I need to set some bandwidth restrictions on my Cisco 2900 switch. I have a 10 Mbit Internet connection and I wanna divide this into T1's. For example I dont want my port 4 to use more than 1 T1 bandwidth in my network, therefore I tried this:

interface FastEthernet0/4
bandwidth 1544
duplex full
no fair-queue

But it didn't work out. Does anyone know how I could do this on Cisco 2900?

Thanks,

Are you trying to load balance? Cisco devices automatically load balance with FIFO queueing. You could also go with a QoS config with different queueing methods.

Hi Burt
He wants to do a kind of Traffic shaping.I don't know if this can be done at Layer 2.

Yes thats right I am trying to do traffic shaping, not load balancing. I heard that 2900 series is kinda old and does not support any QoS policies.

Any Idea?

Hello
As said before!Could be wrong but Layer 2 switches.Will only mark traffic,they don't have shaping ability.Whay can't you do the shipping on the Router?
Regards


 
Burt Its 2924.

And I also have cisco 7206 and making BGP. If I install a multi channel T1/PRI on 7206 would I be able to do traffic shaping?

All I want is to divide my 10 Mbit connection in to T1's.






Thanks;
