qos profile

Changes the minimum bandwidth percentages of the eight Weighted Round Robin (WRR) queues.
Syntax
qos profile { name7 { sp | percentage } ... name0 { sp | percentage }
no qos profile { name7 { sp | percentage } ... name0 { sp | percentage }
Command Default

The eight QoS queues on FastIron devices receive the minimum guaranteed percentages of a port’s total bandwidth, as shown in the following table. Note that the defaults differ when jumbo frames are enabled.

Parameters
name
Specifies the name of a queue. You can specify the queues in any order on the command line, but you must specify each queue.
sp
Changes the method to strict priority scheduling.
percentage
Specifies the percentage of the device outbound bandwidth that is allocated to the queue. QoS queues require a minimum bandwidth percentage of 3 percent for each priority. When jumbo frames are enabled, the minimum bandwidth requirement is 8 percent. If these minimum values are not met, QoS may not be accurate.
Modes

Global configuration mode

Usage Guidelines

When the queuing method is WRR, the software internally translates the percentages into weights. The weight associated with each queue controls how many packets are processed at a given stage through the weighted round robin algorithm.

Default Minimum Bandwidth Percentages

Queue Default minimum percentage of bandwidth
Without jumbo frames With jumbo frames
qosp7 75% 44%
qosp6 7% 8%
qosp5 3% 8%
qosp4 3% 8%
qosp3 3% 8%
qosp2 3% 8%
qosp1 3% 8%
qosp0 3% 8%

The no form of the command restores the default bandwidth percentages.

Examples

The following example changes the bandwidth percentages for the queues.

device(config)# qos profile qosp7 25 qosp6 15 qosp5 12 qosp4 12 qosp3 10 qosp2
10 qosp1 10 qosp0 6
