The default CoS to queue mappings covered in an earlier blog is turned off with the no wrr-queue cos-map command. The priority queue will be serviced until it is empty. The priority (expedite) queue is a strict priority scheduler. If the sum of all the queues equal 100, each variable will represent a percentage.

20 represents the numerator in a fraction, while the denominator is the sum of all values used for all queues. The numbers that appear in this command are not percentages. The bandwidth is carved up as follows during congestion: Each number relates to the amount of resources the weighted round robin (WRR) scheduler will associate with each queue. The wrr-queue bandwidth command can be confusing because it looks like a long string of numbers. Older versions of auto QoS performed the following configuration on the 2950 switch: The priority queue on the 2950 is turned on differently based on the version of native IOS on the router.

The 4Q1T architecture of the 2950 switch can be converted to a 1P3Q1T architecture by turning on the priority queue (PQ).

The 1T nomenclature is very confusing because there are 6500 series line card that represent 1T as one threshold which congestion avoidance (WRED) will use to determine when the queue will drop lower priority traffic. The queue architecture is represented as 4Q1T (4 queues, one threshold to drop traffic). The 2950 has a 4 transmit (output) queue architecture with no WRED support. The 2950 is the only switch I know of that has QoS turned on by default. The 2950 supports a 1P3Q1T output only queuing architecture in which QoS processing is turned on by default.

An IOS upgrade will not bring QoS support to this switch. QoS support is integrated in the hardware (ASIC) of the switch. The 2950 EI image does not include QoS support. If the 2950 switch includes Gigabit Ethernet uplinks, the switch is an EI switch and supports QoS. The 2950 EI (enhanced image) switch supports QoS, while the 2950 SI (standard image) does not. I will discuss these switch platforms in this blog and the references section of this documents will include the direct links to the switch related queuing configuration section.
