicast transmit queue and specifies threshold queue sizes.

Example

These commands enable ECN marking of unicast packets from unicast transmit queue 4 of Ethernet interface 3/5/1, setting thresholds at 128 kbytes and 1280 kbytes.

switch(config)#interface ethernet 3/5/1
switch(config-if-Et3/5/1)#tx-queue 4

ACL Policing – Arad Platform Switches

ACL Policing describes ACL policing.

Implementing ACL policing consists of configuring the following:

policy-map settings
class-name
committed information rate (CIR) the data speed committed to any given circuit regardless of the number of users
burst size the maximum burst size in bytes the network commits to moving under normal conditions

The default unit for the metering rate CIR is bits per second; the default unit for the burst size is bytes.

The policer is applied to the class inside the policy map. Policy maps can contain one or more policy map classes, each with different match criteria and policer.

Default behavior and available policing actions are as follows:

Policy map can be applied on multiple interfaces. Interfaces on the same chip will share the policer. (Applicable for Arad only.)
If there is no policer configured within a class, all traffic is transmitted without any policing.
If there are any actions configured, the configured actions are applied:
- Conform-action (green): transmit (default)
- Violate-action (red): drop (default)

Example

These commands configure ACL policing in single-rate, two-color mode.

switch(config)#class-map type qos match-any class1
switch(config-cmap-class1)#match ip access-group acl1
switch(config-cmap-class1)#exit
switch(config)#policy-map type quality-of-service policy1

QoS Configuration: FM6000 Platform Switches

Implementing QoS on an FM6000 platform switch consists of configuring port trust settings, default port settings, default traffic classes, conversion maps, and transmit queues.

CoS and DSCP Port Settings – FM6000 Platform Switches

Port Settings – Trust Mode and Traffic Class describes port trust and default port CoS and DSCP values.

Configuring Port Trust Settings

The qos trust command configures the QoS port trust mode for the configuration mode interface. Trust enabled ports use packet CoS or DSCP values to classify traffic. The port-trust default for switched ports is cos. The port-trust default for routed ports is dscp.

qos trust cos specifies cos as the port’s port-trust mode.
qos trust dscp specifies dscp as the port’s port-trust mode.
no qos trust specifies untrusted as the port’s port-trust mode.

The show qos interfaces trust command displays the trust mode of specified interfaces.

Example

These commands configure and display the following trust modes:

Ethernet 15: dscp
Ethernet 16: untrusted
Ethernet 17: cos
Ethernet 18: default as a switched port

Ethernet 19: default as a routed port

switch(config)#interface ethernet 15
switch(config-if-Et15)#qos trust dscp

Configuring Default Port Settings

Default CoS and DSCP settings are assigned to individual port channel and Ethernet interfaces. These configuration mode interface commands specify the port’s default CoS and DSCP values.

qos cos configures a port’s default CoS value.
qos dscp configures a port’s default DSCP value.

Example

These commands configure default CoS (4) and DSCP (44) settings on Ethernet interface 19.

switch(config)#interface ethernet 19
switch(config-if-Et19)#qos cos 4
switch(config-if-Et19)#qos dscp 44
switch(config-if-Et19)#show active

CoS and DSCP Rewrite – FM6000 Platform Switches

Rewriting CoS and DSCP describes the CoS and DSCP rewrite functions.

Traffic Class to CoS Rewrite Map

The CoS rewrite value is configurable and based on a data stream’s traffic class, as specified by the traffic class-CoS rewrite map. The qos map traffic-class to cos command assigns a CoS rewrite value to a list of traffic classes. Multiple commands create the complete traffic class–CoS rewrite map.

Example

This command assigns the CoS rewrite value of two to traffic classes 1, 3, and 5.

Transmit Queues and Port Shaping – FM6000 Platform Switches

Transmit Queues and Port Shaping describes transmit queues and port shaping.

A data stream’s traffic class determines the transmit queue it uses. The switch defines a single traffic class-transmit queue map for all Ethernet and port channel interfaces and is used for unicast and multicast traffic. The show qos maps command displays the traffic class to transmit queue map.

The following table displays the default traffic class to transmit queue map on FM6000 platform switches.

Table 16. Default Traffic Class to Transmit Queue Map: FM6000 Platform Switches
Traffic Class	0	1	2	3	4	5	6	7

Mapping Traffic Classes to a Transmit Queue

The qos map traffic-class to tx-queue command assigns traffic classes to a transmit queue. Multiple commands create the complete map.

Example

These commands assign traffic classes of 1, 3, and 5 to transmit queue 1, traffic classes 2, 4, and 6 to transmit queue 2, and traffic class 0 to transmit queue 0, then display the resultant map.

switch(config)#qos map traffic-class 1 3 5 to tx-queue 1
switch(config)#qos map traffic-class 2 4 6 to tx-queue 2
switch(config)#qos map traffic-class 0 to tx-queue 0

switch(config)#

Entering TX-Queue Configuration Mode

Transmit queues are configurable on Ethernet ports and port channels. Queue parameters are configured in tx-queue configuration command mode, which is entered from interface ethernet configuration mode. The tx-queue (FM6000) command places the switch in tx-queue configuration mode. The show qos interfaces displays the transmit queue configuration for a specified port.

Example

This command enters tx-queue configuration mode for transmit queue 3 of Ethernet interface 5.

switch(config)#interface ethernet 5
switch(config-if-Et5)#tx-queue 3 
switch(config-if-Et5-txq-3)#

Configuring the Shape Rate – Port and Transmit Queues

Note: Enabling port shaping on an FM6000 interface disables queue shaping internally. Disabling port shaping restores queue shaping as specified in running-config.

To configure a port’s shape rate, enter shape rate (Interface – FM6000) from the port’s interface configuration mode.
To configure a transmit queue’s shape rate, enter shape rate (Tx-queue – FM6000) from the queue’s tx-queue configuration mode.

Example

These commands configure a shape rate of 5 Gbs on Ethernet port 3, then configure the shape rate for the following transmit queues:

transmit queues 0, 1, and 2: 500 Mbps

transmit queues 3, 4, and 5: 400 Mbps

switch(config)#interface ethernet 3
switch(config-if-Et3)#shape rate 5000000
switch(config-if-Et3)#tx-queue 0
switch(config-if-Et3-txq-0)#shape rate 500000

switch(config-if-Et3)#

Configuring Queue Priority

Queue priority rank is denoted by the queue number; transmit queues with higher numbers have higher priority. The priority (FM6000) command configures a transmit queue’s priority type:

priority strict configures the queue as a strict priority queue.
no priority configures the queue as a round robin queue.

A queue’s configuration as round robin also applies to all lower priority queues regardless of other configuration statements.

The bandwidth percent (FM6000) command configures a round robin queue’s bandwidth share. The cumulative operational bandwidth of all round robin queues is always less than or equal to 100%. If the cumulative configured bandwidth is greater than 100%, each port’s operational bandwidth is its configured bandwidth divided by the cumulative configured bandwidth.

Examples

These commands configure transmit queue 3 (on Ethernet interface 19) as a round robin queue, then allocates 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40% bandwidth to queues 0 through 3.

switch(config)#interface ethernet 19
switch(config-if-Et19)#tx-queue 3

QoS Configuration: Petra Platform Switches

Implementing QoS on a Petra platform switch consists of configuring port trust settings, default port settings, default traffic classes, conversion maps, and transmit queues.

CoS and DSCP Port Settings – Petra Platform Switches

Port Settings – Trust Mode and Traffic Classdescribes port trust and default port CoS and DSCP values.

Configuring Port Trust Settings

The qos trust command configures the QoS port trust mode for the configuration mode interface. Trust enabled ports use packet CoS or DSCP values to classify traffic. The port-trust default for switched ports is cos. The port-trust default for routed ports is dscp.

qos trust cos specifies cos as the port’s port-trust mode.
qos trust dscp specifies dscp as the port’s port-trust mode.
no qos trust specifies untrusted as the port’s port-trust mode.

The show qos interfaces trust command displays the trust mode of specified interfaces.

Example

These commands configure and display the following trust modes:

Ethernet 3/25: dscp
Ethernet 3/26: untrusted
Ethernet 3/27: cos

Port channel and Ethernet interfaces are not assigned default CoS or DSCP settings.

Traffic Class Derivations – Petra Platform Switches

Traffic Classes describes traffic classes.

Traffic Class Derivation Source

The following table displays the source for deriving a data stream’s default traffic class.

Table 17. Traffic Class Derivation Source: Petra Platform Switches

Configuring Default Traffic Class

Petra platform switches assign a default traffic class to the set of Ethernet interfaces controlled by individual PetraA chips. Default traffic class values are configurable for each PetraA chip, not individual interfaces.

The platform petraA traffic-class command specifies the default traffic class used by all ports controlled by a specified chip. The show platform petraA traffic-classcommand displays traffic class assignments.

Examples

This command configures the default traffic class to five for the ports 32-39 on linecard 3 (7500 Series).

switch(config)#platform petraA petra3/4 traffic-class 5
switch(config)#show platform petraA module 3 traffic-class
Petra3/0 traffic-class: 1
Petra3/1 traffic-class: 1
Petra3/2 traffic-class: 1
Petra3/3 traffic-class: 1
Petra3/4 traffic-class: 5
Petra3/5 traffic-class: 1
switch(config)#

This command configures the default traffic class to three for all ports on linecard 6 (7500 Series).

switch(config)#platform petraA module 6 traffic-class 6
switch(config)#show platform petraA module 6 traffic-class
Petra6/0 traffic-class: 6
Petra6/1 traffic-class: 6
Petra6/2 traffic-class: 6
Petra6/3 traffic-class: 6
Petra6/4 traffic-class: 6
Petra6/5 traffic-class: 6
switch(config)#

Mapping CoS to Traffic Class

The qos map cos command assigns a traffic class to a list of CoS settings. Multiple commands create a complete CoS–traffic class map. The switch uses this map to assign a traffic class to data packets on the basis of the packet’s CoS field or the port upon which it is received.

Example

This command assigns the traffic class of 4 to the classes of service 1, 3, 5, and 7.

switch(config)#qos map cos 1 3 5 7 to traffic-class 4
switch(config)#show qos maps
 Number of Traffic Classes supported: 8

Transmit Queues and Port Shaping – Petra Platform Switches

Transmit Queues and Port Shaping describes transmit queues and port shaping.

Petra platform switches provide four physical queues for each egress port: Unicast High, Unicast Low, Multicast High, and Multicast Low. Data is scheduled for the high or low queue based on its priority as defined by its transmit queue assignment (unicast traffic) or traffic class (multicast traffic), as shown in the table below. A Petra transmit queue is a data structure that defines scheduling of unicast traffic among phyical egress queues.

Table 21. Traffic Distribution to Egress Port Queues
	High Priority Queue	Low Priority Queue
Unicast Traffic	Transmit Queues 5 – 7	Transmit Queues 0 – 4
Multicast Traffic	Traffic Classes 5 – 7	Traffic Classes 0 – 4

Multicast queue capacity that is available after multicast traffic is serviced is used for unicast traffic of a corresponding priority. Similarly, unicast queue capacity that is available after unicast traffic is serviced is used for overflow multicast traffic. Under conditions of unicast and multicast congestion, egress traffic is evenly split between unicast and multicast traffic.

Unicast Transmit Queues and Port Shapingdescribes unicast transmit queues and shaping. Multicast Egress Scheduling describes multicast priority and traffic classes.

Unicast Transmit Queues and Port Shaping

A data stream’s traffic class determines the transmit queue it uses. The switch defines a single traffic class–transmit queue map for unicast traffic on all Ethernet interfaces. The show qos maps command displays the traffic class–transmit queue map. The following table displays the default traffic class to transmit queue map on Petra platform switches.

Table 22. Default Traffic Class to Transmit Queue Map: Petra Platform Switches

Configuring Queue Priority

The priority (Petra) command configures a transmit queue’s priority type:

The priority strict command configures the queue as a strict priority queue.
The no priority command configures the queue as a round robin queue.

A queue’s configuration as round robin also applies to all lower priority queues regardless of other configuration statements.

The bandwidth percent (Petra) command configures a round robin queue’s bandwidth share. The cumulative operational bandwidth of all round robin queues is always less than or equal to 100%. If the cumulative configured bandwidth is greater than 100%, each port’s operational bandwidth is its configured bandwidth divided by the cumulative configured bandwidth.

Examples

These commands configure transmit queue 3 (on Ethernet interface 3/28) as a round robin queue, then allocates 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40% bandwidth to queues 0 through 3.

Multicast Egress Scheduling

Multiclass traffic is not affected by traffic class assignment or port shaping statements. Multicast traffic is assigned to port egress queues based on traffic class and uses strict priority to schedule egress between the high and low queues.

QoS Configuration: Trident and Tomahawk Platform Switches

Implementing QoS on a Trident and Tomahawk platform switch consists of configuring port trust settings, default port settings, default traffic classes, conversion maps, and transmit queues.

CoS and DSCP Port Settings – Trident and Tomahawk Platform Switches

Configuring Port Trust Settings

The qos trust command configures the QoS port trust mode for the configuration mode interface. Trust-enabled ports use packet CoS or DSCP values to classify traffic. The port-trust default for switched ports is CoS. The port-trust default for routed ports is DSCP.

qos trust cos specifies CoS as the port’s trust mode.
qos trust dscp specifies DSCP as the port’s trust mode.
no qos trust specifies untrusted as the port’s trust mode.

The show qos interfaces trust command displays the trust mode of specified interfaces.

Example

These commands configure and display the following trust modes:

Ethernet 15: dscp
Ethernet 16: untrusted
Ethernet 17: cos
Ethernet 18: default as a switched port

Ethernet 19: default as a routed port

Transmit Queues and Port Shaping – Trident and Tomahawk Platform Switches

Transmit Queues and Port Shaping describes transmit queues and port shaping.

Trident and Tomahawk platform switches define 12 transmit queues: eight unicast (UC0 – UC7) and four multicast (MC0 – MC03). The traffic class–transmit queue maps are configured globally and apply to all Ethernet interfaces. The show qos maps command displays the traffic class–transmit queue maps.

The following table displays the default traffic class–transmit queue maps.

Entering a Transmit Queue Configuration Mode

Transmit queues are configurable on individual Ethernet ports. Parameters for individual transmit queues are configured in one of two transmit queue configuration modes. Transmit queue modes are accessed from an interface-ethernet configuration mode.

uc-tx-queue places the switch in uc-tx-queue mode to configure a unicast transmit queue.
mc-tx-queue places the switch in mc-tx-queue mode to configure a multicast transmit queue.

The show qos interfaces displays the transmit queue configuration for a specified port.

Examples

This command enters the mode that configures unicast transmit queue 3 of Ethernet interface 5.

switch(config)#interface ethernet 5
switch(config-if-Et5)#uc-tx-queue 3
switch(config-if-Et5-uc-txq-3)#

This command enters the mode to configure multicast transmit queue 3 of Ethernet interface 5.
```
switch(config-if-Et5)#mc-tx-queue 2
switch(config-if-Et5-mc-txq-2)#
```

Configuring the Shape Rate – Port and Transmit Queues

A port’s shape rate specifies the port’s maximum outbound traffic bandwidth. A shape rate can also be configured for all transmit queues on each port. All shape rate commands use kbps to specify data rates.

To configure a port’s shape rate, enter shape rate (Interface – Trident and Tomahawk) from the port’s interface configuration mode.
To configure a transmit queue’s shape rate, enter shape rate (Tx-queue – Trident and Tomahawk) from the queue’s tx-queue configuration mode.

Example

These commands configure a shape rate of 5 Gbs on Ethernet port 7, then configure the shape rate for the following transmit queues:

unicast transmit queues 0 and 1: 500 Mbps
unicast transmit queues 3 and 4: 400 Mbps

multicast transmit queues 0 and 2: 300 Mbps

switch(config)#interface ethernet 7

Configuring Queue Priority

Trident and Tomahawk platform switch queues are categorized into two priority groups. Priority group 1 queues have priority over priority 0 queues. The following lists display the priority group queues in order from higher priority to lower priority.

Priority Group 1: UC7, UC6, MC3
Priority Group 0: UC5, UC4, MC2, UC3, UC2, MC1, UC1, UC0, MC0

The priority (Trident and Tomahawk) command configures a transmit queue’s priority type:

The priority strict command configures the queue as a strict priority queue.
The no priority command configures the queue as a round robin queue.

A queue’s configuration as round robin also applies to all lower priority queues regardless of other configuration statements.

The bandwidth percent (Trident and Tomahawk) command configures a round robin queue’s bandwidth share. The cumulative operational bandwidth of all round robin queues is always 100%. If the cumulative configured bandwidth is greater than 100%, each port’s operational bandwidth is its configured bandwidth divided by the cumulative configured bandwidth.

Priority Group 1 queues (UC7, UC6, MC3) are not configurable as round robin queues. The bandwidth percent command is not available for these queues.

Examples

These commands configure unicast transmit queue 3 as a round robin queue, then allocates 5%, 15%, 25%, 35%, 8%, and 12% bandwidth to unicast transmit queues 0 through 3 and multicast transmit queues 0 and 1, respectively.

The no priority statement for queue 3 also configures priority for all lower priority queues. Removing the statement reverts the other queues to strict priority type unless running-config contains a no priority statement for one of these queues.

ECN Configuration – Trident and Tomahawk Platform Switches

Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN)describes Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN).

ECN is independently configurable on all egress queues of each Ethernet interface. ECN settings for Port-Channels are applied on each of the channel’s member Ethernet interfaces. ECN is also globally configurable to mark packets from the shared pool used for dynamically allocating memory to the queues. Multicast packets contribute to the globally shared pool and can contribute to global level congestion that result in ECN marking of unicast packets queued after the multicast packets.

Average queue length is tracked for transmit queues and the global pool independently. When either entity reaches its maximum threshold, all subsequent packets are marked.

Although the switch does not limit the number of queues that can be configured for ECN, hardware table limitations restrict the number of queues (including the global shared pool) that can simultaneously implement ECN.

Theqos random-detect ecn global-buffer (Trident and Tomahawk) command enables ECN marking for globally shared packet memory and specifies minimum and maximum queue threshold sizes.

Examples

This command enables ECN marking of unicast packets from the global data pool and sets the minimum and maximum thresholds at 20 and 500 segments.
```
switch(config)#qos random-detect ecn global-buffer minimum-threshold 20 segments 
maximum-threshold 500 segments
switch(config)#
```
This command disables ECN marking of unicast packets from the global data pool.
```
switch(config)#no qos random-detect ecn global-buffer
switch(config)#
```
The random-detect ecn (Trident and Tomahawk) command enables ECN marking for the configuration mode unicast transmit queue and specifies threshold queue sizes.

These commands enable ECN marking of unicast packets from transmit queue 4 of Ethernet interface 15, setting thresholds at 10 and 100 segments.

switch(config)#interface ethernet 15
switch(config-if-Et15)#uc-tx-queue 4
switch(config-if-Et15-uc-txq-4)#random-detect ecn minimum-threshold 10 segments

QoS Configuration: Trident II and Helix Platform Switches

Implementing QoS on a Trident platform switch consists of configuring port trust settings, default port settings, default traffic classes, conversion maps, and transmit queues.

CoS and DSCP Port Settings – Trident II and Helix Platform Switches

Configuring Port Trust Settings

The qos trust command configures the QoS port trust mode for the configuration mode interface. Trust enabled ports use packet CoS or DSCP values to classify traffic. The port-trust default for switched ports is cos. The port-trust default for routed ports is dscp.

qos trust cos specifies cos as the port’s port-trust mode.
qos trust dscp specifies dscp as the port’s port-trust mode.
no qos trust specifies untrusted as the port’s port-trust mode.

The show qos interfaces trust command displays the trust mode of specified interfaces.

Example

These commands configure and display the following trust modes:

Ethernet 7/1: dscp.
Ethernet 7/2: untrusted.
Ethernet 7/3: cos.

Transmit Queues and Port Shaping – Trident II and Helix Platform Switches

Transmit Queues and Port Shaping describes transmit queues and port shaping.

A data stream’s traffic class determines the transmit queue it uses. The switch defines a single traffic class-transmit queue map for all Ethernet interfaces and is used for unicast and multicast traffic. The traffic class to transmit queue maps are configured globally and apply to all Ethernet and port channel interfaces. Theshow qos mapscommand displays the traffic class to transmit queue map.

Trident II platform switches have eight unicast (UC0 – UC7) and eight multicast (MC0 – MC7) queues. Each UCx-MCx queue set is combined into a single queue group (L1.x), which is exposed to the CLI through this command.

The following table displays the default traffic class to transmit queue maps.

Mapping Traffic Classes to a Transmit Queue

The qos map traffic-class to tx-queuecommand assigns traffic classes to a transmit queue. Multiple commands create the complete map.

Example

These commands assign traffic classes of 1, 3, and 5 to transmit queue 1, traffic classes 2, 4, and 6 to transmit queue 2, and traffic class 0 to transmit queue 0, then display the resultant map.

switch(config)#qos map traffic-class 1 3 5 to tx-queue 1

Entering a Transmit Queue Configuration Mode

Transmit queues are configurable on Ethernet ports and port channels. Queue parameters are configured in tx-queue configuration command mode, which is entered from the appropriate interface configuration mode. The tx-queue (Trident II)command places the switch in tx-queue configuration mode. The show qos interfaces displays the transmit queue configuration for a specified port.

Example

This command enters tx-queue configuration mode for transmit queue 3 of Ethernet interface 5.

switch(config)#interface ethernet 5
switch(config-if-Et5)#tx-queue 3
switch(config-if-Et5-txq-3)#

Configuring the Shape Rate – Port and Transmit Queues

To configure a port’s shape rate, entershape rate (Interface – Trident II)from the port’s interface configuration mode.
To configure a transmit queue’s shape rate, entershape rate (Tx-queue – Trident II)from the queue’s tx-queue configuration mode.

Example

These commands configure a shape rate of 5 Gbs on Ethernet port 3, then configure the shape rate for the following transmit queues:

transmit queues 0, 1, and 2: 500 Mbps

transmit queues 3, 4, and 5: 400 Mbps

switch(config)#interface ethernet 17/3

Queue priority rank is denoted by the queue number; transmit queues with higher numbers have higher priority. Trident II supports strict priority queues; round robin queues are not supported.

The bandwidth guaranteed (Trident II) command configures specifies the minimum bandwidth for outbound traffic on the transmit queue.

Example

These commands configure a minimum egress bandwidth of 1 Mbps for transmit queue 4 of Ethernet interface 17/3.

Ingress Policing on LAG

Ingress policing on a port-channel polices the matched traffic from all member interfaces combined, i.e. it provides aggregate policing and statistics (DCS-7050X, DCS-7010T, DCS-7250X, and DCS-7300X series). When a per-interface policer is attached to a port-channel, one set of TCAM entries is created for all member interfaces. The associated interface bitmap is updated, and aggregate policing is performed on all member interfaces.

Examples

These commands configure a service-policy (with policer action) on LAG by creating the service-policy and applying the service-policy on a port-channel.

switch(config)#policy-map policy-1
switch(config-pmap-qos-policy-1)#class class-1
switch(config-pmap-c-qos-policy-1-class-1)#police cir 512000 bps bc 96000

Fabric QoS -- – Trident II Platform Switches

EOS is optimized to support QoS configuration on the Fabric interfaces on 7250x and 7300 series switches. Configuring QoS on the Fabric interfaces in addition to front panel ports allows user to have end-to-end control and helps to manage traffic better over these switches. By default, tx queues are configured as strict priority on 7250X and 7300X series.

The following QoS configuration options are supported on Fabric interfaces on 7250x and 7300 series switches.

Guaranteed Bandwidth: In order to prevent queue starvation on fabric ports EOS supports minimum bandwidth configuration on per queue basis across all fabric ports.
Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN): EOS supports enabling ECN on a per queue basis across all fabric ports.
Priority Flow Control (PFC): Queue back-pressure propagates across the backplane such that flow control messages can be generated to the upstream devices. This is done by enabling PFC for the desired backplane traffic-classes.
Weight Round Robin (WRR): EOS supports configuring Weighted Round Robin (WRR) on a per queue basis across all fabric ports.

Configuring Fabric QoS on 7250X and 7300X Series

Fabric QoS is configured using a QoS profiles which is then applied on fabric interfaces on 7250x and 7300x series. Following are the steps to configure Fabric QoS.

Use qos profile command to create a QoS profile.
Use tx-queue (Trident II) command to configure a transmit queue on the configuration mode interface.
Use bandwidth guaranteed (Trident II) command to specifie the minimum bandwidth for outbound traffic on the transmit queue.
Use random-detect ecn (Trident) command to enable the ECN marking for the configuration mode unicast transmit queue and specifies threshold queue sizes.
Use priority-flow-control priority command to configure the packet resolution setting on the configuration mode interface.
Use interface fabric command to configure Fabric interface.

Use service-profile command to apply the QoS profile to the Fabric interface.

Examples

These commands create a QoS profile named fabricProfile with tx queue, bandwidth, ECN, PFC and DLB values defined in it and then the profile is attached to Fabric interface of the switch.

Note: To support PFC on a particular priority, DLB is disabled for that priority.

switch(config)#qos profile fabricProfile
switch(config-qos-profile-fabricProfile)#tx-queue 0
switch(config-qos-profile-fabricProfile-txq-0)#bandwidth guaranteed 10000 kbps
switch(config-qos-profile-fabricProfile-txq-0)#random-detect ecn 
minimum-threshold 10 mbytes maximum-threshold 10 mbytes
switch(config-qos-profile-fabricProfile)#priority-flow-control priority 1 
no-drop
switch(config-qos-profile-fabricProfile)#priority-flow-control priority 6 
no-drop dlb

Applying the QoS profile on ‘interface fabric’ of the switch.

switch#configure terminal
switch(config)#interface fabric
switch(config-if-fabric)#service-profile fabricProfile

Displaying Fabric QoS Information

These show commands display the configured Fabric QoS information on the switch.

show qos profile [profile Name]: Displays the list of QoS profiles configured on the switch.
show qos interfaces fabric: Displays the profile applied on the fabric interface on the switch.

Examples

This command displays the fabricProfile profile information.

switch#show qos profile fabricProfile
qos profile fabricProfile
 priority-flow-control priority 1 no-drop
 priority-flow-control priority 6 no-drop dlb
 tx-queue 0
 bandwidth guaranteed 10000 kbps
 random-detect ecn minimum-threshold 10 mbytes maximum-threshold 10 mbytes

This command displays the profile applied on the fabric interface.
```
switch#show qos interfaces fabric
 qos profile fabricProfile
```

ACL based QoS Configuration

ACL Based QoS (DCS-7160)

The IPv4 ACL based QoS is enabled on switches through policy-map configuration. The ACL based QoS can be configured on front panel ports, port-channel interfaces on DCS-7160 series switches.

ACL based QoS on SVIs

The ACL based QoS policy applied on SVIs modify the QoS parameters for SVI traffic (L3 VLAN) based on ACL classification. The ACL based QoS on Switched Virtual Interface (SVI) ports is supported on DCS-7500E, DCS-7280E, DCS-7010, DCS-7050, DCS-7050X, DCS-7250X, DCS-7300X, DCS-7020TR.

ACL Sharing on QoS

The ACLs applied on QoS shares the hardware resources (TCAM) when potentially large QoS policy-maps are applied to multiple SVIs. For ACL based QoS on SVIs in sharing mode we share TCAM for class-maps without policer action and replicate entries for policer class-maps. The following platforms support ACL sharing on Qos - HelixFour, TridentTwo, Tomahawk, TomahawkPlus, TomahawkTwo, Trident3, TridentThreeXThree.

The QoS actions is applicable only to the routed traffic flowing through the members of the corresponding VLAN.

The steps to configure ACL based QoS is as follows:

Create a access list using ip access-list command.
Create a class map and attach it to the access list using class-map command.
Create a policy and attach the class map to the policy created, using the policy-map command.
Apply the policy to the interface using the service-policy input command.
Examples
- These command configure the access list acl1.
```
switch(config)#ip access-list acl1
switch(config-acl-acl1)#permit ip 10.1.1.1/24 any
switch(config-acl-acl1)#exit
```
- These commands configure the class map class1.
```
switch(config)#class-map match-any class1
switch(config-cmap-qos-class1)#match ip access-group acl1
switch(config-cmap-qos-class1)#exit
```
- These commands configure the policy map policy1.
```
switch(config)#policy-map policy1 
switch(config-pmap-qos-policy1)#class class1
switch(config-pmap-c-qos-policy1-class1)#set dscp 20
switch(config-pmap-c-qos-policy1-class1)#set traffic-class 2
switch(config-pmap-c-qos-policy1-class1)#exit 
switch(config-pmap-c-qos-policy1)#exit
```
- These commands apply the policy1 to the interface Ethernet 1/1.
```
switch(config)#interface Et1/1
switch(config-if-Et1/1)#service-policy input policy1 
switch(config-if-Et1/1)#exit
```
- These commands configure a ACL based QoS on the SVI interface VLAN10.
```
switch(config)#interface vlan 10
switch(config-if-Vl10)#service-policy [type qos] input policy1
```
- This command enables the resource (hardware) sharing when a ACL based QoS is attached to VLAN interface. The no form of the command disables it.
```
switch(config)#hardware access-list qos resource sharing vlan in  
```
Show Commands

The following show commands display the status of policy-maps programmed on the interface, for more information on these commands refer Quality of Service Configuration Commands.
- show policy-map [policy-name]: Displays the policy-map programming status.
- show policy-map interface interface id: Displays the policy-map that is currently programmed on the interface.
- show policy-map [policy-name] counters: Displays the policy-map traffic hits.
- show platform xp qos tcam [hits]: Displays the TCAM entries programmed for each policy-map as well as the traffic hits. The hits option is used to see the TCAM entries with nonzero traffic hits.
- show run | grep sharing: Displays if whether the ACL based QoS is enabled or disabled.
- show platform trident tcam shared vlan interface-class-id: Displays what SVIs are currently sharing the QoS policy-map.
- show platform trident tcam qos detail: Displays the list of all the SVIs that are sharing the TCAM entries.

Limitations

Maximum number of TCAM entries that can be programmed in hardware for all QoS policy-maps on the box is 1024.
Layer 4 port ranges are not supported for ACL based QoS. The ranges will be expanded into multiple TCAM rules and programmed in the hardware.
Configured policer rate should be above 1mbps and recommended burst value is 2000 bytes.
Policer action can’t be associated with policy-maps applied to Port-Channels.

The following are the limitations specific to DCS-7500E, DCS-7280E and DCS-7020TR:

User cannot apply more than 31 QoS service policies per chip on L3 interfaces.
- When different QoS service policies are applied to the SVI and its member interfaces, the behavior is indeterministic.
- When QoS service policies are applied on SVIs with partial failures due to limited hardware resources, any event that triggers a forwarding agent restart will lead to indeterministic behavior.
- When QoS service policies are applied on 2 SVIs, any event that triggers the VLAN membership change of a member interface may result in a policy-map programming failure. To change the VLAN membership, remove the interface from the first VLAN and then add it to the other.
- Outgoing COS rewrite is not supported.
- QoS policy-map counters are not supported.

The following are the limitations specific to DCS-7010, DCS-7050, DCS-7050X, DCS-7250X, DCS-7300X:

TCAM resources won’t be shared for the same policy-map applied to multiple SVIs.
Policy-map applied to a SVI will result in TCAM allocation on all chips irrespective of whether the SVI members are present or not.

When QoS service policies are applied to both SVI and its member interfaces and packets hit both policies, the behavior is indeterministic.

mc-tx-queue

The mc-tx-queue command places the switch in mc-tx-queue configuration mode to configure a multicast transmit queue on the configuration mode interface. Mc-tx-queue configuration mode is not a group change mode; running-config is changed immediately after commands are executed. The exit command does not affect the configuration.

Trident and Tomahawk switches have four multicast queues (MC0 – MC03) and eight unicast queues (UC0 – UC7), categorized into two priority groups. All queues are exposed through the CLI and are user configurable.

Priority Group 1: UC7, UC6, MC3
Priority Group 0: UC5, UC4, MC2, UC3, UC2, MC1, UC1, UC0, MC0

The exit command returns the switch to the configuration mode for the base Ethernet or port channel interface.

The no mc-tx-queue and default mc-tx-queue commands remove the configuration for the specified transmit queue by deleting the all corresponding mc-tx-queue mode commands from running-config.

platform petraA traffic-class

The platform petraA traffic-class command configures the default traffic class used by all ports on a specified chip. The default traffic class is implemented by Petra platform switches to replace qos cos and qos dscp commands. Traffic class values range from 0 to 7. The default traffic class is 1.

When platform ? returns Petra:

CoS trusted ports: inbound untagged packets are assigned to the default traffic class. Tagged packets are assigned to the traffic class that corresponds to the contents of its CoS field.
DSCP trusted ports: inbound non-IP packets are assigned to the default traffic class. IP packets are assigned to the traffic class that corresponds to the contents of its DSCP field.
Untrusted ports: all inbound packets are assigned to the default traffic class.

The no platform petraA traffic-class and default platform petraA traffic-class commands restore the default traffic class of one for all ports on the specified chips by deleting the corresponding platform petraA traffic-class command from running-config.

priority (Arad/Jericho)

The priority command specifies the priority of the transmit queue. The switch supports two queue priorities:

strict priority: contents are removed from the queue - subject to maximum bandwidth limits, before data from lower priority queues. The default setting on all queues is strict priority.
round robin priority: contents are removed proportionately from all round robin queues - subject to maximum bandwidth limits assigned to the strict priority queues.

Tx-queue 7 is set to strict priority and is not configurable.

When a queue is configured as a round robin queue, all lower priority queues also function as round robin queues. A queue’s numerical label denotes its priority: higher labels denote higher priority. Tx-queue 6 has higher priority than Tx-queue 5, and Tx-queue 0 has the lowest priority.

The priority strict and default priority commands configure a transmit queue to function as a strict priority queue unless a higher priority queue is configured as a round robin queue.

The no priority command configures a transmit queue as a round robin queue. All lower priority queues also function as round robin queues regardless of their configuration.

strict priority: contents are removed from the queue - subject to maximum bandwidth limits, before data from lower priority queues. The default setting on all other queues is strict priority.
round robin priority: contents are removed proportionately from all round robin queues - subject to maximum bandwidth limits assigned to the strict priority queues.

Trident and Tomahawk switches have eight unicast queues (UC0 – UC7) and four multicast queues (MC0 – MC03), categorized into two priority groups. Priority group 1 queues have priority over priority 0 queues. The following lists display the priority group queues in order from higher priority to lower priority.

Priority Group 1: UC7, UC6, MC3
Priority Group 0: UC5, UC4, MC2, UC3, UC2, MC1, UC1, UC0, MC0

Priority group 1 queues are strict priority queues and are not configurable as round robin. Priority 0 queues are strict priority by default and are configurable as round robin. When a queue is configured as a round robin queue, all lower priority queues automatically function as round robin queues.

The priority strict and default priority commands configure a transmit queue to function as a strict priority queue unless a higher priority queue is configured as a round robin queue.

- non-IP packets: default DSCP value specified by qos dscp determines the traffic class.
- IP packets: assigned to the traffic class corresponding to its DSCP field contents.
Petra platform switches:
- non-IP packets: assigned to default traffic class configured by platform petraA traffic-class.
- IP packets: assigned to the traffic class corresponding to its DSCP field contents.

The no qos dscp and default qos dscp commands restore the port’s default DSCP value to zero by deleting the corresponding qos dscp command from running-config.

qos random-detect ecn global-buffer (Helix)

The qos random-detect ecn global-buffer command enables ECN marking for globally shared packet memory and specifies minimum and maximum queue threshold sizes. Hosts can advertise their ECN capabilities in the ToS DiffServ field’s two least significant bits:

00 Non ECN Capable transport.
10 ECN Capable transport.
01 ECN Capable transport.
11 Congestion encountered.

Congestion is determined by comparing average queue size with queue thresholds. Average queue size is calculated through a formula based on the previous average and current queue size. Packets are marked based on this average size and the specified thresholds:

Average queue size below minimum threshold: Packets are queued normally.
Average queue size above maximum threshold: Packets are marked congestion encountered.
Average queue size between minimum and maximum thresholds. Packets are queued or marked congestion encountered. The proportion of marked packets varies linearly with average queue size:
- 0% are marked when average queue size is less than or equal to minimum threshold.
- 100% are marked when average queue size is greater than or equal to maximum threshold.
When transmitted packets are marked Non ECN Capable, congestion packets are dropped, not marked.

The no qos random-detect ecn global-buffer and default qos random-detect ecn global-buffer commands disables ECN marking for the shared buffer by removing the qos random-detect ecn global-buffer command from running-config.

Average queue size below minimum threshold: Packets are queued normally.
Average queue size above maximum threshold: Packets are marked congestion encountered.
Average queue size between minimum and maximum thresholds. Packets are queued or marked congestion encountered. The proportion of marked packets varies linearly with average queue size:
- 0% are marked when average queue size is less than or equal to minimum threshold.
- 100% are marked when average queue size is greater than or equal to maximum threshold.
When transmitted packets are marked Non ECN Capable, congestion packets are dropped, not marked.
Average queue length is tracked for transmit queues and the global pool independently. When either entity reaches its maximum threshold, all subsequent packets are marked.

The no random-detect ecn and default random-detect ecn commands disable ECN marking on the configuration mode queue, deleting the corresponding random-detect ecn command from running-config.
