Quality of Service (QoS): Managing Bandwidth More Effectively
Using QoS Classifiers To Configure Quality of Service for Outbound Traffic
If you then decided to remove port A1 from QoS prioritization:
In this instance, No-override indicates
that port A1 is not prioritized by QoS.

Assigning a DSCP Policy Based on the Source-Port
This option assigns a previously configured DSCP policy (codepoint and
802.1p priority) to outbound IP packets (received from the specified source-
ports). That is, the switch:
1. Selects an incoming IP packet on the basis of its source-port on the switch.
2. Overwrites the packet’s DSCP with the DSCP configured in the switch for
such packets.
3. Assigns the 802.1p priority configured in the switch for the new DSCP.
(Refer to “Differentiated Services Codepoint (DSCP) Mapping” on page
8-62.)
4. Forwards the packet through the appropriate outbound port queue.
3400cl/6400cl Switch Restriction.
On the 3400cl/6400cl switches, “mix­
ing” ToS DSCP policies and 802.1p priorities is not recommended. Refer to the
Note on page 8-10.
For more on DSCP, refer to “Terminology” on page 8-5.
Steps for Creating a Policy Based on Source-Port Classifiers.
N o t e
You can select one DSCP per source-port. Also, configuring a new DSCP for
a source-port automatically overwrites (replaces) any previous DSCP or
802.1p priority configuration for that port.)
1. Identify the source-port classifier to which you want to assign a DSCP
policy.
2. Determine the DSCP policy for packets having the selected source-port:
