Rules are associated with a QoS Profile (see above).

To implement QoS on your network, you need to carry out the following actions:

1.Define a service level to determine the priority that will be applied to traffic.

2.Apply a classifier to determine how the incoming traffic will be classified and thus treated by the Switch.

3.Create a QoS profile which associates a service level and a classifier.

4.Apply a QoS profile to a port(s).

4.8.2 QOS Configuration

QoS settings allow customization of packet priority in order to facilitate delivery of data traffic that might be affected by latency problems. The IEEE 802.1p Priority specification uses 8 priority levels to classify data packets. In 802.1p compliant devices, a tag inserted into the packet header is used to identify the priority level of data packets.

The Switch supports four kinds of Traffic classifiers: 802.1P/ Port/MAC/VLANs and four queues.

NOTE: COS: Priority classifiers of the Switch forward packet. COS range is from 0 to 7. Seven is the high class. Zero is the less class. The user may configure the mapping between COS and Traffic classifiers.

1. MAC-COS Mapping

QoS settings allow customization of MAC address to Traffic classifiers.

1.Fill the MAC Address field in the MAC-CoS Mapping Configuration Table in the In the format “xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx “.

2.Fill the mapping number in the CoS (0-7)field.

3.Click on the “OK” button to save.

4.To remove the MAC-CoS mapping item, simply click on the “Delete” button in the Show MAC-CoS Mapping table.
