Workflow to Configure Advanced QoS Mode
To configure Advanced QoS mode, perform the following:
1. Select Advanced mode for the system by using the
QoS Properties
page
.
Select the Trust Mode using the
Global Settings
page. 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:
•
If internal DSCP values are different from those used on incoming packets,
map the external values to internal values by using the
Out-of-Profile DSCP
Mapping
page. This in turn opens the
DSCP Remarking
page.
2. Create ACLs, as described in
Create ACL Workflow
.
3. If ACLs were defined, create class maps and associate the ACLs with them by
using the
Class Mapping
page
.
4. Create a policy using the
Policy Table
page, and associate the policy with one
or more class maps using the
Policy Class Map
page. You can also specify the
QoS, if needed, by assigning a policer to a class map when you associate the
class map to the policy.
•
Single Policer
—Create a policy that associates a class map with a single
policer by using the
Policy Table
page
and the
Class Mapping
page
.
Within
the policy, define the single policer.
•
Aggregate Policer
—Create a QoS action for each flow that sends all
matching frames to the same policer (aggregate policer) by using the
Aggregate Policer
page. Create a policy that associates a class map with
the aggregate policer by using the
Policy Table
page
.
5. Bind the policy to an interface by using the
Policy Binding
page
.
Configuring Global Settings
The
Global Settings
page contains information for enabling Trust on the switch.
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 Advanced Mode
>
Global Settings
. The
Global
Settings
page
is displayed.
STEP 2
Select the
Trust Mode
while the switch is in Advanced 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:
