QoS Workflow
To configure general QoS parameters, perform the following:
- Enable QoS by using the QoS Properties page to select the trust mode. Then enable QoS on ports by using the Interface Settings page.
- Assign each interface a default CoS or DSCP priority by using the QoS Properties page.
- Assign the schedule method (Strict Priority or WRR) and bandwidth allocation for WRR to the egress queues by using the Queue page.
- Designate an egress queue to each IP DSCP/TC value with the DSCP to Queue page. If the switch is in DSCP trusted mode, incoming packets are put into the egress queues based on the their DSCP/TC value.
- Designate an egress queue to each CoS/802.1p priority. If the switch is in CoS/ 802.1 trusted mode, all incoming packets will be put into the designated egress queues according to the CoS/802.1p priority in the packets. This is done by using the CoS/802.1p to Queue page.
- Enter bandwidth and rate limits in the following pages:
