Layer 3 QoS

Implications of Engine Type

Engine type refers to different hardware architectures. From a management perspective, the engine type
determines what functionality is available to the client. Currently, this only applies to Layer 3 QoS. The
following is a summary of how engine type affects Layer 3 QoS:
Cisco 12000/10720 Router Manager will detect the engine type applicable to a given module (line card)
and prevent operations that are not applicable.
Auto-detection is not supported for Engine type 4.
Note

CAR and WRED in Cisco 12000/10720 Router Manager

CAR and WRED are modeled as objects in Cisco 12000/10720 Router Manager. There are two types of
CAR objects: CAR policies and access lists. There is two types of WRED objects: CoS (Class of Service)
queue groups and ToFab policies.
When you create these objects in Cisco 12000/10720 Router Manager, you can work within the Layer 3
QoS view to create, apply, delete or edit Layer 3 QoS objects. Created CAR policies are placed under
the CAR Policies container in the Layer 3 QoS view. Created access lists are placed under the Access
List container in the Layer 3 QoS view. Created CoS queue groups are placed under the WRED-MDRR
container in the Layer 3 QoS view. Created ToFab polices are placed under the WRED-MDRR container
in the Layer3QoS view.
Access lists are only supported within the realm of CAR and do not function as stand-alone
Tip
objects.
It is important to note that Layer 3 QoS CAR and WRED objects (access lists, policies, CoS queue
groups, ToFab policies) are global, meaning they can be applied to any module/interface object within
Cisco 12000/10720 Router Manager. For example, the CosQ groups are applied to interfaces whereas
the ToFab policies are applied to modules (line cards).
