Introduction

This chapter provides examples for configuring control plane-based QoS policies.

Prerequisites

The configuration examples in this document were created and verified in a lab environment, and all the devices were started with the factory default configuration. When you are working on a live network, make sure you understand the potential impact of every command on your network.

This document assumes that you have basic knowledge of QoS policies.

Example: Rate limiting ICMP packets

Network configuration

As shown in Figure 1, the device receives a large number of ICMP packets from the Internet. As a result, CPU usage is high, and device performance degrades.

Configure a control plane-based QoS policy to meet the following requirements:

·     Rate limit ICMP packets sent to the control plane to 320 kbps.

·     Drop excess ICMP packets.

Figure 1 Network diagram

 

Analysis

To meet the network requirements, you must perform the following tasks:

·     Use the if-match command to classify ICMP packets into a class.

·     Use the car command to configure the rate limit value for ICMP packets and drop excess packets.

Software versions used

Table 1 shows the software versions used in this configuration example.

Table 1 Product and software version compatibility

Product	Software version
S12500X-AF Switch Series	S12500X-CMW710-R2712
S12500-X Switch Series	S12500X-CMW710-R2712
S9800 Switch Series	S9800-CMW710-R2712

 

Restrictions and guidelines

When you configure a control plane-based QoS policy to rate limit ICMP packets, follow these restrictions and guidelines:

·     By default, the predefined QoS policy is applied to the control plane. The predefined QoS policy identifies packet types by system index and uses a default rate limit value for each packet type. To display the predefined QoS policy, use the display qos policy control-plane pre-defined command.

·     You can use the if-match control-plane protocol or if-match control-plane protocol-group command to classify protocol packets.

·     You can only configure the car command or a combination of the car and accounting packet commands in the behavior associated with the class.
