Classification Based on QoS ACLs
You can use IP standard, IP extended, or Layer 2 MAC ACLs to define a group of packets with the same
characteristics (class). You can also classify IP traffic based on IPv6 ACLs.
Note IPv6 ACLs are not supported on switches running the LAN base feature set.

Generate the DSCP based on
IP precedence in packet. Use
the IP-precedence-to-DSCP
map. Use the DSCP value to
generate the QoS label.
Assign default

(Optional) Modify the
DSCP by using the
DSCP-to-DSCP-mutation
map. Use the DSCP
value to generate
the QoS label.
Read ingress interface
configuration for classification.
Assign DSCP identical
to DSCP in packet.
Check if packet came
with CoS label (tag).
Use the CoS value to
generate the QoS label.
Generate DSCP from
CoS-to-DSCP map.
Use the DSCP value to
generate the QoS label.

Read next ACL. Is there
a match with a "permit" action?
Assign the DSCP or CoS as specified
by ACL action to generate the QoS label. Assign the default DSCP (0).
Are there any (more) QoS ACLs
configured for this interface?
Check if packet came
with CoS label (tag).
Use CoS
from frame.
