ME3400 DSCP EF bits stripped.

Hello all,

I have been banging my head against the wall for some time now trying to
figure out why the DSCP bits are being stripped and replaced with "0" on
all packets when coming from a customer connected to one of our ME3400
switches. The switch is not doing any routing for them. It is just acting
as a L2 transport between their gear and our network.

Customer is connected to to port FA0/24 with that port being an access
switchport. The VLAN associated with it is not an interface on the switch.
The VLAN is simply just trunked via Gig0/1 to a 6509. The customer is
setting dscp bit EF on their voice traffic and when that traffic enters the
ME3400, those bits change to 0. Is there something that needs to be set to
prevent this data from being stripped? We have monitored the traffic with
an RSPAN port and are not able to see anything other then dscp 0 on all
traffic for this interface. While I have not looked at other interfaces, I
suspect this is the same for all of them. Below is the config for this.



vlan 800
remote-span
!
vlan 936
!
interface FastEthernet0/24
description ETHERNET - Circuit ID: xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
switchport access vlan 936
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/1
description uplink to 6509
port-type nni
switchport trunk allowed vlan 32,500-520,800,936
switchport mode trunk
load-interval 30
speed nonegotiate
!
monitor session 3 source interface Fa0/24
monitor session 3 destination remote vlan 800


Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

-Lee

Is it possible that the 6509 is remarking traffic? Considering you are
using RSPAN are you capturing traffic upstream?

Try to trust dscp/cos value of incoming packets of the access port.

Re: ME3400 DSCP EF bits stripped. [In reply to]

The customer facing UNI ports on the ME3400 don't "trust", to "trust" on
the ME3400 you need to create a policy-map, something like

Policy-map trust-dscp
Class class-default
Set dscp dscp

Will do just that, setting your dscp as whatever the customer set, that's
pretty dangerous though, unless the customer is paying for 100% priority
bandwidth.

This would match EF marked packets, allow 10Mbits of EF traffic (marking
10Mbits of EF marked customer traffic as EF) and setting the rest of the
customers EF traffic to 0. Any non EF traffic will be set to 0 as well,
you don't really need to explicitly do that, but it makes the map easier
to read and understand.

Class-map match-any EF
Match ip dscp ef

Policy-map trust-ef
Class EF
Police 10 m conform-action set-dscp-transmit dscp exceed-action
set-dscp-transmit 0
Class class-default
Set dscp 0

You'd want to put this policy-map on the ingress of the customer facing
port, with service-policy input trust-ef

You'll find that the QoS on the ME3400 is somewhat limited but mostly
sufficient for an access device.

Kind regards,
Sibbi

Re: ME3400 DSCP EF bits stripped. [In reply to]

Thanks Sibbi. This worked and we are seeing their voice traffic now passed
correctly. Not too concerned with the amount of traffic they can send as
they are paying for a full 100Mbps.

Thanks for your help.
