Re: [c-nsp] 3550 as CE
Arie, Thanks. No I don't have a subrate link although I do intend to use (an aggregate) policer on the !G link. I am currently happily running 12.1(22)EA8 do you think I should upgrade to 12.2(44)SE? I only need to be able to do QoS marking based on IP acls. tia Nasir Shaikh -Original Message- From: Arie Vayner (avayner) [mailto:avay...@cisco.com] Sent: 11 January 2010 19:15 To: Shaikh,NM,Nasir,JBFQ R; cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net Subject: RE: [c-nsp] 3550 as CE Nasir, Be careful about QOS requirements. If your WAN uplink is a subrate link (i.e. a 1GigE port with an SLAN of 1GigE) you need to perform egress shaping on that interface, which is not supported on 3550 (or most LAN switches).

It's fine as long as you don't need MPLS to the PE. If you run VRFs point-to-point over an 802.1Q trunk you'll be fine. There's no MPLS except in the MEs, and no hardware GRE support on the 3550s.
