DGS-3024 Gigabit Ethernet Switch Manual

NOTE: The settings you assign to the queues, numbers 0-7, represent the IEEE 802.1p priority tag number. Do not confuse these settings with port numbers.

QoS Output Scheduling

QoS can be customized by changing the output scheduling used for the hardware classes of service in the Switch. As with any changes to QoS implementation, careful consideration should be given to how network traffic in lower priority classes of service is affected. Changes in scheduling may result in unacceptable levels of packet loss or significant transmission delay. If you choose to customize this setting, it is important to monitor network performance, especially during peak demand, as bottlenecks can quickly develop if the QoS settings are not suitable. In the Configuration folder open the QoS folder and click QoS Output Scheduling, to view the window shown below:

Figure 7- 43. QoS Output Scheduling window

You may assign the following values to the QoS classes to set the scheduling.

ParameterDescription

Max. Packets

Specifies the maximum number of packets the above specified hardware priority class of service will be allowed to transmit before allowing the next lowest priority queue to transmit its packets. A value between 0 and 15 can be specified.

Click Apply to implement changes made.

MAC Notification

MAC Notification is used to monitor MAC addresses learned and entered into the forwarding database.

MAC Notification Global Settings

To globally set MAC notification on the Switch, open the following window by opening the MAC Notification folder and clicking the MAC Notification Global Settings link:
