QOS and the error message " CBWFQ : Not supported on subinterfaces"

Hi Guys,

Pete here, so I am doing some more labs, really focusing on IP-IP-GW interaction and QOS to try and get across the line with that, so here is the first thing I wanted to chat about

CBWFQ : Not supported on subinterfaces

Ever seen that error message before? it happens when you try and apply a QOS policy with either the priority command or the bandwidth command on an interface.

HOWEVER, what I did NOT know, is that you can use hierarchical policy maps when faced with this message, observe the below:

BR1-R2#show policy-map
Policy Map voip
Class voip
priority 20 (%)
Class class-default
fair-queue

Policy Map 512
Class class-default
Average Rate Traffic Shaping
cir 512000 (bps) bc 5120 (bits)
service-policy voip


if you now apply the policy-map 512:


interface Serial0/0/1:0.1 point-to-point
description == FR To HQ
ip address 177.0.101.2 255.255.255.0
snmp trap link-status
frame-relay interface-dlci 101
service-policy output 512
end


You can see that it is accepting the fair-queue:


BR1-R2#show policy-map int serial 0/0/1:0.1

Serial0/0/1:0.1

Service-policy output: 512

I hope this helps someone out there!
