Managing Legacy Inbound QoS Interfaces

Managing Your Network : Managing Appliances : Managing Appliance Pages : Managing Legacy Inbound QoS Interfaces

You configure legacy inbound QoS interfaces in the Editing Appliance Configuration: <hostname>. Outbound QoS Interfaces page.

The SCC 9.0 or later does not support inbound QoS interface policy pushes on SteelHead 9.0.x or SteelHead EX 3.6.x. If you are running this version of the software on your remote appliance, you must migrate your QoS policies to simplified QoS on the SCC. For detailed information about QoS migration best practices, see Managing QoS.

Only SteelHead 8.x.x and SteelHead EX 3.5.x and lower is supported for this feature. If you are running these versions of the software, you have limited QoS functionality. Riverbed recommends you upgrade to simplified QoS. For detailed information about migrating QoS, see Migrating Legacy QoS Policies.

This feature applies only to SteelHead and SteelHead EX.

For detailed information about QoS, see the SteelHead Management Console User’s Guide for SteelHead CX.

To modify Inbound QoS interfaces

1. Choose Manage > Topology: Appliances to display the Appliances page.

2. Select the name of the appliance you want to edit to display the Edit Appliance tab.

3. Select the Appliance Pages tab to display the Appliance Configuration Pages list.

4. Under Appliance Configuration Pages, click Inbound QoS Interfaces to display the Editing Appliance Configuration: <hostname>, Inbound QoS Interfaces page.

5. Under WAN Link, complete the configuration as described in this table.

Control	Description
WAN Bandwidth (kbps)	Specify WAN interface bandwidth link rate in kilobits per second. The link rate is the bottleneck WAN bandwidth, not the interface speed out of the WAN interface into the router or switch. For example, if your CMC appliance connects to a router with a 100-Mbps link, do not specify this value; specify the actual WAN bandwidth (for example, T1 or T3). Different WAN interfaces can have different WAN bandwidths; you must enter the bandwidth link rate correctly for QoS to function properly.
Interfaces detected on the Appliance	Select the necessary check box(es).
Additional Interfaces	Select the necessary check box(es).

6. Click Apply to apply your changes to the running configuration.
