[c-nsp] Cisco ME3x00 Egress Policie - Denied by Cisco/IOS!

[James Bensley]

Hi All,

Has anyone encountered this issue on the ME3600/ME3800s;

Cisco 2960 - Layer 2 device terminating Layer 2 connections
|
| Layer 2 Trunk on 100Mbps port
|
Cisco ME3800 - Various layer 2 connections trunked up in VLANs for
termination on ME3800

We are trying to apply some policers on the ME3800 for multiple 10Mbps
circuits being delivered on the 2960 because some of them are on
faster bearers. The problem is that when you try to apply a policy on
the ME3x00 series and you add in an 11th policer for 10Mbps it throws
up an error saying the port is oversubscribed and the config isn't
allowed. You can't police 11+ VLANs for example to 10Mbps on a 100Mbps
port.

These devices are meant to go near/on the access layer where
oversubscription lives :)

Has anyone encountered this and has anyone overcome it?

We have a TAC case open, they are almost definately going to say
"that's what is supposed to happen".

Cheers,
James.
