Right... I think I'm getting it. I definitely had misinterpretations of
the max-reserved-bandwidth command! I actually thought for some odd
reason that the maximum bandwidth available was 75% unless max-reserved
was entered - in hindsight that was a little silly of me!
 
On the note of "rest of traffic", if you were asked in the exam to
distribute the remaining bandwidth among the remaining traffic, would
you employ a queuing strategy for class-default (such as fair-queuing),
or would you use FIFO? If the exam doesn't stipulate either way, is
there a preference?

You have at least to set max-reserved-bandwidth to 90% (20 + 40 + 30),
otherwise you won't be able to apply the policy map on the interface.
The 10% will be left for overhead and rest of traffic.

Hey Guys,

I have a question - I searched the archives and found a similar
reference, however I wasn't satisfied that the answer was definitively
defined.

If a question in the lab asks us to use CBWFQ in such a way as to
provide the following bandwidth allocations:

Class A : 20%
Class B : 40%
Class C : 30%

Then, distribute the remaining bandwidth among other classes, do we need
to modify the max-reserved-bandwidth? I tried this in my home lab and
received an error relating to the bandwidth available (which, by
default, is 75%).

What does everyone think? When would we need to change
max-reserved-bandwidth?

Alex
