1 CHAPTER26 The (QoS) Wizard allows a network administrator to enable (QoS) on the router s WAN interfaces. QoS can also be enabled on IPSec VPN interfaces and tunnels. The QoS edit windows enables the administrator to edit policies created using the wizard. Create QoS Policy Create QoS Policy Tab Edit QoS Policy Tab Launch QoS Wizard Button The QoS Wizard allows a network administrator to enable (QoS) on the router s WAN interfaces. QoS can also be enabled on IPSec VPN interfaces and tunnels. The policy is applied to outgoing traffic on the interface. Click to add a new QoS policy. Click to edit an existing QoS policy. Click to launch the QoS wizard. The QoS wizard allows you to configure QoS policies on your WAN interfaces. 26-1

2 QoS Wizard Chapter 26 QoS Wizard This window summarizes the information that you will be providing as you complete the QoS Policy wizard. Click the Next button to begin configuring a QoS policy. Interface Selection Details Button DSCP marking (trusted) NBAR protocol discovery (untrusted) Choose the interface on which you want to configure the QoS policy in this window. This window lists WAN interfaces, and interfaces which do not have a configured outbound QoS policy. VPN interfaces are included in the list, but interfaces used for Easy VPN clients, and interfaces with an existing QoS policy are not included. QoS is not supported for Easy VPN clients. Click to view configuration details about the interface. The window displays the interface s IP address and subnet mask, names of access rules and policies applied to the interface, and connections the interface is used for. Click to use Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) markings to classify traffic. Cisco network devices such as IP phones and switches add DSCP markings to packets. Configuring DSCP on the router allows these markings to be used to classify traffic. If the Cisco IOS image on the router does not support DSCP marking, this option will not appear. Click to use Networked Based Application Recognition (NBAR) protocol discovery to classify traffic. When an application is recognized and classified by NBAR, a network can invoke services for that specific application. NBAR ensures that network bandwidth is used efficiently by classifying packets and then applying (QoS) to the classified traffic. If the Cisco IOS image on the router does not support NBAR protocol discovery, this option will not appear. 26-2

3 Chapter 26 QoS Policy Generation QoS Policy Generation Use this window to allocate the bandwidth to the different types of traffic carried on the selected interface. The percentage value that you enter represents 1000 Kbps. For example, if you enter 5%, a bandwidth of 5000 Kbps is allocated. The total percentage value for all types of traffic excluding Best Effort cannot exceed 75%. Voice Voice traffic. The default value is 33 percent of the bandwidth. Call Signalling Signalling needed to control voice traffic. The default value is 5 percent of the bandwidth. Routing Traffic generated by this and other routers to manage the routing of packets. The default value is 5 percent of the bandwidth. Management Telnet, SSH and other traffic generated to manage the router. The default value is 5 percent of the bandwidth. Transactional Examples would be traffic generated for retail applications, or database updates. The default value is 5 percent of the bandwidth. Best Effort Remaining bandwidth for other traffic, such as traffic. The default value is 47 percent of the bandwidth. The value of Best Effort is dynamically updated based on the total percentage for the other types of traffic. QoS Configuration Summary The QoS Wizard Summary window displays a summary of the QoS policy created based on your choices in the wizard. This policy map will be attached to the selected interface. Each class that the SDM QoS wizard configures is summarized in this screen. A partial display follows. showing the interface that the policy is bound to, the classification type (NBAR or DSCP), the policy name, and several of the QoS classes created. Interface: FastEthernet0/0 Classification: DSCP Policy Name: SDM-QoS-Policy

5 Chapter 26 Edit QoS Policy Policy Name List Choose a QoS policy name in this list to display the details of that policy. Interface If the displayed policy is associated with an interface, the name of that interface is displayed, for example FastEthernet 0/0. Association Click to change the association of a QoS policy with an interface. If the policy is currently associated with an interface, you can disassociate the policy, or change the traffic direction the policy is applied to. The Association button is disabled when a frame-relay serial interface is displayed in the Interface field. QoS Class Buttons The buttons above the Class List area allow you edit and reorder class information for the policy Add Button Click to add a QoS class to the policy. Edit Button Select a class and click this button to edit it in the displayed dialog. The Edit button is disabled when a read-only Qos class is selected. Delete Button Select a class and click this button to remove a QoS class from this policy. The Delete button is disabled when a read-only Qos class is selected. Cut Button Select a class and click this button to remove it from its current position in the list. Use the Paste button to place the class in the position that you want. The Cut button is disabled when a read-only Qos class is selected. Copy Button Select a class and click this button to copy the class information. The Copy button is disabled when a read-only Qos class is selected. Paste Button Click to edit copied class information and provide a new name for the class. If you choose Add this class to the policy, the class will be placed with the enabled polices in the class. The Paste button is disabled when a read-only Qos class is selected. 26-5

6 Edit QoS Policy Chapter 26 Move Up Button Choose a class and click this button to move a class up the class list. This button can only be used to move enabled classes. The Move Up button is disabled when a read-only Qos class is selected. Move Down Button Choose a class and click this button to move a class down the class list. This button can only be used to move enabled classes. The Move Down button is disabled when a read-only Qos class is selected. Class List Display The Edit QoS Policy window displays the details of the QoS Classes that make up the selected policy. Icon Column The first column may contain an icon indicating the status of a QoS policy. If this icon appears next to the QoS class, it is read-only, and it cannot be edited, deleted, or moved to another position in the class list. Class Name The name of the QoS class. Cisco SDM predefines names for QoS classes. Enabled A green checkmark indicates this class is enabled. A red icon with a white X indicates the class is not enabled for this policy. To enable a class, click Edit and enable the class in the Edit QoS Class window. Match Whether the QoS class looks for matches to Any or to All of the selected DSCP values. If you choose Any, traffic must meet only one of the match criteria. If you choose All, traffic must meet all of the match criteria. The DSCP values chosen are displayed in the DSCP column. Classification This portion of the display contains the following columns: DSCP The DSCP values that are chosen for possible match. 26-6

7 Chapter 26 Edit QoS Policy Protocols The protocols included in this QoS class. A video traffic QoS class might have protocols such as cuseeme, netshow, and vdolive. A routing traffic QoS class might have protocols such as BGP, EIGRP, and OSPF. ACL The name or number of an ACL that specifies the traffic that this QoS class applies to. Action This portion of the display contains the following columns: Apply Changes and Discard Changes Buttons Queuing This column lists the queuing type, Class Based Weighted Fair Queuing (CBWFQ), Low Latency Queuing (LLQ), or Fair Queuing, and displays the bandwidth allocated to the class. Set DSCP The DSCP value that is given to this type of traffic by the QoS class. Drop The column displays Yes if this type of traffic is to be dropped, or No if it is not to be dropped. Changes that you make in this window are not immediately delivered to the router. To deliver changes that you make, click Apply Changes. If you do not want the changes that you have made in this window to be sent to the router, click Discard Changes. Associate or Disassociate QoS Policy Interface Column Use this window to change the associations that a QoS policy has to router interfaces. This column lists the router interfaces. Note If you select the interface SDM uses to communicate with the router, you cause the connection between SDM and the router to be dropped. 26-7

8 Edit QoS Policy Chapter 26 Inbound Column Check the box in this column if you want to associate the QoS policy to inbound traffic on the chosen interface. Outbound Column Check the box in this column if you want to associate the QoS policy to inbound traffic on the chosen interface. Add or Edit a QoS Class Add this class to the policy Class Name Class Default You can create and edit QoS traffic classes, and specify whether the class is to be added to the QoS policy. Check this option to include this QoS class in QoS policy. If this option is not checked, then the selected QoS class is marked as Disabled in the Edit QoS Policy window. The QoS class name is displayed in this field if you are editing an existing class. You must enter a classname if you are adding a new class to a policy, or pasting information from a QoS class that you have copied. This option appears when there is no class-default in the QoS policy. Click Class Default if you want to add class-default the default class instead of creating a new class. There are several configuration parameters that you cannot set for class-default: Classification box You cannot specify classification criteria. Action box You cannot specify that traffic be dropped. Additionally, you can only specify that Fair Queuing be used. 26-8

9 Chapter 26 Edit QoS Policy Classification Choose the types of items and values that you want the router to examine traffic for. If you click All, traffic must match all criteria. If you click Any, traffic need only match a single criterion. You must specify a value type in the list and click Edit to specify the values. To specify that the class is to match http, edonkey, and smtp, for example, choose Protocol, and click Edit. Then choose those protocols in the Edit Match Protocol Values dialog and click OK. The protocols that you chose appear in the Value column of the Classification list. If you want the class to match traffic defined in an ACL, click Access Rule, and then click Edit. In the dialog that appears, you can choose an existing ACL, create a new one, or clear existing associations if you are editing a QoS class. Action Choose the action that the router is to take when it finds traffic that matches the specified DSCP values. Drop Drop the traffic. If you select Drop, other options in the Action area are disabled. Set DSCP Choose the DSCP value that you want the traffic to be reset to. Queuing LLQ is available if the traffic uses the RTP protocol or has a DSCP value of EF. If the traffic does not have these attributes, the LLQ option is not available. If you are adding or editing the default class class-default only Fair Queuing is available. Bandwidth Percentage The percentage value that you enter is used as an absolute percentage of the total bandwidth on the interface. Bandwidth Remaining Percentage The percentage value that you enter is used as a relative percentage of the total bandwidth on the interface. For instance, you can specify that 30 percent of the available bandwidth be allocated to one class, and 60 percent of the bandwidth be allocated to another QoS class. To use this option, all other classes must use this option. The Bandwidth Remaining Percentage option is disabled if LLQ is selected. Random Detect Enables Weighted Random Early Detection (WRED) and Distributed WRED (DWRED) on the router. This option is disabled if LLQ is selected. Random Early Detection drops packets during periods of high congestion, thus telling the source host to decrease the transmission rate. 26-9
