Hi all, I have been trying to come up with a qos policy (or rather where to apply it) for reserving some bandwidth for management traffic to the local router The setup is that a remote route is a spoke to a DMVPN network, thus has a couple of ipsec gre tunnel interfaces and a Lo0 for management (ssh). I have no issue working out service policy for transiting traffic, however, I can't wrap my head around how to reserve some bandwidth for the locally originated SSH traffic (managing the router). I'd like to mark ssh response packets from the local router (1.1.1.1) with CS2,so i can match them in the tunnel policy shown below. Has anyone come across this task before? interface Loopback0 ip address 1.1.1.1 255.255.255.255 interface Tunnel0 ip address 2.2.2.2 255.255.255.0 qos pre-classify <snip> tunnel source FastEthernet0/0 tunnel mode gre multipoint tunnel protection ipsec profile protect-gre shared ! interface FastEthernet0/0 desc DSL/Cable/FiOS ip address 3.3.3.3 255.255.255.0 bandwidth 768 bandwidth receive 1500 service-policy output SHAPE-OUT-768 ! class-map match-any SSH match ip dscp cs2 ! policy-map SHAPE-OUT-768 class class-default shape average 768000 service-policy SSH ! service-policy SSH class SSH bandwidth percent 5 class class-default fair-queue queue-limit 15 packets --Andrey
