I have a new Cisco router 1101-4p

[Dieselboy]

Received this today. Runs IOS-XE. I dont think there is any active fan cooling as it's dead silent. More importantly, the logo illuminates blue 

The box says it's a 1110-4p but I think it's the 1101-4p from here: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/routers/1000-series-integrated-services-routers-isr/compare-model.html

Says it has about 250MB throughput so should be fine for me for routing up to a 100MB ISP link without firewall or VPN. Will have some PQ and CBWFQ qos though for shaping to 100M

Interesting. I might have a use for those. Does it come with a rack mount kit? I can't tell from the photos. Also looks like an external power brick which I hate, but I could live with that...

Does not come with a rack mount kit. It's about the size of the 880 routers may be a little bit bigger.

I'm not keen on the external power either but I think it makes the unit easier to cool.

It's a managed router. I've asked the new provider to apply my qos requirement for our voip and webex but they're having some troubles so I might end up taking over management.

Logged into CCW, and looked. There is a rack mount kit for some of these as an option. $100 with no discounts for a C1111. The C1101 and C1109 do not have a rack mount kit listed. Also the IPSec license to do 100M is another $1,000. At least the power cord isn't a wall wart. The bricks like these I can find a way to mount somewhere.

I logged into the web interface and it has a quad-core CPU. Quick google shows that IOS-XE supports multi core unlike IOS. My ISR G2 2901 router has a dual-core cpu but one core can't be used by IOS as it's reserved for the embedded module (if I remember rightly).

I manage this router now because the isp said they could not apply my qos policy due to a limitation on the router. The limitation is that you cannot have this config:

Code Select Expand

policy-map PARENT1
class class-default
  shape average 100000000
   service-policy CHILD1

policy-map CHILD1
class EF-VOIP
  priority percent 5
class REMOTE-OFFICE
  shape average 30000000
  bandwidth percent 30
   service-policy CHILD-2     <<<<----------- This fails
class AF41-TAG
  bandwidth percent 40
class class-default


Basically, the router throws an error and says that because the class has a bandwidth guarantee, you are not allowed to apply a service policy into the class. Whereas this config works as above, on the IOS routers. As a workaround I've done the following:

Code Select Expand

policy-map CHILD1
class EF-VOIP
  priority percent 5
class REMOTE-OFFICE
  shape average 30000000
   service-policy CHILD-2
class AF41-TAG
  bandwidth percent 40
class class-default

Worth noting.
