What is the MQC?
A. MQC stands for modular Quality of Service (QoS) Command Line Interface (CLI). It is designed to simplify the configuration of QoS on Cisco routers and switches by defining a common command syntax and resulting set of QoS behaviors across platforms. This model replaces the previous model of defining unique syntaxes for each QoS feature and for each platform. The MQC contains the following three steps: • Define a traffic class by issuing the class-map command. • Create a traffic policy by associating the traffic class with one or more QoS features by issuing the policy-map command. • Attach the traffic policy to the interface, subinterface, or Virtual Circuit (VC) by issuing the service-policy command. Note: You implement the traffic conditioning functions of DiffServ, such as marking and shaping, using the MQC syntax. For more information, refer to Modular Quality of Service Command-Line Interface.
