Lesson Objectives

Congestion Management

  • distinguish between the key queuing algorithms used to manage congestion.
  • identify the basic software queuing technologies used on Cisco network devices.
  • identify the advantages and benefits of using the first-in-first-out (FIFO) and weighted fair queuing (WFQ) queuing mechanisms.
  • identify how Weighted Fair Queuing (WFQ) manages interface and flow congestion, given a scenario.
  • identify the Cisco IOS commands required to configure and monitor Weighted Fair Queuing (WFQ).
  • given a scenario, determine how to configure Weighted Fair Queuing (WFQ).
  • identify the Cisco IOS commands required to configure and monitor class-based weighted fair queuing (CBWFQ) on a Cisco router.
  • identify the Cisco IOS commands required to configure and monitor low-latency queuing (LLQ) on a Cisco router.
  • given a scenario, configure class-based weighted fair queuing (CBWFQ) and low-latency queuing (LLQ) on a Cisco router.
  • distinguish between the queuing capabilities of various Cisco switches.
  • identify the Cisco IOS commands required to configure weighted round robin (WRR) and monitor queuing on Catalyst 2950 switches.
