EIGRP will do unequal cost load balancing.

Sorry, I should have been more specific.. I know EIGRP can do unequal cost load-balancing. What I am wondering is if I can do it over two multilinks. I've never tried it and wanted some feedback. If it doesn't work I am not going to bother migrating both multilinks into one router. I would rather have two routers each with a multilink for fail-over purposes.

I don't see why not. Multilink PPP results in a logical interface, you can put whatever bandwidth value on it you want & tune EIGRP as needed.

Set it up in GNS3 and see what happens.

QoS is hard, and I'm practicing, but I have some questions.

I have an 851w for an internet router. I can't do custom QoS on it (Software image doesn't support it because Cisco wants you to buy an 871 for that), but I know that it supports QoS from say a Cisco IP Phone or something like that. However I can't define Class-maps or Policy-maps on it.

I do have a 3560G switch though, and it does support full QoS etc. So what I want to do is prioritize all traffic over bittorrent traffic. I'm thinking that because the port is 100Mb to the router and my internet connection is around 6mb down and 512kb up that I can simulate congestion on that link by limiting the bandwidth of the switchport. Not sure if I can make it only limit the upload though.

The problem with bittorrent is saturating the upstream. The downstream rarely gets overwhelmed, but I know the 512up gets obliterated pretty good. I also know that I can limit my upload via the bittorrent client, but I'd rather have a more flexible solution so that during the day when no one is home we can get our full 40K up.

So does someone know how to make this work? If I can just figure out how to make the 851 think I've got some Cisco IP Phones connected or some otherway of enabling QoS that will help a lot too. Any ideas?

If CBWFQ is not enabled in your image, how about Priority Queuing?

Basically you want to tag the traffic inbound from the lan (and on the switch if you run dot1q between switch and router) and apply the policy on your wan interface.

If you can't classify the traffic (no CBWFQ) with layer 2 or 3 QoS bits you want to downgrade, you can still use access lists. Make an access list with all the traffic you want to give priority to like esp, or whatever your IP phone is using to get to the server, web surfing, etc. By default the traffic not classified in that list will get the normal queue.

You get 4 queues; High, Medium, Normal, Low

3660-1#sh queueing interface serial 3/0
Interface Serial3/0 queueing strategy: priority

Output queue utilization (queue/count)
high/350169 medium/0 normal/19073366 low/0

This is some T1 that is doing a simple queue to make sure some guy's IP phone calls aren't lovely when others are banging away at the circuit grabbing source code or something not as time sensitive.

If the router says it supports QoS, I would assume that it will read various QoS settings (layer 2 802.1q cos tags, layer 3 IP Precedence and DSCP bits), and 'trust' the value. Not sure how it would act on it if its crippled. Maybe there is a default config and you cant touch it?

e: In a perfect world, your IP phone would hit the switchport on a dot1q trunk. The phone is probably throwing out dot1q cos 5 tags if you set it to trunk. If it is coming out with a cos of 1 you can just change the tag right there to a 5 on ingress. The PC is on another switchport, banging away at a cos of 1. When the IP phone frame exits the switch into the router once again they agree on the cos5 for the ethernet frame that contains the voice stream. The router sees the cos5 tag, checks it's queuing strategy and policy and sticks it in the high priority queue like the guy's vpn in the example above. For traffic coming within a node, just classify it in an access list by inclusion or exclusion upstream.

e2: Not sure why I thought the guy had DSL. See if you can do show commands against the default global policy.

Yep you are right, my post was pretty cluttered. I had thought he was eventually going to get one in, but wanted to fake out the 851 since apparently the product lit says it can support some basic QoS. The 'IP Phone' here is the end station what he is trying to tag with Precedence ToS and DSCP Values to fake out the 851. I could have been more clear but thats what I get for trying to make an all in one QoS post.

I still find it sad that they crippled the 851 like that. You can get a 2621 doing everything (DMVPN, AES192, OSPF, NAT/PAT, RAS VPN, CBWFQ/PQ on a FiOS 20/5 @ 30 percent on the CPU while encrypting an IP phone conference hosting 5 callers) except the wireless for 50 bucks, how lovely. I just checked an 871 (c870-advipservicesk9-mz.124-22.T.bin) and was able to set up a quick class and policy map, and give it priority. Looking at the images for the 851 (c850-advsecurityk9-mz.124-15.T8.bin) you would think some of the same features were available. I don't have one, I can't check. Must be the ip in the file name. I thought the image features were the 'k9-mz' part of the filename, but haven't looked it up in ages.

My asa 5505 is crippled unless I want to buy an upgrade license, this must be some new thing. I thought that Failover and Physical interface count were the limiting factors. I have an 871, but it has no PoE for my IP Phone. I just cant win.
It's very important that my office extension is available with all features like hosting conferences. It's the easiest way to sham it and work in your PJ's. My home office chair is more comfortable, nobody can hear the difference. :)

The IP Phone in a Perfect World example using the Queuing was more of a general outbound QoS situation in one of the trickier situations with end to end priority.

I didn't even cover pulling inbound traffic off the wan circuit, marking it up and sending it out to beat up all the other ethernet frames in the layer 2 switch yard. :(

e: Added part to ios images.

Yea. I'm not to familiar with setting up QoS for an IP Phone via the 851. Also I don't KNOW that it supports QoS, but I assume it does because of all the literature.

The 851 does have some options as far as QoS is concerned, but all the commands are different. I'm not sure how to setup PQ because none of the standard commands work to enable it.

Also ironically enough, when I googled for 851 QoS, it brought me to this thread on page 3, where I'm asking the same question. With my better experience and overall knowledge I'm able to understand better the solutions that were presented to me, or rather understand why they won't work on my router.

I wonder if I could talk to one of my IOS programmer buddies and get him to compile me a special advanced IP services 851 image, it would be trivial to do since the 851 and 871 are basically the same...probably a pipe dream.

Anyway, I think I'm going to adopt this as a long(er) term project. Because I know its possible to do somehow, but the device is so small scale that none of the technical aptitude at Cisco has much interest in it. So I'll be mostly on my own....

Also the K9-mz has to do with basic security features. The IOS I need is an "Advanced ip services" image. That image contains all the fun stuff like IPV6 routing, ISIS, BGP, EIGRP, OSPF, QOS etc. Basically if you are doing any kind of ISP interaction that is beyond a simple point to point or static route you probably need Advanced IP Services. Advanced Enterprise Services would work as well.

e: I wonder if I could find a "voice" image for this thing, and if that would have the QoS stuff that I need...hmm.

Oh cool, thanks I didn't know that.

Here's a quick and dirty PQ setup, and it will do what you need on the uplink to push ahead of any BT or otherwise unspecified traffic.


interface Serial3/0
ip address 151.204.xxx.xxx 255.255.255.252
no ip redirects
no ip unreachables
ip nbar protocol-discovery
ip route-cache flow
priority-group 1

access-list 120 permit <my important data e.g. TCP> any any eq <my important port>

priority-list 1 protocol ip high list 120

I usually max the memory on everything, makes it safe to deepen the queues.
priority-list 1 queue-limit 32767 32767 32767 32767

Each queue will hold 32k packets, if you have enough packet memory.

One warning of course is that traffic in a lower queue will not go out until a higher queue is empty. You can/will drop traffic if you try to queue more than the max 32k packets, the show commands will see if it is happening. I didn't make the product, I only use it.

Hope it works!

e: I just have normal access to images, and couldn't find anything but the same advanced services in 12.4 or 12.3. The old IOS image site just lists one image set for the 851.

By standard commands, I figured you were talking about the lack of CBWFQ commands from before.

I figured I'd check in here and see if anyone has any specific recommendations. I'd need a minimal setup; 2 routers, 1 switch (or two).

My biggest concern is cost, naturally I would like to keep it as cheap as I can. I have no problem Ebay shopping and hunting and pecking to pick up the equipment. Any recommendations on equipment?

2 2600 routers and 2 2900 switchs with maybe a 2500 router for a console server is all you need for the CCNA.

But honestly you don't even need that, just use Dynamips or something. The CCNA can be passed even without even passing the sims.

This isn't true anymore. The new CCNA exam is a bit tougher then it was before, and if you can't do labs, you will fail. I just took it a couple weeks ago, and there were multiple lab questions where you have to find out what is wrong and setup/fix routing.

With the exception of VLANs dedicated to backup and SAN storage, servers are given their own unrestricted VLAN that is routable by most internal devices.

This is of course for truly internal servers, ones living in a DMZ and public-facing have their access severely restricted inbound/outbound. We typically have the gateway for the DMZ'd servers' VLAN residing on a firewall for more granular control.

Multiple server zones (production, dev, dmz, etc etc etc) all with their own vlans and FWSM controlling access between each.

Default rule is all is denied inbound and outbound unless permitted.

They only just launched and I'm sure FCS is missing all sorts of features people want (like channelized SONET cards which are still missing from the other ASRs afaik).
