● Implementing ACL, ACP, ACE, and low-latency queues in Cisco Catalyst 2950 and 3550 series switches.
● Understanding classification, monitoring, and scheduling capabilities in Catalyst 4000 and 4500 IOS series switches.
● Configuring QoS in Catalyst 6500 series switches in hybrid and native modes.
● Utilizing Layer 3 QoS to classify various service levels for Catalyst 6500 MSFC and FlexWAN.
● Understanding how to implement QoS in campus network design through end-to-end scenario cases.
This book is a specialized guide on applying QoS in campus network environments. It provides readers with insights into the QoS operations of widely used devices (Cisco Catalyst series switches) in LANs. Based on the author's extensive experience at Cisco in deploying and providing technical support for Catalyst switches and QoS, this book presents QoS from a campus LAN perspective. It also explains why QoS is crucial for implementing voice, video, and other latency-sensitive applications in this environment to achieve more deterministic behavior for data flows.
The book helps readers understand how QoS works, the different components involved in successfully implementing QoS, and how QoS is implemented across various Cisco Catalyst platforms to ensure truly successful end-to-end QoS applications. Through architectural overviews, configuration examples, real-world case studies, and summaries of common pitfalls, the book clarifies how QoS operates, the key components involved in its successful implementation, and how QoS is applied across Cisco Catalyst platforms to ensure effective end-to-end QoS deployment.
This book is specifically designed for network engineers using Catalyst switches and technicians who wish to understand the QoS capabilities offered by such switches.
The book is divided into two parts: Basic QoS Concepts and Advanced QoS Concepts, consisting of 10 chapters. The content includes:
- Overview of QoS
- End-to-End QoS
- Overview of QoS Support on the Catalyst Platform
- QoS Support in the Catalyst 5000 Series Switches
- Introduction to Modular QoS Command-Line Interface
- QoS Features Available in the Catalyst 2950 and 3550 Series Switches
- QoS Features Available in the Catalyst 4000 IOS and Catalyst G-L3 Series Switches
- QoS Support in the Catalyst 6500 Series Switches
- QoS Support in the Catalyst 6500 MSFC and FlexWAN
- Study of QoS Issues in End-to-End Systems
This book is intended for network engineers using Catalyst switches and technicians who wish to understand the QoS capabilities offered by such switches.
