[c-nsp] Frame-relay queuing / FRTS / CBWFQ - 12.2.28SB4

Hi Everybody,

I have a scenario where I would like to be able to provide QoS over an 
MPLS/Frame-relay backbone (i am running Frame-relay in order to Fragment 
packets).

The 7206 running 12.2.28SB4 doesn't allow fair-queuing on the frame-relay 
interface, the error is shown below. If I configure a frame-relay class cbwfq 
and a class-default with fair-queue beneath it, the configuration is 
successfully applied, but I have no way of knowing whether the configuration 
is in fact working & whether packets are being queued according to their 
respective IP Prec / DSCP values.

How are others doing this and what is the simplest way of doing DSCP/IP Prec 
based queuing on frame?

Remove HQF queueing from interface before installing legacy command.
Possibly have service-policy with heirarchical shaping attached.
