Configuring a Parameter Definition to Calculate Hierarchical Instances

You can configure hierarchical parameters for applications where you want the system to add instances associated with child interfaces and associate the sum with a parent interface.

Hierarchical parameters have explicit instances that are associated with the logical interfaces of instance-interface types, as well as implicit instances that are associated with the logical interfaces of controlled-interface types. The system computes the values of an implicit instance as the sum of the values of the explicit instances stacked above the implicit instance.

To configure a hierarchical QoS parameter definition:

• Include the hierarchical keyword with the qos-parameter-define command.
  host1(config)#qos-parameter-define max-subscriber-bandwidth host1(config-qos-parameter-define)#
