3.3.5.6Mapping DSCP Priority

The DSCP is six bits wide, enabling coding for up to 64 different forwarding behaviors. The DSCP replaces the ToS bits, but it retains backward compatibility with the three precedence bits so that non-DSCP compliant, ToS-enabled devices, will not conflict with the DSCP mapping. Based on network policies, different kinds of traffic can be marked for different kinds of forwarding. The DSCP default values are defined in the following table. Note that all the DSCP values that are not specified in the following table are mapped to COS value 0.

When mapping DSCP values to COS values through the web interface or CLI, the following parameters can be configured:

DSCP – The current DSCP Priority to COS map.

Class of Service Value – The COS value that is mapped to the selected DSCP Priority value. Note that “0” represents low priority and “7” represents high priority.

Web Interface: Mapping DSCP Priority

1.Open Switch Config Class of Service Layer 3/4 Traffic Prioritisation.

2.Scroll to Mapping DSCP to Class of Service Values.

3.Select an entry from the DSCP table.

4.Select a value from the Class of Service Value menu.

5.Click Save.
