Configuring a QoS Policy for Specific
Protocols

This feature prioritizes network traffic on the basis of these specific protocol
types:

IP

IPX

ARP

DECNet

AppleTalk

SNA

NetBEUI

The Protocol page displays the following:

Protocol—Lists the network protocols for which you can configure a
prioritization policy.

Priority—The priority assigned to traffic for a given protocol policy. For
example, assigning a priority of 7 (high priority) to a given protocol means
that all packets implementing that protocol have the highest priority level.
The default setting for any protocol is No override, which means that no
prioritizing policy exists for that protocol type.

Modify Selected Policy button—Displays the page used for changing the
priority setting for the selected protocol.

Apply All Protocol Policies button—Configures the protocol policy on the
QoS-capable, discovered HP switches on the network. If you have added,
deleted, or changed any protocol policies, you must click on this button
before proceeding.

Return button—Returns you to the Main QoS page.
