HQoS Configuration Guide

HQoS (Hierarchical Quality of Service) is an advanced traffic management mechanism. By employing multi-level queue scheduling and shaping strategies, it enables granular bandwidth control and priority assurance for complex network traffic. This optimizes bandwidth utilization efficiency and ensures the service quality of critical applications (such as voice, video, etc.).

Traditional QoS technologies typically manage traffic at a single network node or interface. In contrast, HQoS introduces the hierarchical concept, allowing for nested traffic management across multiple dimensions simultaneously (e.g., the overall link, user groups, individual users, and different service types within a user). This makes HQoS particularly well-suited for network environments with diverse application scenarios.

HQoS Configuraton

Global HQoS switch

Operation	Command	Description
Enter the system configuration view	configure
Globally enable HQoS	hqos enable

Create a global HQoS configuration

Operation	Command	Description
Enter the system configuration view	configure
Create a global HQoS configuration	hqos-profilename	The following configurations are performed within the global HQoS configuration view
Configure global rate limiting	global ratebyte/s	Unit: byte/s
Bind custom user groups	user-group-profile {fuzzymatchuser-group-name\|postmatchuser-group-name\|prematchuser-group-name\|user-group-name} {shaping pirbyte/spbsbytes}	supports batch binding of user groups using the following match modes:fuzzymatch: Fuzzy match; postmatch: Post-match; prematch: Pre-match; Individual rate limiting can be configured for user groups
Bind custom users	user-profile {fuzzymatchuser-name\|postmatchuser-name\|prematchuser-name\|user-name} {shaping pirbyte/spbsbytes}	supports batch binding of users using the following match modes:fuzzymatch: Fuzzy match; postmatch: Post-match; prematch: Pre-match; Individual rate limiting can be configured for users
Configure rate limiting for the default user group	default-group-profile shaping pirbyte/spbsbytes	Users not bound to any custom user group belong to the default user group
Configure rate limiting for the default user	default-user-profile shaping pirbyte/spbsbytes	Users that are not custom users belong to the default user

Create custom user group configuration

Operation	Command	Description
Enter the system configuration view	configure
Create Custom user groups	hqos-user-group-profilename	The following configurations are performed within the custom user group view
Bind custom users	user-profile {fuzzymatchuser-name\|postmatchuser-name\|prematchuser-name\|user-name} {shaping pirbyte/spbsbytes}	supports batch binding of users using the following match modes:fuzzymatch: Fuzzy match; postmatch: Post-match; prematch: Pre-match; Individual rate limiting can be configured for users
Bind DSCP-type priority mapping relationships	qos-map bind dscp_to_tcqos-map-name	note that the DSCP-type priority mapping table must be created before binding

Create custom user configuration

Operation	Command	Description
Enter the system configuration view	configure
Create custom user	hqos-user-profilename	The following configurations are performed within the custom user view
Configure TC scheduling mode and rate limiting	tc-queuesequence-numbermode strict\|dwrr {shaping pirbyte/spbsbytes}
Bind DSCP-type priority mapping relationships	qos-map bind dscp_to_tcqos-map-name	note that the DSCP-type priority mapping table must be created before binding

Create custom user configuration

Operation	Command	Description
Enter the interface view	interface ethernetinterface-id
bind the HQoS configuration on the interface	hqos-profilename{shared\|offload}	By default, the normal mode is used, meaning each port operates independently.In shared mode, all interfaces bound to this HQoS configuration file share the rate limit specified in the configuration.

Example of HQoS Configuration

Network requirements

The company’s total egress bandwidth is 800 Mbps. Departments A and B under the company are allocated 400 Mbps each. Within Department A, video conferencing traffic requires priority scheduling and is guaranteed 100 Mbps of bandwidth.

Procedure

1.Enable the HQoS function

sonic(config)# hqos enable

2.Create users for Department A and Department B

sonic(config)# hqos-user-profile A
sonic(config-user-A)# exit
sonic(config)# hqos-user-profile B
sonic(config-user-B)# exit
sonic(config)# access-list L3 A ingress
sonic(config-L3-acl-A)# rule 1 src-ip 1.1.1.1/24 set-hqos-user A packet-action permit
sonic(config-L3-acl-A)# exit
sonic(config)# access-list L3 B ingress
sonic(config-L3-acl-B)# rule 1 src-ip 2.1.1.1/24 set-hqos-user B packet-action permit

3.Create user groups for both departments and configure rate limiting for each department

sonic(config)# hqos-user-group-profile A
sonic(config-group-A)# user-profile A shaping pir 400000000 pbs 1000000
sonic(config-group-A)# exit
sonic(config)# hqos-user-group-profile B
sonic(config-group-B)# user-profile B shaping pir 400000000 pbs 1000000
sonic(config-group-B)# exit

4.Configure priority scheduling and bandwidth guarantee for the video conferencing traffic in Department A

sonic(config)# qos map dscp_to_tc dscp 46 1
sonic(config)# hqos-user-profile A
sonic(config-user-A)# tc-queue 1 mode strict shaping pir 100000000 pbs 1000000
sonic(config-user-A)# exit

5.Create a global HQoS configuration and bind the user groups to it

sonic(config)# hqos-profile test
sonic(config-hqos-test)# user-group-profile A
sonic(config-hqos-test)# user-group-profile B

6.Apply the configuration to the port

sonic(config)# interface ethernet 1
sonic(config-if-1)# hqos-profile test
sonic(config-if-1)# interface ethernet 2
sonic(config-if-2)# acl A priority 1
sonic(config-if-2)# interface ethernet 3
sonic(config-if-3)# acl B priority 2
