Quality of Service (QoS): Managing Bandwidth More Effectively
Using QoS Classifiers To Configure QoS for Outbound Traffic
The specified DSCP policies overwrite the original DSCPs on the selected packets, and use the 802.1p priorities previously configured in the DSCP policies in step 2.

Details of QoS IP
IP packets include a Type of Service (ToS) byte. The ToS byte includes:
■A Differentiated Services Codepoint (DSCP): This element is com prised of the upper six bits of the ToS byte). There are 64 possible codepoints. In the switches covered by this manual, the default qos configuration includes the codepoint having the 802.1p priority setting for Expedited Forwarding, while all others, including the
Refer to figure
Using the qos dscp map command, you can configure the switch to assign different prioritization policies to IPv4 packets having different code- points. As an alternative, you can configure the switch to assign a new codepoint to an IPv4 packet, along with a corresponding 802.1p priority
a. Configure a specific DSCP with a specific priority in an edge switch.
