ALUES

Use the Traffic > Priority > CoS to DSCP page to maps CoS/CFI values in

incoming packets to per-hop behavior and drop precedence values for

priority processing.

The default mapping of CoS to PHB values is shown in

Table 16 on

page 233

.

Enter up to eight CoS/CFI paired values, per-hop behavior and drop

precedence.

If a packet arrives with a 802.1Q header but it is not an IP packet, then

the CoS/CFI-to-PHB/Drop Precedence mapping table is used to

generate priority and drop precedence values for internal processing.

Note that priority tags in the original packet are not modified by this

command.

The internal DSCP consists of three bits for per-hop behavior (PHB)

which determines the queue to which a packet is sent; and two bits for

drop precedence (namely color) which is used by Random Early

Detection (RED) to control traffic congestion.

RED starts dropping yellow and red packets when the buffer fills up to

16 packets on Fast Ethernet ports and 72 packets on Gigabit Ethernet

ports, and then starts dropping any packets regardless of color when

the buffer fills up to 58 packets on Fast Ethernet ports and 80 packets

on Gigabit Ethernet ports.

The specified mapping applies to all interfaces.

P

ARAMETERS

These parameters are displayed:

CoS – CoS value in ingress packets. (Range: 0-7)

CFI – Canonical Format Indicator. Set to this parameter to “0” to

indicate that the MAC address information carried in the frame is in

canonical format. (Range: 0-1)

PHB – Per-hop behavior, or the priority used for this router hop.

(Range: 0-7)

Drop Precedence – Drop precedence used for Random Early Detection

in controlling traffic congestion. (Range: 0 - Green, 3 - Yellow, 1 - Red)
