Chapter 19: QoS Configuration Guide

The <tos> and <tos-mask>parameters use values ranging from 0 to 255. They are used in conjunction with each other to define which bit in the <tos> field of the packet is significant. The <tos-precedence-rewrite>value ranges from 0 to 7 and is the value that is rewritten in the ToS Precedence field (the first three bits of the ToS octet). The <tos-rewrite>value ranges from 0 to 31 and is the value that is rewritten in the ToS field (the last five bits of the ToS octet, which includes both the ToS field and the MBZ bit).

The ToS byte rewrite is part of the QoS priority classifier group. The entire ToS byte can be rewritten or only the precedence part of the ToS byte can be rewritten. If you specify a value for <tos-precedence-rewrite>, then only the upper three bits of the ToS byte are changed. If you set <tos-precedence-rewrite>to any and specify a value for <tos-rewrite>, then the upper three bits remain unchanged and the lower five bits are rewritten. If you specify values for both <tos-precedence-rewrite>and <tos-rewrite>, then the upper three bits are rewritten to the <tos-precedence-rewrite>value and the lower five bits are rewritten to the <tos-rewrite>value.

For example, the following command will rewrite the ToS Precedence field to 7 if the ToS Precedence field of the incoming packet is 6:

ssr(config)# qos set ip tosp6to7 low any any any any 222 any any 224 7

In the above example, the <tos> value of 222 (binary value 1101 1110) and the <tos-mask>value of 224 (binary value 1110 0000) are ANDed together to specify the ToS Precedence field value of 6 (binary value 110). Changing the value in the <tos-mask>parameter determines the bit in the ToS octet field that will be examined.

The following example will rewrite the ToS Precedence and the ToS fields to 5 and 30 if the incoming packet is from the 10.10.10.0/24 network with the ToS Precedence field set to 2
