EOMPLS QOS help needed

ahsanrasheed1 · ‎12-26-2013

Any one can guide me how to make qos in EOMPLS L2VPN. After making tunnel between two client end devices how to make QOS between each other bidirectional.how to make qos in core of mpls backbone with uniform mode. i also want the configs if possible. I think any core service provider engineer can better help me.

CE1------>PE1------>P------->PE2------->CE2(how to make qos from ce1 to ce2 and also core of mpls backbone.

Specifically i am having problem in mapping the layer 2 qos to layer 3 qos(cos to dscp and dscp to exp mapping). how to do qos mapping on CE and PE.

how to apply qos mapping on CE and PEspecifically with cos.

Waiting for replies.

Hi Rasheed,

The default behavior for the EoMPLS is to use a value of “0” in the EXP bits of the VC and tunnel labels. Ingress packet classification can be COS or DSCP/Prec. Default behavior can be changed by using “set mpls experimental imposition ” at ingress

On the PE, you need to match packet with classification and mark it with MPLS EXP bit value, and on egress side, mark with original value.

There is a section for EoMPLS QoS on below document, you may need to go through it for detailed understanding

Hi Sandip,

First of all i would like to say thanks for you reply and help. Really appreciated.

I also would like to request all cisco members to kiindly guide me on this case. I am stuck on this qos issue of eompls. Requesting to all CCIE's, kindly guide me.

Sandip, i have already checked with the things you mentioned.

I have already checked with below commands on PE with classification of cos for port based eompls

On PE:

int fastEthernet 0/0

no ip address

xconnect 5.5.5.5 100 encapsulation mpls

service-policy input foo

no shutdown

!

Class-map cos

match cos 5

Policy-map foo

class cos

set mpls experimental imposition 5

Because PE router will get frame not IP packet. we need to match cos but ccos is not working on PE router.I am uanble to see traffic with cos5, just see traffic value of 0 with EXP.

I am getting error, you can match cos on this interface.

any conversion needed for cos to exp or cos to dscp or dscp to exp ?

Also any need to enable qos globally with mls qos or mls qos trust cos on interface of customer facing port. any need to configure port of client port also for msl qos trust cos.Also 3725 routers not supported mls qos trust cos or mls qos or mls qos trust.Need some high end routers. I have also checked with 6503 classification of cos is also not working.

Also which routers i can check with. mean ios.

waiting for replies.

Hi Sandeep & all other members,

Kindly reply me and guide me how to fix this issue.

Hi Ahsan,

Match CoS to QoS and then QoS to Exp bits.

Regards,

Sandip

ahsanrasheed1 · ‎01-03-2014

Hi Sandeep,

Thanks for reply. Can you elaborate your answer in detail with some example. Because i have already checked cos to exp mapping on PE and its not working. I only see traffic in class-default mean with 0 exp which is by default behaviour.

On PE:

int fastEthernet 0/0

no ip address

xconnect 5.5.5.5 100 encapsulation mpls

service-policy input foo

no shutdown

!

Class-map cos

match cos 5

Policy-map foo

class cos

set mpls experimental imposition 5

Hi Sandeep,

I have used this scenario. kindly check it below. Using 5 routers. CE1(router with sub int dot1q), PE1(router), P(router), PE2(router), CE2(router with sub int Dot1q). i have made policy and classification of ip dscp on PE routers but see only class-default traffic not with exp 5 or dscp ef. is there any mistake on config or any changes need to be made.

Sandip Rathod · ‎01-03-2014

Hi Ahsan,

1) Make sure you are sending traffic from CE with DSCP EF, Can you also post output for the same

2) Can you try with removing "service-policy input foo" from subinterface to main interface - Fa0/0/1

3) mls qos is enabled ?

Which image are you using on PE1 router ?

Sandip

Hi Sandeep,

I really appreciated your help and i am really thankful of you. I am stuck on two things. can you guys can guide me how to solve this issue, need to correct any config on PE2 or PE1.

CE1---->PE1------->P-------->PE2--------->CE2(all four router i am using with image

3700 Software (C3725-ADVENTERPRISEK9-M), Version 12.4(15)T7. not using mls qos command because not supported on this ios.

1)I am unable to see any traffic on PE2 router on output interface although i can see traffic on input interface of PE2 router.this is the major issue of not seeing traffic on output interface.

2)After configuring PE2 configuration of qos, I am unable to see traffic on PE1 output interface although i can see traffic on input interface.

Kindly guide me how to fix these two issues.

Anyone cisco enginner or ccie engineer can guide me on this issue.

Hi Rasheed,

Sorry for delay as yesterday occuiped with lots of stuff.

First on PE1, I do not see any QoS action set on output policy-map, can you please check this ?

Service-policy input: EF

Class-map: LOO1 (match-any)

9 packets, 1062 bytes

5 minute offered rate 0 bps, drop rate 0 bps

Match: cos 5

9 packets, 1062 bytes

5 minute rate 0 bps

On PE2 output policy you don;t see any traffic match.

If there is no traffic match on QOS_GROUP_5, atleast we should see traffic match on class-default. or if its dropped, we should see match against drop, but we don;t see any packet match against any classe on PE2 output policy

Do you see traffic coming on PE2 output interface ?

Service-policy output: mpls2ip

Class-map: QOS_GROUP_5 (match-all)

0 packets, 0 bytes

5 minute offered rate 0 bps, drop rate 0 bps

Match: qos-group 5

QoS Set

cos 5

Packets marked 0

Class-map: class-default (match-any)

0 packets, 0 bytes

5 minute offered rate 0 bps, drop rate 0 bps

Match: any

From configuration persective it looks, ok, I would suggest check step by step on each interface

1) Traffic on CE1 output interface, it's matching against cos 5, working perfectly

2) Match cos5 and set qos on PE1 intput interface

3) match qos and set mpls on PE1 output interface

4) match mpls and set qos on PE2 input interface

5) match qos and set cos on PE2 output interface

And vice versa for reverse traffic, if you still face issue I would suggest to raise TAC case, there might be some BUG

Sandip

Hi Sandeep,

Thanks for your reply. i really appreciated.Can you or other guys guide me i am stuck in one major issue.

you know i was using this topology in eompls qos CE1(2811router)------->PE1(2811router)--------->P(2811router)---------->PE2(2811router)--------->CE2(2811router).When i am using this topology i can see and mark the traffic on each router.

when i am using this topology(CE1(2811router)------->PE1(2811router)--------->P(6523 layer3 switch)---------->PE2(2811router)-------------->CE2(2811router)with 6523 layer3 switch i am unable to see any traffic mark with exp5 or exp, see traffic on class-default with exp0.

0n 6523 switch config:

class-map exp5

match mpls experimental topmost 5

policy-map foo

class exp5

int gi1/1

ip 192.168.23.3

mpls ip

mtu 1546

service-policy output foo

int gi1/2

ip 192.168.34.4

mpls ip

mtu 1546

service-policy output foo

i can see traffic marked on ce1, pe1 but no traffic marked or seen on router P, PE2 and CE2.

I have triedon 6523 switch, mls qos command globally on 6523.also tried on interface trust command: mls qos trust cos , mls trust mpls exp topmost. but still no success.

Any additional configuration needed on 6523 switch?
