 Hi Roger,

It sounds to me like you might want to consider using the srr-queue
bandwidth shape approach outbound on the CPE switch. This would
guarantee, limit and queue the excess. Compared to policing on the
access switch which drops the excess, shaping would queue the excess.

  Hi Bob, Reza,
  
  Thanks a lot for your answer. So, ok, I could get the desired result with
  setting the port speed, but then I can only set them to 10Mb / 100MB or even
  1000MB.
  
  Second option, using srr-queue bandwidth limit, this would cause
  rate-limiting after the specified limit is reached if I understand that
  right, isn't it?
  http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/catalyst3560/software/release/1 2.2_44_se/configuration/guide/swqos.html#wp1168422
  
  Assume the following. I have a CPE connected to a Access-Swith. On the
  access-switch I do an aggregate policing to the value which the customer
  bought. Let's assume, the customer bought 5Mb of overall traffic.
  On my CPE (still owned by the SP), I have a FastEthernet connecting to the
  Access-Switch and I do srr-queueing in outgoing direction towards the SP
  (shared mode).
  
  So now, the queueing will never kick in because in regards to the interface
  on the CPE, it is never congested (interface is 100Mb). But since I have
  policing on the Access-Switch set to 5Mb, once the Customer traffic reaches
  5Mb, it will start dropping.
  
  I would like that the CPE starts queueing according to the "policing values"
  which I've set on the Access Switch", without configuring CBWFQ. I was
  thinking that this should somehow be possible with using the BW statement or
  similar...
  
  Maybe it's a strange case but is that somehow possible?
  
  regards
  
  Roger

  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,

    Hi Group,
    
    I have a question regarding queueing on the switches, for example on a

  3560.

    If I have a FastEthernet port and I enable srr-queueing as below:
    
    mls qos
    Int Fa0/15
      srr-queue bandwidth share 40 10 20 30
    
    The configured values, reflect the percentage which the queue in case of
    congestion is allocated. Which bandwidth value does the switch take to
    calculate the real values? The Interface bandwidth, in our case 100Mb?

  If

    I configure for example bandwidth 10, are the calculations based on 10Mb?

  So

    the switch will start already start queueing (think that he is concested)
    when traffic reaches 10Mb?
    
    many thanks in advance
    
    Roger
