You want to see how queueing is configured on an interface.
Cisco provides several useful commands for looking at an interface's queueing configuration and performance. The first of these is the show queue command:
Router#show queue FastEthernet0/0
Input queue: 0/75/105/0 (size/max/drops/flushes); Total output drops: 0
Queueing strategy: weighted fair
Output queue: 0/1000/96/0 (size/max total/threshold/drops)
Conversations 0/1/128 (active/max active/max total)
Reserved Conversations 0/0 (allocated/max allocated)
Available Bandwidth 75000 kilobits/sec
Router#
Use the show queueing command to look the router's queueing configuration in general:
Router#show queueing Current fair queue configuration: Interface Discard Dynamic Reserved Link Priority threshold queues queues queues queues FastEthernet0/0 96 128 258 8 1 Serial0/0 64 256 37 8 1 Serial0/1 96 128 256 8 1 Current DLCI priority queue configuration: Current priority queue configuration: List Queue Args 1 high protocol ip tcp port 198 1 high protocol pppoe-sessi 2 high protocol ip udp port 199 3 low default 3 high protocol ip list 101 Current custom queue configuration: Current random-detect configuration: Router#
The show queue and show queueing commands augment the show interface output, which also shows important queueing information:
Router#show interface FastEthernet0/0 FastEthernet0/0 is up, line protocol is up Hardware is AmdFE, address is 0001.9670.b780 (bia 0001.9670.b780) MTU 1500 bytes, BW 100000 Kbit, DLY 100 usec, reliability 255/255, txload 1/255, rxload 1/255 Encapsulation ARPA, loopback not set Keepalive set (10 sec) Full-duplex, 100Mb/s, 100BaseTX/FX ARP type: ARPA, ARP Timeout 04:00:00 Last input 00:00:00, output 00:00:00, output hang never Last clearing of "show interface" counters never Input queue: 0/75/105/0 (size/max/drops/flushes); Total output drops: 0 Queueing strategy: weighted fair Output queue: 0/1000/96/0 (size/max total/threshold/drops) Conversations 0/1/128 (active/max active/max total) Reserved Conversations 0/0 (allocated/max allocated) Available Bandwidth 75000 kilobits/sec 5 minute input rate 1000 bits/sec, 2 packets/sec 5 minute output rate 2000 bits/sec, 2 packets/sec 2495069 packets input, 181306312 bytes Received 2333309 broadcasts, 0 runts, 0 giants, 0 throttles 0 input errors, 0 CRC, 0 frame, 0 overrun, 0 ignored 0 watchdog 0 input packets with dribble condition detected 1927544 packets output, 197958017 bytes, 0 underruns 0 output errors, 0 collisions, 21 interface resets 0 babbles, 0 late collision, 0 deferred 0 lost carrier, 0 no carrier 0 output buffer failures, 0 output buffers swapped out Router#
The show queue command is a good starting point when looking at queueing issues. It tells you what queueing algorithm is used, as well as information about any drops:
Router#show queue FastEthernet0/0
Input queue: 0/75/105/0 (size/max/drops/flushes); Total output drops: 0
Queueing strategy: weighted fair
Output queue: 0/1000/96/0 (size/max total/threshold/drops)
Conversations 0/1/128 (active/max active/max total)
Reserved Conversations 0/0 (allocated/max allocated)
Available Bandwidth 75000 kilobits/sec
In this case, you can see that the interface uses WFQ. This can be slightly deceptive because we actually configured this interface for CBWFQ. The Reserved Connections line indicates no RSVP reservation queues have been allocated for this interface. So, if you tried to use RSVP on this interface, it would not work right now.
The show queue command gives no output at all when you use Custom Queueing or Priority Queueing on an interface.
The first section of output from the show queueing command gives some useful summary information on fair queueing parameters:
Router#show queueing Current fair queue configuration: Interface Discard Dynamic Reserved Link Priority threshold queues queues queues queues FastEthernet0/0 96 128 258 8 1 Serial0/0 64 256 37 8 1 Serial0/1 96 128 256 8 1
In this case you can immediately see and compare the queue sizes between different interfaces.
