    Example: Configuring CoS on EX Series Switches

    Configure class of service (CoS) on your switch to manage traffic so that when the network experiences congestion and delay, critical applications are protected. Using CoS, you can divide traffic on your switch into classes and provide various levels of throughput and packet loss. This is especially important for traffic that is sensitive to jitter and delay, such as voice traffic.

    This example shows how to configure CoS on a single EX Series switch in the network.

    Requirements

    This example uses the following hardware and software components:

    • EX3200 and EX4200 switches
    • Junos OS Release 9.0 or later for EX Series switches

    Overview and Topology

    This example uses the topology shown in Figure 1.

    Figure 1: Topology for Configuring CoS

    Topology for Configuring
CoS

    The topology for this configuration example consists of EX3200 and EX4200 switches at the access layer.

    The EX Series access switch is configured to support VLAN membership. Interfaces ge-0/0/0 and ge-0/0/1 are assigned to the voice VLAN (voice-vlan) for two VoIP phones. Switch port ge-0/0/2 is assigned to the camera VLAN (camera-vlan) for the surveillance camera. Switch ports ge-0/0/3, ge-0/0/4, ge-0/0/5, and ge-0/0/6 are assigned to the server VLAN (server-vlan) for the servers hosting various applications such as those provided by Citrix, Microsoft, Oracle, and SAP.

    Table 1 shows the VLAN configuration components.

    Note: This example shows how to configure CoS on a standalone EX Series switch. This example does not consider across-the-network applications of CoS in which you might implement different configurations on ingress and egress switches to provide differentiated treatment to different classes across a set of nodes in a network.

    To quickly configure CoS, copy the following commands and paste them into the switch terminal window:

      user@switch# set ge-0/0/6 unit 0 family ethernet-switching filter input app_class
    21. Configure schedulers:

      user@switch# set ge-0/0/20 scheduler-map ethernet-cos-map
    24. Apply queue shaping for the best-effort queue:
      [edit]
      user@switch# set class-of-service schedulers voice-sched-queue-shap shaping-rate 30m
      user@switch# set class-of-service scheduler-maps sched-map-be forwarding-class best-effort scheduler voice-sched-queue-shap
      user@switch# set class-of-service interfaces ge-0/0/2 scheduler-map sched-map-be

      Shaping rate: 100000000 bps
      ...
      ...

    Meaning

    In the output for the show interfaces ge-0/0/0 statistics command, the Traffic statistics: field shows that egress traffic is ~100 Mbps (100,223,104 bps). The output for the show class-of-service interface ge-0/0/0 command shows that the shaping rate is 100,000,000 bps, which indicates that a port shaping of 100 Mbps is applied to the ge-0/0/0 interface.

    Verifying That Queue Shaping Has Been Applied

    Purpose

    Verify that the queue shaping has been applied to the best-effort queue.

    Action

    Following is the output before queue shaping is applied to the best-effort queue when there is egress traffic of 400 Mpbs exiting on that interface:

    Meaning

    In the output for the show interfaces ge-0/0/2 statistics command, the Traffic statistics: field shows that the egress traffic is ~30 Mbps (30,097,712 bps). The output for the show class-of-service scheduler-map sched-map-be command, shows that a shaping rate of 30,000,000 bps (that is 30 Mbps) is applied to the best-effort queue.
