This blog was originally started to better help me understand the technologies in the CCIE R&S blueprint; after completing the R&S track I have decided to transition the blog into a technology blog.

CCIE #29033

This blog will continue to include questions, troubleshooting scenarios, and references to existing and new technologies but will grow to include a variety of different platforms and technologies. Currently I have created over 185 questions/answers in regards to the CCIE R&S track!! Note: answers are in the comment field or within "Read More" section.

Question 123

What does "max-reserved-bandwidth 85" accomplish?

When enabling QOS on an interface the default is to reserve 25% of the bandwidth for routing protocols and other critical traffic that may not have been considered in the policy. The maximum available bandwidth for QOS is 75%. EX: 100Mb link would only have 75Mb available to use within your policy. This can lead to issues if you have a requirement to reserve 85% of the bandwidth for a policy. In this case you can use the "max-reserved-bandwidth 85" to allocate 85% of the bandwidth. This command is applied to the interface.
