QoS Priority Configuration
The switch supports basic QoS operation with the ability to map the 0-7 priority levels in
IEEE802.1p to either the low or high priority egress queue buffers. In addition the relative
weighting of high to low packets egressing from the switch can also be programmed. This menu
section is selected from the Switch Configuration menu screen.
Modify the Egress Mapping
After the Priority Configuration menu has been selected, the priority screen is displayed and this
enables the control of the QoS egress mapping. To adjust the mapping, select <
Edit
> from the
action line and the cursor moves to the first map level. Use the <
Space
> key to toggle between
<
Low
> and <
High
> settings. The default mapping is Levels 0-3 are Low priority and Levels 4-7
are High priority.
Modify the Egress Weighting
The switch can be programmed to control the relative flow of high and low priority packets from
the egress port. Note that this weighting algorithm is applied to the whole switch and not specific
ports. To adjust the weighting algorithm, select <
Edit
> from the action line and the cursor
moves to the first map level. Use the <
Tab
> key to move through the mapping options to the
High/Low Queue Service Ratio
field. Then select the required algorithm using the <
Space
>
key. The weighting options are:-
