Assigning a DSCP Policy Based on the
This option assigns a previously configured DSCP policy (codepoint and 802.1p priority) to outbound IP packets (received from the specified source- ports). That is, the switch:
1.Selects an incoming IP packet on the basis of its
2.Overwrites the packet’s DSCP with the DSCP configured in the switch for such packets.
3.Assigns the 802.1p priority configured in the switch for the new DSCP. (Refer to “Differentiated Services Codepoint (DSCP) Mapping” on page
4.Forwards the packet through the appropriate outbound port queue.
On switches covered in this guide, “mixing” ToS DSCP policies and 802.1p priorities is not recommended. Refer to the Note on page
