Upstream traffic rate limit

Hi all,
Upstream traffic rate limit is not supported by WLC . It will be done by AP.
We have setup of Auto anchor for both corporate and guest(but authentication mechanism is diffrent) . They wont access any internal resouce .Only interner traffic is permitted.
So can we limit the internet traffic for guest users .? If we limiting the upstream traffic at the AP level what would be the concerns we may face?
Kindly help on this.
Thanks,
Regards,
Vijay

WLC 5508 and Anchor/GuestNet rate limit traffic?

Running WLCs 5508s 7.0.116.0 with GuestNet and Anchor setup, how can I limit the bandwidth on the GuestNet SSDI to 2 Mbps, etc?
The DMZ WLC (Anchor) runs thru a ASA 5508 7x, can I rate limit traffic via ASA?

That's really a matter of preference. This document describes things to keep in mind when altering these QoS profile configurations, FYI.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/docs/wireless/controller/7.0MR1/configuration/guide/cg_controller_setting.html#wp1254532
It really depends on how many guests, what type of traffic, etc, to make a judgement call as to where you should set these. I'm sorry but I don't have any examples from existing configurations, but hopefully the document explains how to best alter these settings.

Rate Limit Traffic on Router

Is it possible to limit bandwidth between two IPs using ACL or policy map. Like for example i want to limit 50% file sharing traffic coming or going to an IP 172.19.60.50

Hello,
You can rate limit the traffic using Traffic Policing or traffic shapping and YES you can match based on the flow of the traffic

WLC user rate limit on guest ssid anchor controller

Hi,
I have been looking through the forums & some cisco documents but not found a good example similar to what I am seeking to do so now I am turning to the expertise of my peers.
We have been deploying 3502 APs remotely to locations with full T1s that backhaul to where I sit at HQ.
Both the foreign and anchor controller are here at my location.
I am seeking to rate limit per user the bandwidth each client will get on the guest internet ssid.
As you know this traffic is encapsulated in capwap between the AP and the controller so I cant use a standard ACL on the switch or router.
We are trying to keep the guest internet access usage in check on the T1 at any given site so the other ssid's & local lan traffic is not overly competing for the bandwidth.
I found the place to edit the default profiles in the controller but the documentation really isnt clear on best practices.
So I put it to you my fellow wireless engineers to suggest how you are implementing bandwidth management on your wireless guest internet.
Thanks guys!
Oh and here is my hardware & software levels.
5508wlc - forgeign
4402wlc - anchor

7.0.230.0

Amjad,
Thank you for taking the time to respond as well as the document link.
It was pretty clear on the steps and what it would impact.
Two things that push me for a different solution (assuming their is one).
Note The values that you configure for the per-user bandwidth contracts affect only the amount of bandwidth going downstream (from the access point to the wireless client). They do not affect the bandwidth for upstream traffic (from the client to the access point).
As you can see from the above note taken out of the linked document the roll based rate limit doesnt really rate limit the T1 traffic any guest user consumes it only limits usage from the AP down to the client.
#1 I am looking for a solution that limits the users up & down streams (if possible) & also before it leaves the AP for the T1.
The idea is to limit WAN utilization.
#2 I read in the forums here others asking about the "user role" and saw some comments saying it is not considered "best practice" to use user roles.
Let me clarify that our guest ssid's are using the http webpage pass through for authentication and it is really only the tic mark to indicate they understand the terms and conditions of using our internet as a guest service. No actual user accounts are used on the guest ssid's.
***One last question about this and any other changes***
Will any change I make be on the "Foreign, Anchor" or both Controllers?

Bandwidth Rate-Limit -w- WWR-Queue

How would one convert a layer-2 port's "switchport rate-limit" bandwidth statement, on a 6509 -w- WS-X6748-SFP ports, to a routed/layer-3 "wrr-queue" bandwidth statement policy? Basically trying to hard-core the port's speed to 20MB. Current/tested layer-2 port bandwidth setting:
rate-limit input 20000000 5000 5000 conform-action transmit exceed-action drop
rate-limit output 20000000 5000 5000 conform-action transmit exceed-action drop
Got lost in how to use/configure all WRR's four queues... just need to limit the port's bandwidth to 20MB. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks, Kevin

1) Enabled QoS globally...
2960(config)#mls qos
2) Configure an ACL to define the matched traffic...
2960(config)#access-list 111 permit ip any any
3) Configure a class map for the matched traffic...
2960(config)#class-map traffic
2960(config-cmap)#match access 111
4) Configure a policy-map to define action...
2960(config)#policy-map Control
2960(config-pmap)#class traffic
2960(config-pmap-c)#police 10000000 8000 exceed-action drop

How to rate-limit different IP's entering/leaving an Interface?

Hi There,
We are an ISP and have an interconnect with say Provider A. Customers of ours use Provider A for layer 2 and us for Layer 3 (IP/Internet).
Customer #1 to #100 --- (10Mb) --> Provider A ---> ISP ---> Internet
We'd like to rate limit some customers to 2mb/sec (in/out) on our end because at present they have a 10mb/sec connection coming from Provider A.
The config we use to peer with Provider A is this:
interface GigabitEthernet0/1.120
description Interconnect with Provider A
bandwidth 400000
encapsulation dot1Q 120
ip address A.B.C.1 255.255.255.252
Customers of ours are simply routed out through this interface like so:
Customer #1:
ip route W.X.Y.Z. 255.255.255.255 A.B.C.2
Customer #2:
ip route J.K.L.M 255.255.255.255 A.B.C.2
Is there a way to rate limit both these customers without needing to create a separate class map for each like so:
class-map match-all CUSTOMER-1-2MB
match access-group name ACL-CUSTOMER-1
class-map match-all CUSTOMER-2-2MB
match access-group name ACL-CUSTOMER-2
policy-map POLICY-RATE-LIMIT
class CUSTOMER-1-2MB
police 2000000 375000 750000
class CUSTOMER-2-2MB
police 2000000 375000 750000
interface GigabitEthernet0/1.120
service-policy input POLICY-RATE-LIMIT
service-policy output POLICY-RATE-LIMIT
I've done this in the lab and I know it works, so Customer #1 ends up with 2mb/sec and Customer #2 gets 2mb/sec too.
But in production, I'm talking about 100's of customers which we simply route out of this interface. I can't imagine having to configure 100's of class maps and policy maps for each customer to rate limit them to 2mb/sec like in the config above.
Is there a better way to do this on the router???
Thanks.
Andy

Hi All,
Doing what Laurent suggested works great. We are able to rate-limit the desired customers by having a separate class-map for each customer that needs to be rate limited under the single policy-map.
But now we're finding that the CPU utilization has increased by 20% because of this.
We're pushing about 400M through this interface and rate limiting 7 customers on it.
Given the large traffic flow through this interface (400M), is it common to see an increase in CPU utilisation by 20%???
When we take the service-policy off the interface, sure enough the CPU drops by 20%.
Here's the MQC applied:
interface GigabitEthernet0/1.120
bandwidth 400000
encapsulation dot1Q 120
ip address 203.17.x.x 255.255.255.252
ip flow ingress

class CLASS-TCS-200441
police 4000000 750000 1500000 conform-action transmit exceed-action transmit violate-action drop
class CLASS-TCS-200338
police 4000000 750000 1500000 conform-action transmit exceed-action transmit violate-action drop
class CLASS-TCS-205679
police 4000000 750000 1500000 conform-action transmit exceed-action transmit violate-action drop
class CLASS-TCS-205560
police 4000000 750000 1500000 conform-action transmit exceed-action transmit violate-action drop
class CLASS-TCS-205593
police 3000000 562500 1125000 conform-action transmit exceed-action transmit violate-action drop
Is this the correct behaviour of applying the service-policy to the interface whereby the CPU increases by 20% or can the MQC be fine tuned to have less of an impact on the CPU?
Is the router just overloaded, taking into account it's only pushing about 400M? Should it be able to do more than this??
Thanks.
Andy

Per user bandwidth rate limit.

How to configure per user bandwidth rate limit for wireless guest client, authentication server is ISE 1.2 & wireless controller is 5760.

The Cisco 5760 WLC supports better QoS than other c
ontrollers, allowing prioritization of mission-crit
ical
applications:
●
The Cisco 5760 WLC supports four wireless hardware
queues and priority-based queuing compared to
software-based queuing in existing controllers.
●
The Cisco 5760 WLC follows MQC based commands, allo
wing usage of exact commands for configuring
QoS on different types of network devices.
●
The Cisco 5760 WLC supports QoS policies to be appl
ied in a hierarchical fashion with more granularity
per SSID per radio, while on the current controller
s granularity is per WLAN.
●
The Cisco 5760 WLC supports approximate fair bandwi
dth to make sure of fairness at client, SSID, and
radio levels for Non-Real Time (NRT) traffic. There
fore, if one user consumes excessive bandwidth, we
can
limit the amount of bandwidth that user receives an
d thereby not deprive other users.

Rate-limit command 3560 does it exist?

I have just come across a command in my router IOS which might be useful too me. I was wondering if the following command is available on a 3560 Switch. I don't see it on my 3550 but the IOS is quite old. I don't have a 3560 avaiable currently to check.
Config t > int vlan x > rate-limit input/output
does this exist on the 3560? I am also interest if it does in the Bits per second range and if available input/output.
Thanks for any help

Bandwidth Management(Rate Limit) Using QoS Policies

Hello,
I need some advice. We have an ASA 5525 running version 8.6(1)2 and a 10 MG pipe. I have execs that want to limit bandwidth on users for stuff like youtube, stream media, and downloads. I found the article on ‘Bandwidth Management(Rate Limit) Using QoS Policies’ so it appears our firewall can do what we want. I’m not a cisco person. My knowledge is limited when it comes to configuration – that’s why we have SmartNet :). The advice I need is what to ask for, so to speak, when I put a case in. Can bandwidth be limited on end users and/or can they limit the ‘bandwidth rate limit’ to just youtube, steaming media, and downloads? If so, what should the limit be? and I’m assume this would be for ‘incoming’ traffic only? we’re running into some bandwidth hogs – usually youtube and/or streaming media. We have a Barracuda web filter which we’ve used to block and monitor activity but I simply do not have time to babysit this all day. I should also mention we do have critical data running up and down the pipe; such as credit card processing, DB replication between in house DB and hosted website, TPCx and EDI, FTP, and such that we don’t want restricted.
Need input please,
Thanks,
D

Hello,
That's a question that you as the network admin of that organization could answer.
How much traffic for business purposes must travel via HTTP/HTTPS?
How much bandwith are you willing to provide to this 2 protocols?

Cisco SG300 VLAN rate-limit

I have a Cisco SG300 small business switch and 541 APs. There are 2 VLANs in our network. One must be limited by bandwidth. Does anyone have an idea for configure vlan rate-limiting on SG300? And please describe CIR & CBS for me. Thanks.

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/products/ps10898/prod_command_reference_list.html
Cisco Small Business 300 Series Managed Switches Command Line Interface Guide Release 1.3
Select CIR and CBS according to your design. You can use a larger CBS when performance is not ideal.
49.23 rate-limit (VLAN)
Use the Layer 2 rate-limit (VLAN) Global Configuration mode command to limit the
incoming traffic rate for a VLAN. Use the no form of this command to disable the
rate limit.
Syntax
rate-limit vlan-id committed-rate committed-burst
no rate-limit vlan
Parameters
• vlan-id—Specifies the VLAN ID.
• committed-rate—Specifies the average traffic rate (CIR) in kbits per second
(kbps). (Range: 3-57982058)
• committed-burst—Specifies the maximum burst size (CBS) in bytes.
(Range: 3000-19173960)
Default Configuration
Rate limiting is disabled.
Committed-burst-bytes is 128K.
Command Mode
Global Configuration mode
User Guidelines
Traffic policing in a policy map takes precedence over VLAN rate limiting. If a
packet is subject to traffic policing in a policy map and is associated with a VLAN
that is rate limited, the packet is counted only in the traffic policing of the policy
map.
This command does not work in Layer 3 mode. It does not work in conjunction with
IP Source Guard.
Example
The following example limits the rate on VLAN 11 to 150000 kbps or the normal
burst size to 9600 bytes.
switchxxxxxx(config)# rate-limit 11 150000 9600

Wireless rate limit

Hi,
My network infrastructure as simple as following:
LAN(edge switches 3560).......>Aggregator switch(3750)........>Firewall(ASA 5510)........>Router.......>Internet
I define 3 wireless VLANs with 3 SSIDs on the Aggregator switch(3750):
1. one SSID for company employees.
2. one SSID for wireless IP phones.
3. one SSID for company guest which access only internet.
And the wireless APs connected to the LAN(edge switches) direct with trunks.
My question is how to apply a rate limit for SSID for company guest to access internet with B.W. of 128kbps only.
I tried policy map to be applied on the aggregator switch(3750) on the VLAN interface, but, it is not working.
So, any suggested help, please.

Hi Ahmed:
With autonomous APs, rate limiting isn't possible. All the autonomous APs support is QoS and that's pretty iffy. At the core of the issue, you're dealing with radio waves and which ones arrive at the radio first, and who was prevented from talking because someone else was talking. Dealing with these QoS and traffic shaping/policing issues are really tough with wireless because the transmission medium itself is unreliable.
The "Configuring QoS" chapter of the autonomous AP configuration guide
http://tools.cisco.com/squish/5aCf1
will show you how you can map priority tagging to an SSID so that in that path from radio receiver to outbound on the fastethernet interface toward the rest of the network, you can control which SSID's packets get up into the network first, but the reverse path is a different story. Because the wireless medium is half-duplex acknowledged, you can have a high priority packet out there on the radio interface trying to be beamed out to the client, and if the client isn't sending their ACK or what have you, it's going to sit and retry until its 63 retries are done before it gets out of the way to let the next high priority packet have a turn at getting transmitted out.
Once the traffic gets past the edge switch, the fact that it was at one time wireless is irrelevant. You should look at it as a general "rate limiting one VLAN's traffic over another" and check with the routing protocols or traffic shaping folks.

Rate-limit Burst explanation

Hi All - I need your help to understand the Burst value in the Rate-Limit
Example: rate-limit input access-group 101 20000000 24000 32000
I understand the above configuration limit the traffic to 20Mbps. How to calculate the Burst-Normal (as per example above 24000 Bytes) and Burst-Max(as per above example 32000 Bytes). What is the logic for arriving the Burst-Normal & Burst-Max?
Thanks in advance
SAIRAM

Hi Sairam,
below are definitions of few terms which are involved here
CIR : committed information rate, in bits per second, defines the rate defined in the traffic contract.
Tc : Time interval,measured in miliseconds, over which the committed burst (Bc) can be sent.
Bc : Committed burst size,measured in bits. This is the amount of traffic that can be sent over the interval Tc.
Be : Excess burst size, in bits. This is number of bits beyond Bc that can sent after a period of inactivity.
Formula to calculate Bc is
Bc = CIR*Tc
Now to understand Bc and Tc, say suppose you have applied 20mbps rate-limit on a 100mbps fastethernet link. Now link can send data (bits) with clock-rate only which is 100mbps so to achieve 20mbps rate on that link router needs to send traffic for 1/5th of a sec and remain idle for 4/5th of a second. 1/5th of sec is 200 msec. If router will send traffic for 200msec and not sending traffic for next 800msec, it can achieve rate of 20mbps but a packet arrived at 199th sec will need to wait for 800msec and this will add unnecessary latency to the packet. To avoid this, router sends few bits for short duration and then does not send for some duration. For the period it sends traffic is called Tc value. and the number of bytes it can send during that interval is called Bc value. So CIR = Bc/Tc (bits per interval).
Now we dont have option to configure Tc but we can configure CIR and Bc, and Tc will automatically be calculated. If we do not configure Bc then router takes default Tc of 125ms and calculates the Bc.
What value to choose for Bc
If we configure Bc too large then Tc will go high for same CIR and this may cause delay or jitter for delay sensitive traffic. For delay sensitive traffic cisco recommends to have Tc 10ms or less.
If i calculate Tc in the given example, it is coming as 9.6ms which is close to 10ms that is why Bc is set as 24000.
Tc = Bc/CIR
= 24000(bytes)/20000000(bits/sec)
= 192000(bits)/20000(bits/ms)
= 192/20
= 9.6 msec
Now Be is to give extra bandwidth for small interval(Tc) to cater some bursty traffic. Assume there is a bucket which gets filled with Bc amount of token in every Tc interval and router can send traffic if there is sufficient amount of token available in the bucket, equal to the packet size. After forwarding packet router reduces same amount of token from the bucket. Size of bucket is also equal to Bc which means if there is no traffic for Tc interval, bucket can not hold more token. Be is to increase the size of bucket to (Bc + Be). Now in every Tc interval bucket will be filled with Bc token and if there is a period of inactivity then in next interval bucket can be filled with extra Bc amount of token till it reaches to (Bc + Be) and if there is any bursty traffic (more than Bc) same can be adjusted. So for a very small period router may send traffic with more rate (higher than CIR, since sending Bc+Be in Tc interval) but over a period does not cross CIR.

Rate-limit for some MAC on aironet 1231

Hello!
I need to set rate-limit for some mac addresses on access point aironet 1231.Is it possible?
If no, what ios or devices can do it?
Thanks.

No there is no option for rate-limit in Aironet but in controller, Rate-limiting is applicable to all traffic destined to the CPU from either direction (wireless or wired). Cisco recommends that you always run the controller with the default config advanced rate enable command in effect in order to rate-limit traffic to the controller and protect against denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. You can use the config advanced rate disable command to stop rate-limiting of Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo responses for testing purposes.
