QoS

 

 

Priority. Priority determines the order in which packets will be processed by the router.

Weight. Weight determines the amount of bandwidth to be allocated to a given application.

The router supports four priority levels; High, Medium, Normal and Low. A weight value can be assigned to each of these priority levels from a minimum of 1 to a maximum of 255.

To configure QoS:

1.Click QoS in the left navigation pane of the Router Information page. This displays the QoS Configuration page. This page shows the current settings as well as provides a means to change the current settings.

2.Select one of the following from QoS Status to enable or disable QoS:

On: QoS will forward packets and set diffserv marking based on user defined mapping rules and enabled QoS policies.

Off: QoS will forward packets based on pre-defined mapping rules and enabled QoS policies.

3.To enable or disable marking of the Differentiated Services field of the IP header, select one of the following from DiffServ Status:

On: QoS will mark the DiffServ field according to the QoS Policies and pre-defined behavior.

Off: DiffServ is not marked; this is DiffServ pass through.

4.Assign weight values to four different priorities. This can be a number between 1 and 255.

5.Click Apply.
