Configuring Implicit Constituents for Simple or Compound Shared Shaping

There are two types of implicit constituents:

• Simple implicit—Constituents are best-effort node or queues, and all nodes and queues in named traffic-class groups.
• Compound implicit—Constituents are selected automatically by the software. If a node exists in a given traffic-class group, the node is active and the queues stacked above it are inactive constituents.

Before you configure implicit constituents:

• Configure the traffic classes and traffic-class groups.

  See Configuring Traffic Classes That Define Service Levels and Configuring Traffic-Class Groups That Define Service Levels.

To configure implicit constituents:

1. Create the scheduler profile.

   host1(config)#scheduler-profile implicit

2. Configure the shared shaper.

   To configure a simple shared shaper:

   host1(config-scheduler-profile)#shared-shaping-rate 128000 bps

   To configure a compound shared shaper:

   host1(config-scheduler-profile)#shared-shaping-rate 128000 burst 32767 compound

3. (Optional) For compound shared shapers, specify the attributes for the constituent.

   host1(config-scheduler-profile)#shared-shaping-constituent weight 28

   Including this command does not affect how the system selects the compound implicit constituent. If the command is present for a constituent that was implicitly selected, the software configures that constituent using the strict-priority or weight attributes.

After you configure implicit constituents:

• Configure the scheduler hierarchy with the best-effort nodes and queues.
