1QoS

1.1Overview

With network scale expanding and applications developing, internet traffic is dramatically increased, thus resulting in network congestion, packet drops and long transmission delay. Typically, networks treat all traffic equally on FIFO (First In First Out) delivery basis, but nowadays many special applications like VoD, video conferences, VoIP, etc, require more bandwidth or shorter transmission delay to guarantee the performance.

With QoS (Quality of Service) technology, you can classify and prioritize network traffic to provide differentiated services to certain types of traffic.

1.2Supported Features

You can configure the class of service, bandwidth control, Voice VLAN and Auto VoIP features on the switch to maximize the network performance and bandwidth utilization.

Class of Service

The switch classifies the ingress packets, maps the packets to different priority queues and then forwards the packets according to specified scheduler settings to implement QoS function.

Priority Mode: Three modes are supported, Port Priority, 802.1p Priority and DSCP Priority.

Scheduler Mode: Two scheduler type are supported, Strict and Weighted.

Bandwidth Control

Bandwidth Control functions to control the traffic rate and traffic threshold on each port to ensure network performance.

Rate limit functions to limit the ingress/egress traffic rate on each port. In this way, the network bandwidth can be reasonably distributed and utilized.

Storm Control function allows the switch to monitor broadcast packets, multicast packets and UL-frames (Unknown unicast frames) in the network. If the transmission rate of the packets exceeds the set rate, the packets will be automatically discarded to avoid network broadcast storm.

Voice VLAN and Auto VoIP

The voice VLAN and Auto VoIP features are used to prioritize the transmission of voice traffic. Voice traffic is typically more time-sensitive than data traffic, and the voice quality can deteriorate a lot because of packet loss and delay. To ensure the high voice quality, you can configure Voice VLAN or Auto VoIP.

These two features can be enabled on the ports that transmit voice traffic only or transmit both voice traffic and data traffic. Voice VLAN can change the voice packets’ 802.1p priority and transmit the packets in desired VLAN. Auto VoIP can inform the voice devices of send the packets with specific configuration by working with the LLDP-MED feature.

2Class of Service Configuration

With class of service configurations, you can:

Configure port priority

Configure 802.1p priority

Configure DSCP priority

Specify the scheduler settings

Configuration Guidelines

Select the priority mode that the ports trust according to your network requirements.

A port can use only one priority to classify the ingress packets. Three priority modes are supported on the switch: Port Priority, 802.1P Priority and DSCP Priority.

»Port Priority

In this mode, the switch prioritizes packets according to their ingress ports, regardless of the packet field or type.

»802.1P Priority

802.1P defines the first three bits in 802.1Q Tag as PRI field. The PRI values are from 0 to 7. 802.1P priority determines the priority of packets based on the PRI value.

In this mode, the switch requires packets with VLAN tag, regardless of the IP header of the packets.

»DSCP Priority

DSCP priority determines the priority of packets based on the ToS (Type of Service) field in their IP header. RFC2474 re-defines the ToS field in the IP packet header as DS field. The first six bits (bit 0-bit 5) of the DS field is used to represent DSCP priority. The DSCP values are from 0 to 63.

In this mode, the switch requires IP packets.

Specify the 802.1p to queue mapping according to your needs.

For 802.1p Priority, the packets will be forwarded according to the 802.1p to queue mapping directly.

For Port Priority and DSCP Priority, the port priority and DSCP priority will first be mapped to the 8021p priority, and then mapped to the queue according to the 802.1p to queue mapping.

Strict: In this mode, the egress queue will use SP (Strict Priority) to process the traffic in different queues. When congestion occurs, the traffic will be transmitted according to its queue priority strictly. The queue with higher priority occupies the whole bandwidth. Packets in the queue with lower priority are sent only when the queue with higher priority is empty.

Weighted: In this mode, the egress queue will use WRR (Weighted Round Robin) to process the traffic in different queues. When congestion occurs, all the traffic will be transmitted, but the bandwidth that each traffic queue occupies will be allocated based on the queue weight.

Queue Weight

Specify the queue weight for the desired queue. This value can be set only in the Weighted mode. The valid values are from 1 to 127.

Minimum Bandwidth

Specify the minimum guaranteed bandwidth for the desired queue. The valid values are from 0 to 100 and 0 means Minimum Bandwidth is disabled. If the queue bandwidth calculated according to the weight is smaller than the minimum bandwidth, the switch will be forced to allocated the minimum bandwidth to the queue, and the other queue will share the rest bandwidth based on the weight.

Management Type

Displays the Management Type for the queues. The switch supports Taildrop mode. When the traffic exceeds the limit, the additional traffic will be dropped.

3)Click Apply.

Note:

With ACL Redirect feature, the switch maps all the packets that meet the configured ACL rules to the new TC queue, regardless of the mapping relations configured in this section.

2.2.4Specifying the Scheduler Settings

Follow these steps to specify the scheduler settings to control the forwarding sequence of different TC queues when congestion occurs.

Step 1

configure

Enter global configuration mode.

Step 2

interface {fastEthernet port | range fastEthernet port-list | gigabitEthernet port | range gigabitEthernet port-list | ten-gigabitEthernet port | range ten-gigabitEthernet port-list | port-channel port-channel-id | range port-channel port-channel-list}

Enter interface configuration mode.

Step 3

qos queue tc-queue mode {sp | wrr} [weight weight]

Specify the type of scheduling used for corresponding queue. When the network congestion occurs, the egress queue will determine the forwarding sequence of the packets according to the type. By default, it is wrr mode and the all the queue weights are 1.

tc-queue: Specify the ID number of TC queue. The valid values are from 0 to 7.

sp: In sp mode, the egress queue will use SP (Strict Priority) to process the traffic in different queues. When congestion occurs, the traffic will be transmitted according to its queue priority strictly. The queue with higher priority occupies the whole bandwidth. Packets in the queue with lower priority are sent only when the queue with higher priority is empty.

wrr: In wrr mode, the egress queue will use WRR (Weighted Round Robin) to process the traffic in different queues. When congestion occurs, all the traffic will be transmitted, but the bandwidth that each traffic queue occupies will be allocated based on the queue weight.

weight: Specify the queue weight for the desired queue. This value can be set only in the wrr mode. The valid values are from 1 to 127.

Step 4

qos queue tc-queue bandwidth rate

Specify the minimum guaranteed bandwidth for the desired queue. If the queue bandwidth calculated according to the weight is smaller than the minimum bandwidth, the switch will be forced to allocated the minimum bandwidth to the queue, and the other queue will share the rest bandwidth based on the weight.

tc-queue: Specify the ID number of the TC queue. The valid values are from 0 to 7.

rate: Specify the rate for the desired TC queue. The valid values are from 1 to 100. The default value is 0.

Step 5

show qos queue interface [fastEthernet port | gigabitEthernet port | ten-gigabitEthernet port | port-channel port-channel-id]

Verify the scheduler settings..

Step 6

end

Return to privileged EXEC mode.

Step 7

copy running-config startup-config

Save the settings in the configuration file.

Note:

With ACL Redirect feature, the switch maps all the packets that meet the configured ACL rules to the new TC queue, regardless of the mapping relations configured in this section.

The following example shows how to specify the scheduler settings for port 1/0/1. Set the scheduler mode of TC1 as sp mode, set the scheduler mode of TC4 as wrr mode and set the queue weight as 5. Set the minimum bandwidth of TC4 as 10.

Switch#configure

Switch(config)#interface gigabitEthernet 1/0/1

Switch(config-if)#qos queue 1 mode sp

Switch(config-if)#qos queue 4 mode wrr weight 5

6.2Example for Voice VLAN

6.2.1Network Requirements

As shown below, the company plans to install IP phones in the office area. To ensure the good voice quality, IP phones and the computers will be connected to the different ports of the switch, and the voice traffic requires a higher priority than the data traffic.

Figure 6-5 Voice VLAN Application Topology

6.2.2Configuration Scheme

To implement this requirement, you can configure Voice VLAN to ensure that the voice traffic can be transmitted in the same VLAN and the data traffic is transmitted in another VLAN. In addition, specify the priority to make the voice traffic can take precedence when the congestion occurs.

1)Configure 802.1Q VLAN for port 1/0/1, port 1/0/2. port 1/0/3 and port 1/0/4.

2)Configure Voice VLAN feature on port 1/0/1 and port 1/0/2.

6.3Example for Auto VoIP

6.3.1Network Requirements

As shown below, the company plans to install IP phones in the office area. IP phones share switch ports used by computers, because no more ports are available for IP phones. To ensure the good voice quality, the voice traffic requires a higher priority than the data traffic.

Figure 6-12 Auto VoIP Application Topology

6.3.2Configuration Scheme

To optimize voice traffic, configure Auto VoIP and LLDP-MED to instruct IP Phones to send traffic with desired DSCP priority. Voice traffic is put in the desired queue and data traffic is put in other queues according to the Class of Service configurations. Make sure that the voice traffic can take precedence when congestion occurs.

1)Enable the Auto VoIP feature and configure the DSCP value of ports.

2)Configure Class of Service.

3)Enable LLDP-MED and configure the corresponding parameters.
