—Configures the system to use the TCP/UDP destination port of
the incoming packet to map the packet to the output priority queues. The mapping of the
TCP/UDP destination port to a priority queue is set on a per system basis, in two separate

—All traffic is classified to the best effort service.
After packets are assigned to a specific queue, using the chosen classification method various
services can be applied. Scheduling for output queues can be configured, including:
Strict priority.
Weighted Round Robin (WRR)
A combination of these methods.
Scheduling schemes are specified per system. WRR weights to the queues can be assigned in any
order. The weight settings are available on a per port basis.
For each interface or queue, the following output shaping can also be configured:
Burst size.
Committed Information Rate (CIR).
Actions for over-the-limit traffic.

QoS is enabled in the PowerConnect 6024/6024F in either basic or advanced QoS mode.
