Releases M.08.90 and M.08.91 Enhancements

QoS Pass-Through Mode SNMP MIB Object. A read-write MIB object,

1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.5.1.7.1.24.1, has been added to the ProCurve switch MIB. The QoS Pass-Through Mode can be changed using either an SNMP network management application or the CLI setmib command.

Syntax: setMIB hpSwitchQosPassThroughModeConfig.0 -i [ 1 2 3 4 ]

Specifies the QoS queue mode to be used by the switch. The number of queues and the size of each queue is determined by the mode selected.

1optimized: Configures two QoS queues: a small queue for Priority 6 and 7 traffic and a large queue for all other traffic.

2typical: Configures four QoS queues: a large queue for Priority 0 and 3 traffic, and three other queues for the remaining traffic. This is the default configuration on the switch and is used when QoS Pass- Through is disabled.

3balanced: Configures four QoS queues of the same size. This configura- tion is the same as was used by software versions prior to M.08.xx.

4one-queue:Configures one QoS queue. By consolidating packet buffer memory, line-rate flows with no loss of data may be achieved.

Note: This mode has a small queue used exclusively by Priority 7 management and control packets.

The following example changes the QoS Pass-Through Mode to one-queue. A show command verifies the new mode.

ProCurve(config)# setMIB hpSwitchQosPassThroughModeConfig.0 -i 4 hpSwitchQosPassThroughModeConfig.0 = 4

ProCurve(config)# show qos-passthrough-mode

Qos passthrough mode : one-queue

ProCurve(config)#

Displaying the Current QoS Pass-Through Mode on the Switch

The following command indicates the current QoS Pass-Through Mode on the switch.

Syntax: show qos-passthrough-mode

This command displays the current QoS Pass-Through Mode configured on the switch. The default mode is typical.
