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

If you later decided to remove source-port A1 from QoS prioritization, you
would enter the following command:

In this instance, No-override indicates
that port A1 is not prioritized by QoS.

Assigning a DSCP Policy for a Global Source-Port Classifier

This global QoS packet-marking option assigns a previously configured DSCP
policy (codepoint and 802.1p priority) to outbound IP packets received from
the specified source-ports. The switch:

1. Selects an incoming IP packet on the basis of its source-port.

2. Overwrites the packet’s DSCP with the DSCP configured for matching

packets.

3. Assigns the 802.1p priority associated with the new DSCP. (See “Differen­

tiated Services Codepoint (DSCP) Mapping” on page 6-88.)

4. Forwards the packet through the appropriate outbound port queue.

For more on DSCP, refer to “QoS Terminology” on page 6-7.

Creating a Policy Based on Source-Port Classifiers.

C o n f i g u r a t i o n

You can configure only one DSCP per source-port to mark matching packets.

N o t e s

Configuring a new DSCP for a source-port automatically overwrites (replaces)
any previous DSCP or 802.1p priority configuration for that source-port
classifier.

1. Identify the source-port classifier to which you want to assign a DSCP

policy.

2. Determine the DSCP policy for packets having the selected source-port:

a. Determine the DSCP you want to assign to the selected packets. (This

codepoint will be used to overwrite the DSCP carried in packets
received through the source-port from upstream devices.)
