Well said Pete but now the point is what is the best practice in terms of
ccie lab? If asked to guarantee 256k bandwidth for a class and physical
interface speed is T1, will it make any difference if bandwidth is not set
on interface?

I think it determines what is available from the BW command on the interface
and if this is, say, 64K and you set a policy to apply 128K to a class, it
won't let you as it will give the following error message (if the
class-default is assigned 128k and applied to int s0/1):

I/f Serial0/1 class class-default requested bandwidth 128 (kbps), available
only 48 (kbps)

So the BW needs to be correctly set (or at least set above what you need) as
far as I can see but i am open to correction on this.

Regards,

Pete

I know that default is 75% minus (bandwidth for priority queues) but if
bandwidth value is given in kbps under policy map how does it help router to
set bandwidth value under interface?

Hi Inder,

The fact that by default CBWFQ only uses 75% of available BW, this may
affect the amount you can assign to each class.

Other than that, i'm not sure.

Hi Group,

When using CBWFQ, it is necessary to set interface bandwidth?

Scenario 1---------> I guarantee bandwidth for a class using Bandwidth (
)kbps command in policy map

Policy-map policy1

Class class1

Bandwidth 256

If we still need to set bandwidth on interface then why since we are giving
guaranteed bandwidth value in policy map.

Scenario 2---------> I reserve bandwidth for a class using bandwidth percent
command in policy map

Policy-map policy1

Class class1

Bandwidth percent 25

I understand in this scenario, interface bandwidth needs to be set so that
router can calculate available bandwidth and assign to class.

Any inputs are appreciated!

Regards,

Inder
