Bandwidth Percent

Hi All

I created the following configuration and expected IOS to warn me that I had
exceeded the reservable bandwidth but it did not warn me:

interface FastEthernet1/0
 bandwidth 128
 no ip address
 duplex auto
 speed auto
 service-policy output CBWFQ

class-map match-all TELNET
 match protocol telnet
class-map match-all HTTP
 match protocol http
class-map match-all FTP
 match protocol ftp
class-map match-all VOICE
 match protocol rtp audio
!
policy-map CBWFQ
 class VOICE
    bandwidth percent 25
 class TELNET
    bandwidth percent 25
 class FTP
    bandwidth percent 25
 class HTTP
    bandwidth percent 10

25% of the interface bandwidth gives 32Kb. Therefore after making 3
reservations of 25% I had already achieved 96Kb.
I have left the max-reserved-bandwidth to default of 75%. therefore I should
not be able to reserve more than 96Kb.
However I was able to reserve an additional 10% for HTTP traffic.

Is it on the administrator to ensure that the bandwidth percent values do
not exceed the max-res bandwidth?
What would happen now in my situation where I have more reservations than
reservable bandwidth?

Service-policy output: CBWFQ
