Interface QoS Settings
The Interface Settings page enables configuring QoS on each port of the device,
as follows:
QoS State Disabled on an Interface
—All inbound traffic on the port is
mapped to the best effort queue and no classification/prioritization takes
place.
QoS State of the Port is Enabled
—Port prioritize traffic on ingress is
based on the system wide configured trusted mode, which is either CoS/
802.1p trusted mode or DSCP trusted mode.

Configuring QoS Queues
The device supports either 4 or 8 queues for each interface (selected in the
System Mode and Stack Management page). Queue number four or eight is the
highest priority queue. Queue number one is the lowest priority queue.
There are two ways of determining how traffic in queues is handled, Strict Priority
and Weighted Round Robin (WRR).
•
Strict Priority
—Egress traffic from the highest-priority queue is
transmitted first. Traffic from the lower queues is processed only after the
highest queue has been transmitted, thus providing the highest level of
priority of traffic to the highest numbered queue.
