Insight Managed 28-Port Gigabit Ethernet Smart Cloud Switch with 2 SFP 1G & 2 SFP+ 10G Fiber Ports
The switch supports DiffServ.
The DiffServ feature contains a number of conceptual QoS building blocks that you can use
to construct a differentiated service network. Use these same blocks in different ways to build
other types of QoS architectures.
You must configure three key QoS building blocks for DiffServ:
•
Class
•
Policy
•
Service (the assignment of a policy to a directional interface)
Class
You can classify incoming packets at Layers 2, 3, and 4 by letting the switch inspect the
following information for a packet:
•
Source/destination MAC address
•
EtherType
•
Class of Service (802.1p priority) value (first/only VLAN tag)
•
VLAN ID range (first/only VLAN tag)
•
IP Service Type octet (also known as: ToS bits, Precedence value, DSCP value)
•
Layer 4 protocol (such as TCP or UDP)
•
Layer 4 source/destination ports
•
Source/destination IP address
From a DiffServ point of view, two types of classes exist:
•
DiffServ traffic classes
•
DiffServ service levels/forwarding classes
DiffServ Traffic Classes
With DiffServ, you define which traffic classes to track on an ingress interface. You can define
simple BA classifiers (DSCP) and a wide variety of multifield (MF) classifiers:
•
Layer 2; Layers 3, 4 (IP only)
•
Protocol-based
•
Address-based
You can combine these classifiers with logical AND or OR operations to build complex
MF-classifiers (by specifying a class type of
all
or
any
, respectively). That is, within a single
class, multiple match criteria are grouped together as an AND expression or a sequential OR
expression, depending on the defined class type. Only classes of the same type can be
nested; class nesting does not allow for the negation (
exclude
option) of the referenced
class.
