The QoS: Policies Aggregation feature supports Modular QoS CLI (MQC) configuration of default traffic classes in policy maps on different subinterfaces to be queued as a single, user-defined traffic class at the main-interface policy map. It is most useful in quality of service (QoS) configurations where you have several subinterface policy maps on the same physical interface and you want identical treatment of the default traffic classes on those subinterfaces.
Beginning in Cisco IOS XE Release 2.6, the QoS: Policies Aggregation feature is enhanced to support queueing aggregation at the primary interface for other traffic classes, including Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) traffic classes such as the expedited forwarding (EF), Assured Forwarding 1 (AF1), and AF4 traffic classes. With this enhancement, any traffic classes from VLAN subinterfaces can share a common queue for that traffic class at the main-interface policy map. Other enhancements include the ability to configure and show drop statistics that occur at the aggregate level for these classes.
This feature is configured using the MQC.
All traffic over the main interface should come through one or more subinterfaces.
Applies only when multiple subinterfaces with policy maps are attached to the same physical interface. This feature cannot be used to collectively classify default traffic classes or other traffic classes of policy maps on different physical interfaces.
Certain traffic class configuration prior to Cisco IOS XE Release 2.6 at the subinterface policy map and main-interface policy map will have different behavior and queueing results. See the "Understanding the QoS Policies Aggregation MQC" section on page 3 and the "Differences Between the Original Feature and the MQC Support for Multiple Queue Aggregation" section on page 4.
The service-fragment keyword is only supported on the Gigabit Ethernet interfaces and not on Fast Ethernet interfaces.
QoS: Policies Aggregation introduces the idea of fragments in class definition statements. A default traffic class definition statement can be marked as a fragment within a policy map. Other policy maps on the same interface can also define their default traffic class statements as fragments, if desired. A separate policy map can then be created with a service-fragment class definition statement that will be used to apply QoS to all of the fragments as a single group.
The figure below provides an example of one physical interface with three attached policy maps that is not using fragments. Note that each policy map has a default traffic class that can only classify traffic for the default traffic within its own policy map.
The figure below shows the same configuration configured with fragments and adds a fourth policy map with a class definition statement that classifies the fragments collectively. The default traffic classes are now classified as one service-fragment group rather than three separate default traffic classes within the individual policy maps.
When fragments are configured for Gigabit Etherchannel bundles, the policy-maps that have a default traffic class configured using the fragment keyword are attached to the member subinterface links, and the policy-maps that have a traffic class configured with the service-fragment keyword to collectively classify the fragments is attached to the physical interface.
All port-channel subinterfaces configured with fragments that are currently active on a given port-channel member link will use the aggregate service fragment class on that member link. If a member link goes down, the port-channel subinterfaces that must switch to the secondary member link will then use the aggregate service fragment on the new interface.
Only the default class statement in a policy map can be configured as a fragment.
Fragments work only when multiple policy maps are attached to the same physical interface. This process cannot be used to classify default traffic classes as fragments on policy maps on different physical interfaces.
Only queuing features are allowed in classes where the fragment keyword is entered, and at least one queuing feature must be entered in classes where the fragment keyword is used.
A policy map with a class using the fragment keyword can only be applied to traffic leaving the interface (policy maps attached to interfaces using the service-policy output command).
The fragment keyword cannot be entered in a child policy map.
A service fragment can be used to collectively classify fragments only from the same physical interface. Fragments from different interfaces cannot be classified using the same service fragment.
Only queueing features are allowed in classes where the service-fragment keyword is entered, and at least one queueing feature must be entered in classes when the service-fragment keyword is used.
A policy map with a class using the service-fragment keyword can be applied only to traffic leaving the interface (policy maps attached to interfaces using the service-policy output command).
A class configured using the service-fragment keyword cannot be removed when it is being used to collectively apply QoS to fragments that are still configured on the interface. If you wish to remove a class configured using the service-fragment keyword, remove the fragment traffic classes before removing the service fragment.
The service-fragment keyword cannot be entered in a child policy map.
The QoS: Policies Aggregation MQC Support for Multiple Queue Aggregation at Main Interface feature extends the previous support of aggregation of class-default traffic using the fragment and service-fragment configurations, to other user-defined traffic classes in a subinterface policy-map, such as DSCP-based traffic classes, that are aggregated at the main-interface policy-map as shown in the figure below.
When no queueing is configured on a traffic class in the subinterface policy-map, the account command can be used to track queueing drops that occur at the aggregate level for these classes, and can be displayed using the show policy-map interface command.
Although some of the configuration between the original QoS policies aggregation feature and enhancements in the MQC Support for Multiple Queue Aggregation at Main Interface feature appears similar, there are some important differences in the queueing behavior and the internal data handling.
For example, both configurations share and require the use of the fragment keyword for the class class-default command in the subscriber policy map, as well as configuration of the service-fragment keyword for a user-defined class in the main-interface policy map to achieve common policy treatment for aggregate traffic. However, the use of this configuration results in different behavior between the original and enhanced QoS policies aggregation implementation:
In the original implementation (prior to Cisco IOS XE Release 2.6) using the fragment and service-fragment architecture, all default class traffic and any traffic for classes without defined queueing features at the subinterface goes to the class-default queue and is aggregated into a common user-defined queue and policy defined at the main policy map. Subinterface traffic aggregation (for example, from multiple subscribers on the same physical interface) ultimately occurs only for a single class, which is the default class.
Here are the feature characteristics:
All subinterface traffic classes have queues. However, when a traffic class in the subinterface policy-map is not configured with any queueing feature (commands such as priority , shape , bandwidth , queue-limit , fair-queue , random-detect , and so on, are not configured), the traffic is assigned to the class-default queue.
Default class traffic from multiple subinterfaces can be aggregated into a common policy map at the main interface when you use the fragment keyword at the subinterface class class-default configuration, and service-fragment configuration at the main-interface class.
No classification occurs or is supported at the main-interface policy map for any subinterface traffic classes that do not use the fragment and service-fragment configuration.
Queueing occurs at the subinterface for other traffic classes defined with queueing features in the subinterface policy map.
In the enhanced implementation (beginning with Cisco IOS XE Release 2.6) of the MQC Support for Multiple Queue Aggregation at Main Interface feature also using the fragment and service-fragment architecture, all default class traffic also goes to the class-default queue and is aggregated into a common user-defined queue and policy defined at the main policy map. However, other classes, such as DSCP-based subscriber traffic classes, are also supported for an aggregate policy. These traffic classes do not support any queues or queueing features other than account at the subscriber policy map. The use of the fragment and service-fragment architecture enables these other subscriber traffic classes (from multiple subscribers on the same physical interface) to achieve common policy treatment for aggregate traffic that is defined for those same classes at the main policy map.
Here are the feature characteristics:
Subinterface traffic classes without configured queueing features do not have queues at the subscriber level.
Default class traffic from multiple subinterfaces can be aggregated into a common policy map at the main interface when you use the fragment keyword at the subinterface class class-default configuration, and service-fragment configuration at the main-interface class. This configuration additionally enables support for other subinterface traffic classes (such as DSCP-based classes) to be aggregated into a common policy-map at the main interface.
Other class traffic from multiple subinterfaces can be aggregated into a common policy map at the main interface, according to the following configuration requirements:
You enable this behavior by using the fragment keyword at the subinterface class class-default configuration, and service-fragment configuration at the main-interface class (this also enables aggregation of the default class).
You do not configure any queueing features at the subinterface policy-map for the other traffic classes.
Queueing occurs at the main-interface policy map for other subinterface traffic classes as an aggregate.
Optional tracking of statistics is supported using the account command for other traffic classes in the subinterface policy map.
In Cisco IOS XE Release 2.6 the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers support the addition of bytes as a unit of configuration for both queue limits and WRED thresholds. Therefore, as of this release, packet-based and byte-based limits are configurable, with some restrictions.
This procedure shows only how to configure the default traffic class as a fragment within a policy-map. It does not include steps on configuring other classes within the policy-map, or other policy-maps on the device.
 Note |
This example shows a sample configuration that is supported in releases prior to Cisco IOS XE Release 2.6. |
In the following example, a fragment named BestEffort is created in policy-map subscriber1 and policy-map subscriber 2. In this example, queuing features for other traffic classes are supported at the subinterface policy-map.

After configuring default class statements as fragments in multiple subinterface policy maps, a separate policy map with a class statement using the service-fragment keyword must be configured to apply QoS to the class statements configured as fragments.
This task is documented in the "Configuring a Service Fragment Traffic Class" section on page 8.
This task describes how to configure a service fragment traffic class statement within a policy-map. A service fragment traffic class is used to apply QoS to a collection of default class statements that have been configured previously in other policy-maps as fragments.
This procedure assumes that fragment default traffic classes were already created. The procedure for creating fragment default traffic classes is documented in the “Configuring a Fragment Traffic Class in a Policy-Map” section.
Like any policy-map, the configuration does not manage network traffic until it has been attached to an interface. This procedure does not cover the process of attaching a policy-map to an interface.
Note |
A service fragment can be used to collectively classify fragments only from the same physical interface. Fragments from different interfaces cannot be classified using the same service fragment. Only queueing features are allowed in classes where the service-fragment keyword is entered, and at least one queueing feature must be entered in classes when the service-fragment keyword is used. A policy-map with a class using the service-fragment keyword can be applied only to traffic leaving the interface (policy-maps attached to interfaces using the service-policy output command). A class configured using the service-fragment keyword cannot be removed when it is being used to collectively apply QoS to fragments that are still configured on the interface. If you wish to remove a class configured using the service-fragment keyword, remove the fragment traffic classes before removing the service fragment. The service-fragment keyword cannot be entered in a child policy-map. |

The policy map (traffic policy) must be attached to an interface. This task is documented in the "Attaching a Traffic Policy to an Interface Using the MQC" section in chapter "Applying QoS Features Using the MQC."
To properly configure QoS: Policies Aggregation on a Gigabit Etherchannel bundle, the following actions must be completed:
Service-fragment traffic classes must be configured and attached to the main physical interfaces.
Fragment traffic classes must be configured and attached to the member link subinterfaces.
This procedure assumes that a service fragment traffic class has already been created. A service fragment traffic class cannot be configured without configuring a fragment class. The procedure for creating a fragment class is documented in the “Configuring a Fragment Traffic Class in a Policy-Map” section. The procedure for creating a service fragment traffic classes is documented in the “Configuring a Service Fragment Traffic Class” section.
These instructions do not provide any details about the options that can be configured for Gigabit Etherchannel member link subinterfaces. These instructions document only the procedure for attaching a policy-map that already has a fragment traffic class to a member link subinterface.

Some backward-compatibility exists between support of policies aggregation feature configuration in Cisco IOS XE Release 2.6 and prior Cisco IOS XE software releases. However, we recommend that you follow these upgrade guidelines for any physical interface where you want to move to the QoS: Policies Aggregation MQC Support for Multiple Queue Aggregation at Main Interface feature configuration.
For best results, you should upgrade any service policies configuration that you implemented prior to Cisco IOS XE Release 2.6, to the latest supported configuration.
The original and enhanced QoS: Policies Aggregation feature configuration can only reside on the same Cisco ASR 1000 Series Router if the mixed configuration does not reside on the same physical interface. In other words, you can support the original configuration for one physical interface, and the enhanced configuration on a different physical interface.
The QoS: Policies Aggregation MQC Support for Multiple Queue Aggregation at Main Interface feature requires the same configuration of a fragment traffic class as the original feature, using the class class-default fragment command to enable and then define all subinterface policies aggregation, both for the default traffic class and the other traffic classes.
In the QoS: Policies Aggregation MQC Support for Multiple Queue Aggregation at Main Interface feature, the queueing features for the aggregate class queues (with traffic from the corresponding classes identified at the subinterfaces), are configured at the main-interface policy map.
Upgrading your service policies to support the QoS: Policies Aggregation MQC Support for Multiple Queue Aggregation at Main Interface feature assumes the following network conditions:
The corresponding class-map statements appropriate for your network traffic are already configured.
QoS service policies aggregation has been previously configured and applied for the main-interface policy map for a given physical interface and its corresponding subinterfaces, or subscriber interfaces, prior to Cisco IOS XE Release 2.6 for the default traffic class.
A port on the same physical interface where you have previously configured the service policies aggregation feature prior to Cisco IOS XE Release 2.6 needs to support the configuration for the QoS: Policies Aggregation MQC Support for Multiple Queue Aggregation at Main Interface.
|
Step 1 |
Configure the service policies for the QoS: Policies Aggregation MQC Support for Multiple Queue Aggregation at Main Interface feature. See the tasks described in the "Configuring QoS Policies Aggregation MQC Traffic Classes" section on page 18. |
|
Step 2 |
Remove any service policies configured prior to Cisco IOS XE Release 2.6 for any prior configured policies aggregation features using the no service-policy and no policy-map commands as follows:
|
|
Step 3 |
Apply the new service policies for the QoS: Policies Aggregation MQC Support for Multiple Queue Aggregation at Main Interface feature at the appropriate interfaces using the service-policy output command as follows:

Step 5 |
account [drop ] Example: |
(Optional) Enables collection of statistics for packets matching the traffic class where this command is configured, where the drop keyword collects all packet drop statistics. Collection of drop statistics is the default. |
The following example configures the EF traffic class for policies aggregation at the subscriber subinterface with collection of drop statistics:
policy-map subscriber1
class EF
accountPerform this task for all traffic classes that you want to aggregate, then perform the task in the "Configuring the Fragment Traffic Class on a Subinterface" section on page 19.
If you are upgrading your subinterface policy-map configuration from an earlier implementation of the QoS: Policies Aggregation feature, then remove the current service-policy from the subinterface using the no service-policy command.
Apply the new policy map to outbound traffic on the subinterface using the service-policy output command.

Enters a QoS configuration command. The queueing features that are currently supported are bandwidth , priority , shape , and random-detect exponential-weighting-constant . Multiple QoS queueing commands can be entered. |
The following example configures three traffic classes at the main-interface policy map, along with the aggregate service-fragment data class:
policy-map main-interface

After configuring multiple default class statements as fragments in a policy-map, a separate policy-map with a class statement using the service-fragment keyword must be configured to apply QoS to the class statements configured as fragments.
This process is documented in the “Configuring a Service Fragment Traffic Class” section.
The QoS: Policies Aggregation MQC Support for Multiple Queue Aggregation at Main Interface feature also supports configuration of the enhanced service policies on Gigabit Etherchannels according to the subscriber and main-interface configuration guidelines described for this enhancement.

This example shows a sample configuration that is supported in the original QoS: Policies Aggregation feature prior to Cisco IOS XE Release 2.6. |
In the following example, QoS: Policies Aggregation is used to define a fragment class of traffic to classify default traffic using the default traffic class named BestEffort. All default traffic from the policy maps named subscriber1 and subscriber2 is part of the fragment default traffic class named BestEffort. This default traffic is then shaped collectively by creating a class called data that uses the service-fragment keyword and the shape command.
Note the following about this example:
The class-name for each fragment default traffic class is "BestEffort."
The class-name of "BestEffort" is also used to define the class where the service-fragment keyword is entered. This class applies a shaping policy to all traffic forwarded using the fragment default traffic classes named "BestEffort."

This example shows a sample configuration that is supported beginning in Cisco IOS XE Release 2.6. |
At the main-interface policy map called Port-channel_1_main_policy, the queueing features for the DSCP-based subscriber traffic classes are configured. You can also see the use of byte-based queue limits and random-detect thresholds implemented at the main-interface queues.
The service fragment called Port-channel_BE is also configured to aggregate the traffic from the subscriber class-default fragment class.

!In this example, the policy map Port-channel_1_subscriber is configured with a fragment class named Port-channel_BE. (For simplicity, only a single subinterface policy is shown.) This enable queueing and policies aggregation for the subscriber traffic classes at the main-interface policy map.
The Port-channel_1_subscriber policy map identifies the DSCP-based traffic classes of EF, AF4, and AF1 and enables collection of drop statistics for those classes.

Cisco IOS XE Release 2.1 |
This feature was introduced on Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers. The following command was modified: class (policy-map) . |
|
QoS: Policies Aggregation MQC Support for Multiple Queue Aggregation at Main Interface |
Cisco IOS XE Release 2.6 |
This feature was enhanced to support queueing aggregation at the primary interface for other traffic classes, including DSCP-based classes such as EF, AF1, and AF4 traffic classes. With this enhancement, other traffic classes from different subinterfaces share a common queue for that traffic class. Other enhancements include the ability to configure and show per-subscriber drop statistics on the aggregate queues and byte-based queue limits and WRED thresholds. In Cisco IOS XE Release 2.6, support for the CISCO-CLASS-BASED-QOS-MIB was added. The following commands are new or modified: account , show policy-map interface . |
