Hello,
From time to time on my network, I need to connect customer
equipment directly to the switches on my backbone where I don't have any
effective network controls for bandwidth useage and so forth. To be
sure, these cases are really limited, but each time it does occur it
exposes us to one more potential point where a subscriber/network user
can get far more than their 'fair share' and I can't do anything
effective about it. I have 2924xl's that have been in service a long
time but they have no bandwidth limiting/qos features, and what I was
thinking was if maybe we refreshed these sites with newer generation
cisco switches that do have this feature. I don't want to play games
however - the qos feature would need to be able to limit incomming and
outgoing traffic at the switchport, and do it for all ethernet protocols
and not just by ip protocol fields (example, I have some on pppoe).
I don't care to try and do any traffic classification, I really just
want to say that port fa0/15 should have 2mbps up/down and that's it.
Even better would be limiting the rates asymmetrical and in less than
1mbps increments but I don't know what's available. I do want 'cheap'
however and anything on the refurb market/ebay and with copper
10/100mbps ports that can do this would be preferable. So I guess I am
looking for both a specfic hardware reccomendation as well as a sample
qos receipe that would demonstrate to acheive this on said hardware.
Thank you. (No vendors please).
Mike-
