Page 19: Chapter
C H A P T E R Overview This chapter describes the configurable Cisco NX-OS quality of service (QoS) features on the Cisco NX-OS device. QoS allows you to classify the network traffic, police and prioritize the traffic flow, and help avoid traffic congestion in a network.
Page 20: Using Qos
Using QoS Caution Before you attempt a downgrade from Cisco NX-OS Release 5.2(x) or newer release to any release prior to Release 5.2(1), you should clear the QoS MIB and MPLS QoS defaults by using the clear qos mpls-snmp command. The downgrade might fail if the defaults are not cleared.
Page 21: Mutation
The default type of policy is qos. The Cisco NX-OS device processes the QoS policies that you define based on whether they are applied to ingress or egress packets. The system performs actions for QoS policies only if you define them under the type qos service policies.
Page 22: Sequencing Of Ingress Traffic Actions
High Availability Requirements for QoS Features The Cisco NX-OS QoS software recovers its previous state after a software restart, and it is capable of a switchover from the active supervisor to the standby supervisor without a loss of state.
Page 23: Qos Feature Configuration With Mqc
The QoS queuing features are enabled by default. Specific QoS-type features, policing and marking, are enabled only when a policy is attached to an interface. Specific policies are enabled when that policy is attached to an interface. Cisco Nexus 7000 Series NX-OS Quality of Service Configuration Guide...

Nexus 7000 Series switch. The FEX has 48 1-Gbps front-panel or server-facing ports, which are satellite ports. The FEX has four uplink ports that you can use to connect it to the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series switch. The four ports on the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series switch that connect to the uplink ports are fabric ports. Only QoS policies can be configured on the server-facing FEX ports.
Page 25: Using Modular Qos Cli
Feature History table in this chapter. Information About MQC MQC provides a language to define QoS policies. For more information about MQC commands, see the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series NX-OS Quality of Service Command Reference. You configure QoS policies by following these three steps: 1.
Page 26: Licensing Requirements
In interface configuration mode, the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series switch might accept QoS and ACL commands irrespective of the line card on which the interface host is up or down. However, you cannot enter interface submode when the line card is down because the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series switch does not accept any preconfiguration information.
Page 27: Using An Mqc Object
Using Modular QoS CLI Using an MQC Object For a complete explanation of the Cisco NX-OS licensing scheme, see the Cisco NX-OS Licensing Guide. Using an MQC Object You configure QoS and queuing policies using the MQC class-map, policy-map, and table-map objects. You cannot use table maps in queuing policies.

• On Cisco M1 series modules, it may not be possible to configure actual values for traffic shaping. For example, on a 1 Gigabit interface with 65% average shaping, the output rate on the interface goes only up to 450Mbps, whereas with 70%, it goes to 850Mbps.

Page 137 You can modify the bandwidth percentage, priority level, and shaper for a given port. You use the bandwidth command to control the bandwidth allocated to an egress queue (traffic class). For more information about the bandwidth command, see the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series NX-OS Quality of Service Command Reference.
