RE: question regarding queueing on Catalyst

Bob,

Thanks for your reply.
I got a little confused, can you please kindly correct me?

1) default settings for a 3560's interface is :
 Shaped queue weights (absolute) : 25 0 0 0
 Shared queue weights : 25 25 25 25

2) The shape weight values are "inverse absolute" (e.g shape 25 means 1/25
of interface bandwidth which is 4Mbps for a 100Mbps interface)
3) Queues 2,3,4 will share the remaining bandwidth of (100-4==96) 96Mbps.
They share it equally (96/3=32) 32Mbps each queue.

Thanks
Reza Toghraee

Hi Roger,

In my experience you cannot induce congestion on this switch by changing
the software reference bandwidth on the interface. Instead, try
changing the port speed, or do an "srr-queue bandwidth limit" command.

Remember that the configured values for the srr-queue bandwidth share
command are not literally percentages, but relative weights. They
appear as percentages only when they happen to add to 100. You might
want to check the command reference on this one. Also keep in mind that
shaped weights override shared weights. By default queue 1 has a shaped
weight of 25, so the "40" weight in your example would not be used
unless you zero-out the default shaped weight for queue 1. With the
default shaping weights, queues 2, 3, and 4 would share remaining
bandwidth in the ratio 10/60, 20/60 and 30/60, respectively.

HTH,
