CHAPTER 14: QUALITY OF SERVICE

CONFIGURING QOS THROUGH THE COMMAND LINE INTERFACE

MULTILINK ML1600 ETHERNET COMMUNICATIONS SWITCH – INSTRUCTION MANUAL

14–5

The

show qos

command displays the QoS settings

show qos [type=<port|tag|tos>] [port=<port|list|range>]

Sometimes it is necessary to change the priority of the packets going out of a switch. For
example, when a packet is received untagged and has to be transmitted with an addition
of the 802.1p priority tag, the tag can be assigned depending on the

untag

value set. For

example if the

untag

command is set to

port=1 tag=2 priority=low

, untagged packets

received on that port will be tagged with a priority low upon transmit.

The

untag

command defines the 802.1p user priority assigned to untagged received

packets to be transmitted as tagged from the priority queue.

set-untag port=<port|list|range> priority=<high|low> tag=<0-7>
