Defining Policies for the Traffic Classes Using the policy-map Command

Defining Policies for the Traffic Classes Using the policy-map Command

Router(config)# policy-map MYQOS-POLICY		Creates a policy map named "MYQOS-POLICY."
Router(config-pmap)# class VOIP		Associates the class map named "VOIP" to this policy map.
Choose one of these two:	Router(config-pmap-c)# priority 256	Traffic classified as "VOIP" is assigned to a priority queue that has a bandwidth guarantee of 256 Kbps.
	OR
	Router(config-pmap-c)# priority percent 25	Traffic classified as "VOIP" is assigned to a priority queue that has a bandwidth guarantee of 25 percent of total available bandwidth.
Router(config-pmap-c)# exit		Returns to config-pmap mode.
Router(config-pmap)# class BUSINESS-TRAFFIC		Associates the class map named "BUSINESS-TRAFFIC" to this policy map.
Choose one of these three:	Router(config-pmap-c)# bandwidth 1000	Traffic classified as "BUSINESS-TRAFFIC" is assigned to a WFQ with a bandwidth guarantee of 1000 Kbps.
	OR
	Router(config-pmap-c)# bandwidth percent 25	Traffic classified as "BUSINESS-TRAFFIC" is assigned to a WFQ with a bandwidth guarantee of 25 percent of total available bandwidth.
	OR
	Router(config-pmap-c)# bandwidth remaining 25	Traffic classified as "business-traffic" is assigned to a WFQ with a bandwidth guarantee of 25 percent of the remaining bandwidth.
Router(config-pmap-c)# exit		Returns to config-pmap mode.
Router(config-pmap)# class class-default		Associates the class map named "class-default" to this policy map. The "class-default" class map is a predefined map defined by Cisco IOS.
Router(config-pmap-c)# fair-queue		Traffic classified as "class-default" will be assigned to a queue that gets the rest of the available bandwidth.
Router(config-pmap-c)# exit		Returns to config-pmap mode.
Router(config-pmap)# exit		Returns to global configuration mode.

Note

Names used in the policy-map command are case sensitive.

Note

Up to 256 traffic classes (each defined by a class map) can be associated with a single traffic policy.

Note

If, within a policy map, you do not refer to the class-default class, any traffic that is not matched to a defined class will still be treated as class-default. The class-default will get no QoS guarantees and can have either a FIFO or a WFQ policy assigned to it.
