QoS queues

Mapping between DSCP value and Forwarding Queue cannot be changed. However, mapping
between DSCP values and the other properties can be changed as follows:

DSCP to internal forwarding priority mapping – You can change the mapping between the
DSCP value and the Internal Forwarding priority value from the default values shown in

Table 166

through

Table 169

. This mapping is used for COS marking and determining the

internal priority when the trust level is DSCP. Refer to

“Changing the DSCP –> internal

forwarding priority mappings”

on page 1043.

Internal forwarding priority to forwarding queue – You can reassign an internal forwarding
priority to a different hardware forwarding queue. Refer to

“Changing the internal forwarding

priority –> hardware forwarding queue mappings”

on page 1044.

QoS queues

Devices support the eight QoS queues (qosp0 – qosp7) listed in

Table 170

.

The queue names listed above are the default names. If desired, you can rename the queues as
instructed in

“Renaming the queues”

on page 1046.

Packets are classified and assigned to specific queues based on the criteria shown in

Figure 127

.

Assigning QoS priorities to traffic

By default, all traffic is in the best-effort queue (qosp0) and is honored on tagged ports on all
devices. You can assign traffic to a higher queue based on the following:

Incoming port (sometimes called the ingress port)
