Quality of Service (QoS): Managing Bandwidth More Effectively
Using QoS Classifiers To Configure QoS for Outbound Traffic
On switches covered in this guide, “mixing” ToS DSCP policies and 802.1p priorities is not recommended. Refer to the Note on page
For more on DSCP, refer to “Terminology” on page

A codepoint must have an 802.1p priority (0 - 7) before you can configure the codepoint for use in prioritizing packets by

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 priority 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. (Default: For most codepoints,
