Active Queue Management (AQM) via Dynamic Buffer Limiting (DBL)
AQM provides buffering control of traffic flows prior to queuing a packet into a transmit queue of a port.
This is of significant interest in a shared memory switch, ensuring that certain flows do not hog the
switch packet memory.
Note The supervisor engine supports active switch buffer management via DBL.
Except for the default class of traffic (class class-default), you can configure DBL action only when at
least one of the other queuing action is configured.
To configure class-level dbl action along with shaping in a service policy, perform this task:
Command Purpose
Step 1
Switch# configure terminal
Enters global configuration mode.
Step 2
Switch(config)# policy-map
policy-map-name
Creates a policy map by entering the policy-map name, and enter
policy-map configuration mode.
By default, no policy maps are defined.
Step 3
Switch(config-pmap)# class class-name
Specifies the name of the class whose traffic policy you want to
create or change, and enter policy-map class configuration mode.
By default, no traffic classes are defined.
Step 4
Switch(config-pmap-class)# shape
average cir-bps
Enables average-rate traffic shaping.
Specify the committed information rate, the bit rate that traffic is
shaped to, in bps. The range is 32000 to 10000000000 bps.
By default, average-rate traffic shaping is disabled.
Step 5
Switch(config-pmap-class)# dbl
Enables DBL on the queue associated with this class of traffic
Step 6
Switch(config-pmap-class)# exit
Returns to policy-map configuration mode.
Step 7
Switch(config-pmap)# exit
Returns to global configuration mode.
Step 8
Switch(config)# interface interface-id
Specifies a physical port and enter interface configuration mode.
Step 9
Switch(config-interface)#
service-policy output policy-map-name
Specifies the policy-map name, and apply it a physical interface.
Step 10
Switch(config-interface)# end
Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
