Quality of Service: Managing Bandwidth More Effectively
Globally-Configured QoS

3. If necessary, use the

qos dscp-map < codepoint > priority < 0 - 7 > command

to configure the DSCP policy (codepoint and associated 802.1p priority)
that you want to use to mark matching packets.

P r e r e q u i s i t e

A DSCP codepoint must have a preconfigured 802.1p priority (0 - 7) before
you can use the codepoint to mark matching packets. If a codepoint you want
to use shows

No-override in the Priority column of the DSCP Policy table (show

qos dscp-map command), you must first configure a priority for the codepoint
before proceeding (

qos dscp-map priority command). See “Differentiated Ser­

vices Codepoint (DSCP) Mapping” on page 6-88 for more information.

Syntax: qos dscp-map < codepoint > priority <0 - 7>>

(Optional) This command is required only if an 802.1p
priority is not already assigned to the specified

<codepoint >

in the DSCP Policy table (see Table 6-11 on page 6-89).

Valid values for a DSCP codepoint are as follows:
- A binary value for the six-bit codepoint from

000000 to

111111.
- A decimal value from

0 (low priority) to 63 (high priority)

that corresponds to a binary DSCP bit set
-An ASCII standard name for a binary DSCP bit set:

af11 (001010)

af42 (100100)

af12 (001100)

af43 (100110)

af13 (001110)

ef (101110)

af21 (010010)

cs1 (001000) = precedence 1

af22 (010100)

cs2 (010000) = precedence 2

af23 (010110)

cs3 (011000) = precedence 3

af31 (011010)

cs4 (100000) = precedence 4

af32 (011100)

cs5 (101000) = precedence 5

af33 (011110)

cs6 (110000) = precedence 6

af41 (100010)

cs7 (111000) = precedence 7

default (000000)

Type

? to display the list of valid codepoint entries.

When the switch applies the specified DSCP policy to a
packet, the priority determines the packet’s queue in the
outbound port to which it is sent. If the packet leaves the
switch on a tagged port, it carries the 802.1p priority with
it to the next downstream device. For IP packets, the DSCP
will be replaced by the codepoint specified in this command.
(Default:

No-override for most codepoints. See Table 6-11.)
