Licensing Requirements; Prerequisites For Network Qos - Cisco Nexus 7000 Series Configuration Manual

Configuring Network QoS
Template
default-6e-4q8q-policy
default-4e-4q8q-policy
In a default network policy template name, the numbers 4, 6, 7, and 8 denote the number of the drop CoS that
is defined in the policy and e denotes Ethernet.
Note
The 4q8q policy templates are supported and enabled by default on the Cisco Nexus 7710 switch and the
Cisco Nexus 7718 switch only.
Note For the default-8e-4q8q-in-policy, as the ingress buffers are limited to two queues (8e-4q8q-in-q1 and
8e-4q8q-in-q-default), you must change the queue limit by using the queue limit command, before any CoS2q
/ dscp-to-queue mapping changes are made to 8e-4q8q-in-q3 and 8e-4q8q-in-q4.
The network qos policy templates are created when the first F-Series module becomes operational or the
templates are saved in the start-up configuration.
Note A policy that does not conform to a system-defined policy template is currently not supported.

Licensing Requirements

The QoS feature does not a require license. Any feature not included in a license package is bundled with the
Cisco NX-OS system images and is provided at no extra charge to you.
Using virtual device contexts (VDCs) requires an Advanced Services license.
For a complete explanation of the Cisco NX-OS licensing scheme, see the Cisco NX-OS Licensing Guide.
