Using ACLs to Change CoS 399

Using ACLs to

For WMM or non-WMM traffic, you can change a packet’s priority by

Change CoS

using an ACL to change the packet’s CoS value. A CoS value assigned by

 

an ACE overrides the CoS value assigned by the switch’s QoS map.

 

To change CoS values using an ACL, you must map the ACL to the

 

outbound traffic direction on a MAP port, Distributed MAP, or user VLAN.

 

For example, to remap IP packets from IP address 10.10.20.5 that have IP

 

precedence value 3, to have CoS value 7 when they are forwarded to any

 

10.10.30.x address on Distributed MAP 2, enter the following

 

commands:

 

WX1200# set security acl ip acl1 permit cos 7 ip 10.10.20.5

 

0.0.0.0 10.10.30.0 0.0.0.255 precedence 3

 

success: change accepted.

 

QX1200# set security acl ip acl1 permit any

 

success: change accepted.

 

WX1200# commit security acl acl1

 

success: change accepted.

 

WX1200# set security acl map acl1 ap 2 out

 

success: change accepted.

 

The default action on an interface and traffic direction that has at least

 

one access control entry (ACE) configured, is to deny all traffic that does

 

not match an ACE on that interface and traffic direction. The permit any

 

ACE ensures that traffic that does not match the first ACE is permitted.

 

Without this additional ACE at the end, traffic that does not match the

 

other ACE is dropped.

Filtering Based on

You can configure an ACE to filter based on a packet’s Differentiated

DSCP Values

Services Code Point (DSCP) value, and change the packet’s CoS based on

 

the DSCP value. A CoS setting marked by an ACE overrides the CoS

 

setting applied from the switch’s QoS map.
