User Manual for the NETGEAR 7300 Series Layer 3 Managed Switch Software

Chapter 10 CLI Commands: Differentiated Services

This chapter contains the CLI commands used for the QOS Differentiated Services (DiffServ) package.

The user configures DiffServ in several stages by specifying:

1.Class

creating and deleting classes

defining match criteria for a class.

Note: The only way to remove an individual match criterion from an existing class definition is to delete the class and re-create it.

2.Policy

creating and deleting policies

associating classes with a policy

defining policy statements for a policy/class combination

3.Service

adding and removing a policy to/from a directional (i.e., inbound, outbound) interface

Packets are filtered and processed based on defined criteria. The filtering criteria is defined by a class. The processing is defined by a policy's attributes. Policy attributes may be defined on a per- class instance basis, and it is these attributes that are applied when a match occurs.

Packet processing begins by testing the match criteria for a packet. A policy is applied to a packet when a class match within that policy is found.
