•Cos Mode — Enables or disables managing network traffic using Quality of Service.
•Trust Mode — Determines which packet fields to use for classifying packets entering the device. When no rules are defined, the traffic containing the predefined packet field (CoS or DSCP) is mapped according to the relevant trust modes table. Traffic not containing a predefined packet field is mapped to best effort. The possible Trust mode field values are:
–CoS (802.1P) — The output queue assignment is determined by the IEEE802.1p VLAN priority tag (VPT) or by the default VPT assigned to a port.
–DSCP — The output queue assignment is determined by the DSCP field.
