Per Site QOS policy with Cisco IOS-XE

Tyler,

Tyler,

I already had a case open with TAC on this issue.  This is what the CCIE
assigned to the case is saying about that type of policy:

Hi Wesley,

Yes, I’m afraid that configuration is not possible. We can only mark or
police traffic on this child policy.

You will see the following message when trying to attach the service-policy
to the interface:

---

ASR10004(config-if)#service-policy output parent_shaper
Cannot attach queuing-based child policy to a non-queuing based class

*This is what I sent to her:*

 So this configuration is not possible?

policy-map parent_shaper
 class class-default
 shape average 100000000 < --- 100Mbps parent shaper.
 service-policy site_shaper

policy-map site_shaper
 class t1_site
  shape average 1536000
  service-policy qos_global
 class multilink_site
  shape average 3072000
  service-policy qos_global
  class class-default
  service-policy qos_global

policy-map qos_global
 class VOICE
  priority percent 25
  set dscp ef
 class AF41
  bandwidth percent 40
  set dscp af41
  queue-limit 1024 packets
 class class-default
  fair-queue
  set dscp af21
  queue-limit 1024 packets
