QoS on a 5406zl

[Udo1]

Hi all,

we need to adapt Cisco QoS Config (2960X/ 4500X) to a 5406zl switch.

Example for an 2960X Cisco Switch:

mls qos

mls qos queue-set output 1 buffers 15 30 35 20

mls qos queue-set output 1 threshold 1 100 100 100 100

mls qos queue-set output 1 threshold 2 80 90 100 400

mls qos queue-set output 1 threshold 3 100 100 100 400

mls qos queue-set output 1 threshold 4 60 100 100 400

mls qos srr-queue output cos-map queue 1 threshold 3 4 5

mls qos srr-queue output cos-map queue 2 threshold 1 2

mls qos srr-queue output cos-map queue 2 threshold 2 3

mls qos srr-queue output dscp-map queue 3 threshold 3 0

mls qos srr-queue output dscp-map queue 4 threshold 1 8

mls qos srr-queue output dscp-map queue 4 threshold 2 10 12 14

This should be applied to a HP 5406zl switch. I'm looking for sample configs or a useful documentation.

Thanks

Hello,

There is very fresh article with a lot of useful switch QoS information but only avaiable on the Arubapedia site, you can search it by title:

"Understanding QoS in ArubaOS-Switch"

Which PVOS version do you have?

The main thing you need to look out for is that in HP, by default and in their manuals they map RTP packets to IP Precedence 6 instead of 5.

So when you have traffic coming from HP to a Cisco, RTP ends up in a lower-priority queue.
