Using ACLs to honor DSCP-based QoS

This section shows how to configure Brocade devices to honor DSCP-based QoS for routed and
switched traffic.

FCX and ICX devices

Brocade FCX, ICX 6430, ICX 6450, ICX 6610, and ICX 6650 devices support DSCP-based QoS on a
per-port basis. DSCP-based QoS is not automatically honored for switched traffic. The default is
802.1p to CoS mapping. To honor DSCP-based QoS, enter the following command at the interface
level of the CLI.

[no] trust dscp

To disable the configuration, use the no form of the command.

When trust dscp is enabled, the interface honors the Layer 3 DSCP value. By default, the interface
honors the Layer 2 CoS value.

NOTE
The trust dscp command is not supported with 802.1p priority override.

FSX Series devices

FSX devices require the use of an ACL to honor DSCP-based QoS for routed traffic in the Layer 3
image, or for switched traffic in the Layer 2 image. To enable DSCP-based QoS on these devices,
apply an ACL entry such as the following.

device(config)#access-list 101 permit ip any any dscp-cos-mapping

NOTE
Use the bridged-routed keyword in the ACL to honor DSCP for switched traffic in the Layer 3 image.
Refer to "Enabling ACL support for switched traffic in the router image" section in the FastIron Ethernet
Switch Security Configuration Guide
.

NOTE
The access-list 101 permit ip any any dscp-cos-mapping command is supported on the SX-
FI48GPP interface module. For more information on QoS queues for the SX-FI48GPP interface
module, refer to

Queues for the SX-FI48GPP interface module

on page 20.

Trust DSCP for the SX-FI48GPP, SX-FI-24GPP, SX-FI-24HF, SX-FI-2XG,
and SX-FI8XG modules

On the following modules, trust DSCP can be enabled on a per-port basis:

SX-FI48GPP

SX-FI-24GPP

SX-FI-24HF

SX-FI-2XG

SX-FI-8XG
