Can a 6503 support sub-rate GE QoS?

larrycollins · ‎09-29-2008

I'm planning on ordering a 6503 with Sup32 PISA and terminate a subrate GE (150M) on the Sup card (it is the 8 port x GE)..can I do QoS with this config?

There are a lot of features within QoS. Many of these features are available in full with IOS routers. Some of the features are available in Cat6500 with regular line card. However, some other features aren't available.

Please take a moment and read the documentation

You will be relying on PFC QoS. If you want extended QoS features, you will need a SIP/SPA module.

HTH,
