Configuring Global Settings
The
Global Settings
page contains information for enabling Trust on the switch
(see the
Trust Mode
field below). This configuration is active when the QoS mode
is Basic mode. Packets entering a QoS domain are classified at the edge of the
QoS domain.
To define the Trust configuration:
STEP 1
Click
Quality of Service
>
QoS Basic Mode
>
Global Settings
. The
Global
Settings
page
is displayed.
STEP 2
Select the
Trust Mode
while the switch is in Basic mode. If a packet CoS level and
DSCP tag are mapped to separate queues, the Trust mode determines the queue
to which the packet is assigned:
•
CoS/802.1p
—Traffic is mapped to queues based on the VPT field in the
VLAN tag, or based on the per-port default CoS/802.1p value (if there is no
VLAN tag on the incoming packet), the actual mapping of the VPT to queue
can be configured in the mapping
CoS/802.1p to Queue
page.
•
DSCP
—All IP traffic is mapped to queues based on the DSCP field in the IP
header. The actual mapping of the DSCP to queue can be configured in the
DSCP to Queue page. If traffic is not IP traffic, it is mapped to the best effort
queue.
•
CoS/802.1p-DSCP
—Either CoS/802.1p or DSCP whichever has been set.
STEP 3
Select
Override Ingress DSCP
to override the original DSCP values in the
incoming packets with the new values according to the DSCP Override Table.
When Override Ingress DSCP is enabled, the switch will use the new DSCP values
for egress queueing. It also replaces the original DSCP values in the packets with
the new DSCP values.
NOTE
The frame is mapped to an egress queue using the new, rewritten
value, and not by the original DSCP value.
STEP 4
If
Override Ingress DSCP
was enabled, click
DSCP Override Table
to
reconfigure DSCP. The
DSCP Override Table
page is displayed.
DSCP In
displays the DSCP value of the incoming packet that needs to be re-
marked to an alternative value.
STEP 5
Select the
DSCP Out
value to indicate the outgoing value is mapped.
