QoS Profile

QoS profiles define bandwidth allocation and traffic class settings for network connections. The scm CLI provides commands to create, update, delete, and manage QoS profiles.

Overview

The qos-profile commands allow you to:

  • Create QoS profiles with aggregate bandwidth and class bandwidth type settings
  • Update existing QoS profile configurations
  • Delete QoS profiles that are no longer needed
  • Bulk import QoS profiles from YAML files
  • Export QoS profiles for backup or migration

Folder Restriction

QoS profiles only support "Remote Networks" and "Service Connections" folders. Using any other folder will result in an error.

Set QoS Profile

Create or update a QoS profile.

Syntax

scm set network qos-profile [OPTIONS] NAME

Options

Option Description Required
NAME Name of the QoS profile Yes
--folder TEXT Folder location (must be "Remote Networks" or "Service Connections") No*
--snippet TEXT Snippet location No*
--device TEXT Device location No*
--aggregate-bandwidth-json TEXT Aggregate bandwidth config as JSON No
--class-bandwidth-type-json TEXT Class bandwidth type config as JSON No

* One of --folder, --snippet, or --device is required.

Examples

Create a QoS Profile

$ scm set network qos-profile my-qos \
    --folder "Remote Networks" \
    --aggregate-bandwidth-json '{"egress_max": 100, "egress_guaranteed": 50}'
---> 100%
Created QoS profile: my-qos in Remote Networks

Create in Service Connections

$ scm set network qos-profile sc-qos \
    --folder "Service Connections" \
    --aggregate-bandwidth-json '{"egress_max": 200}'
---> 100%
Created QoS profile: sc-qos in Service Connections

Delete QoS Profile

Delete a QoS profile from SCM.

Syntax

scm delete network qos-profile [OPTIONS] NAME

Options

Option Description Required
NAME Name of the QoS profile to delete Yes
--folder TEXT Folder location No*
--snippet TEXT Snippet location No*
--device TEXT Device location No*
--force Skip confirmation prompt No

* One of --folder, --snippet, or --device is required.

Example

$ scm delete network qos-profile my-qos --folder "Remote Networks" --force
---> 100%
Deleted QoS profile: my-qos from Remote Networks

Load QoS Profile

Load multiple QoS profiles from a YAML file.

Syntax

scm load network qos-profile [OPTIONS]

Options

Option Description Required
--file TEXT Path to YAML file containing QoS profile definitions Yes
--folder TEXT Override folder location No
--snippet TEXT Override snippet location No
--device TEXT Override device location No
--dry-run Preview changes without applying No

YAML File Format

---
qos_profiles:
  - name: remote-qos
    folder: "Remote Networks"
    aggregate_bandwidth:
      egress_max: 100
      egress_guaranteed: 50
    class_bandwidth_type:
      mbps:
        class1:
          egress_max: 30
          egress_guaranteed: 20

  - name: sc-qos
    folder: "Service Connections"
    aggregate_bandwidth:
      egress_max: 200

Examples

Load from File

$ scm load network qos-profile --file qos-profiles.yml
---> 100%
Created QoS profile: remote-qos in Remote Networks
Created QoS profile: sc-qos in Service Connections

Summary: Processed 2 QoS profiles
  - Created: 2

Dry Run

$ scm load network qos-profile --file qos-profiles.yml --dry-run
Dry run mode - no changes will be applied
  Would process: remote-qos
  Would process: sc-qos

Show QoS Profile

Display QoS profile details.

Syntax

scm show network qos-profile [OPTIONS]

Options

Option Description Required
--folder TEXT Folder location No*
--snippet TEXT Snippet location No*
--device TEXT Device location No*
--name TEXT Name of a specific QoS profile No

* One of --folder, --snippet, or --device is required.

Note

When no --name is specified, all items are listed by default.

Examples

Show Specific QoS Profile

$ scm show network qos-profile --folder "Remote Networks" --name my-qos
---> 100%
QoS Profile: my-qos
============================================================
