Viewing the QoS Configuration

Examples of the show qos output are included with the example for each priority type.

Syntax: show qos < priority-type >

dscp-map

Display the mappings between a DSCP (Differentiated- Services Codepoint) value and associated 802.1p priority. The mapping is used to asign priority for IPv4 packets if a QoS classifier uses this DSCP policy as the method of traffic prioritization.

For configuration, the qos dscp-mapcommand is optional if a priority has already been assigned to the

<codepoint >. The command creates a DSCP policy by assigning an 802.1p priority to a specific DSCP. When the switch applies this policy to a packet, the priority determines the packet’s queue in the outbound port to which it is sent. If the packet leaves the switch on a tagged port, it carries the 802.1p priority with it to the next downstream device. For IPv4 packets, the DSCP will be replaced by the codepoint specified in this command. (Default: No-overridefor most codepoints. See table 6-10 on page 6-33.)
