Mapping IP Precedence to Queue
To map IP precedence to egress queue:
STEP 1
Click
Quality of Service
>
General
>
IP Precedence to Queue
.
STEP 2
Select the egress queue to which the IP precedence is mapped. Eight egress
queues are supported, where queue 8 is the highest priority egress queue and
queue 1 is the lowest priority egress queue.
STEP 3
Click
Apply
. IP precedence values to queues are mapped, and the Running
Configuration is updated.
STEP 4
Click
Restore Defaults
to restore the IP Precedence to Queue mappings to
factory defaults.
Mapping DSCP to Queue
Use the DSCP to Queue page to map IP DSCP to egress queues. The DSCP to
Queue table determines the egress queues of the incoming IP packets based on
their DSCP values. The original VLAN Priority Tag (VPT) of the packet is
unchanged.
It is possible to achieve the desired QoS in a network by simply changing the
DSCP to Queue mapping, the queue schedule method, and bandwidth allocation.
The DSCP to Queue mapping is applicable to IP packets if one of the following
exists:
•
The switch is in QoS basic mode and DSCP is the trusted mode.
•
The switch is in QoS advanced mode and the packets belong to flows that
are DSCP trusted.
Non-IP packets are always classified to the best-effort queue.
To map DSCP values to queues:
STEP 1
Click

>
General
>
DSCP to Queue
.
The
Ingress DSCP
column displays the DSCP value in the incoming packet and its
associated class.
STEP 2
Select the traffic forwarding queue from the
Output Queue
drop-down menu
to
which the DSCP value is mapped.
