Quality of Service (QoS): Managing Bandwidth More Effectively
Using QoS Classifiers To Configure QoS for Outbound Traffic
2. Determine the DSCP policy for packets carrying the selected IP address:
| a. Determine the DSCP you want to assign to the selected packets. (This |
| codepoint will be used to overwrite the DSCP carried in packets |
| received from upstream devices.) |
| b. Determine the 802.1p priority you want to assign to the DSCP. |
| 3. Configure the DSCP policy by using |

| Syntax: qos |
| This command 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. If the packet is IPv4, the packet’s DSCP will be |
| replaced by the codepoint specified in this command. |

| port to which it is sent. If the packet leaves the switch on a |
