Chapter 1 Configuring QoS
Configuring QoS
• (ASA 5512-X through ASA 5555-X) Priority queuing is not supported on the Management 0/0
interface.
• (ASASM) Only policing is supported.
Additional Guidelines and Limitations
• QoS is applied unidirectionally; only traffic that enters (or exits, depending on the QoS feature) the
interface to which you apply the policy map is affected. See the “Feature Directionality” section on
page 1-2 for more information.
• For traffic shaping, you can only use the class-default class map, which is automatically created by
the ASA, and which matches all traffic.
• For priority traffic, you cannot use the class-default class map.
• For hierarchical priority queuing, for encrypted VPN traffic, you can only match traffic based on the
DSCP or precedence setting; you cannot match a tunnel group.
• For hierarchical priority queuing, IPsec-over-TCP traffic is not supported.
• You cannot configure traffic shaping and standard priority queuing for the same interface; only
hierarchical priority queuing is allowed.
• For standard priority queuing, the queue must be configured for a physical interface or, for the ASA
5505 or ASASM, a VLAN.
• For policing, to-the-box traffic is not supported.
• For policing, traffic to and from a VPN tunnel bypass interface is not supported.
• For policing, when you match a tunnel group class map, only outbound policing is supported.
