Using the QoS Tab

The navigation tabs on the top of the home page include a QoS tab that lets you manage your GS108T Gigabit Smart Switch using features under the following main menu commands and subcommnands:

“CoS

“Basic—QoS Global Configuration

“Basic—Rate Limit

“Advanced—801.1p to Queue Mapping

“Advanced—DSCP Priority Mapping

The sections that follow in this chapter cover these features and tell you how to configure them in the GS108T Smart Switch.

CoS

The class of service (CoS) menu lets you classify specific traffic at the Layer 2 level by manipulating the CoS bits, thereby allowing you to configure quality of service (QoS).

Basic—QoS Global Configuration

There are two possible priority tag settings for the QoS; that is, there are two QoS modes:

802.1p-based. The eight priority tags that are specified in IEEE 802.1p are p0 to p7. The QoS setting lets you map each of the eight priority levels to one of four internal hardware priority queues: High, Normal, Low, and Lowest.
