4.10Configuring QoS to Prioritize Traffic

This section contains tutorials on how you can configure the QoS screen.

Let’s say you are a team leader of a small sales branch office. You want to prioritize e-mail traffic because your task includes sending urgent updates to clients at least twice every hour. You also upload data files (such as logs and e-mail archives) to the FTP server throughout the day. Your colleagues use the Internet for research, as well as chat applications for communicating with other branch offices.

In the following figure you want to configure QoS so that e-mail traffic gets the highest priority. You can do the following:

•Configure a queue to assign the highest priority queue (1) to e-mail traffic from the LAN interface, so that e-mail traffic would not get delayed when there is network congestion.

•Note the MAC address (AA:FF:AA:FF:AA:FF for example) of your computer and map it to queue 1.

Note: QoS is applied to traffic flowing out of the AMG1312-T Series.

Traffic that does not match this class is assigned a priority queue based on the internal QoS mapping table on the AMG1312-T Series.
