Patton electronic 2800 user manual Specifying layer 2 marking, Nodesrc name#set ip dscp value

OnSite 2800 Series User Manual 8 • Link scheduler configuration

“traffic-class” number called. With OnSite you can inspect the DSCP value in the ACL rules and modify the DSCP value with the link scheduler set ip dscp command.

Note When configuring service differentiation on the OnSite router, ensure that codepoint settings are arranged with the service provider.

The command set ip dscp sets the DS field applied to packets of the class name. Additionally shaping may be needed to make the class conformant. The no form of this command disables packet marking.

Mode: Source

Command	Purpose
node(src)[name]#set ip dscp value	Defines the Differentiated Services Codepoint value applied to
	packets of for the selected class or policy name. The range for
	value is from 0 to 63.

Specifying layer 2 marking

The IEEE ratified the 802.1p standard for traffic prioritization in response to the realization that different traf- fic classes have different priority needs. This standard defines how network frames are tagged with user priority levels ranging from 7 (highest priority) to 0 (lowest priority). 802.1p-compliant network infrastructure devices, such as switches and routers, prioritize traffic delivery according to the user priority tag, giving higher priority frames precedence over lower priority or non-tagged frames. This means that time-critical data can receive preferential treatment over non-time-critical data.

Under 802.1p, a 4-byte Tag Control Info (TCI) field is inserted in the Layer 2 header between the Source Address and the MAC Client Type/Length field of an Ethernet Frame. Table 12 lists the tag components.

Table 12. Traffic control info (TCI) field

Tag Control Field	Description
Tagged Frame Type Interpretation	Always set to 8100h for Ethernet frames (802.3ac tag format)
3-Bit Priority Field (802.1p)	Value from 0 to 7 representing user priority levels (7 is the highest)
Canonical	Always set to 0
12-Bit 802.1Q VLAN Identifier	VLAN identification number

802.1p-compliant infrastructure devices read the 3-bit user priority field and route the frame through an inter- nal buffer/queue mapped to the corresponding user priority level.

The command set layer2 cos specifies the layer 2 marking applied to packets of this class by setting the 3-bit priority field (802.1p). The no form of this command disables packet marking.

Please note that the Ethernet port must be configured for 802.1Q framing. Standard framing has no class-of- service field.

Mode: Source

Command	Purpose
node(src)[name]#set layer2 cos value	Defines the Class-Of-Service value applied to packets of for the
	selected class or policy name. The range for value is from 0 to 7.
