Quality of Service (QoS): Managing Bandwidth More Effectively
Using QoS Classifiers To Configure QoS for Outbound Traffic
Assigning a DSCP Policy Based on TCP or UDP Port Number
This option assigns a previously configured DSCP policy (codepoint and
802.1p priority) to (IPv4) TCP or UDP packets having the specified port
number. That is, the switch:
1. Selects an incoming IP packet if the TCP or UDP port number (or range)
it carries matches the port number specified in the TCP or UDP classifier
(as shown in figure 6-6, above).
2. Overwrites (re-marks) the packet’s DSCP with the new user-configured
DSCP for this type of packet.
3. Assigns the 802.1p priority for that new DSCP codepoint, as configured
automatically or by the user in the QoS DSCP-Map table. (Refer to
“Differentiated Services Codepoint (DSCP) Mapping” on page 6-58.)
4. Forwards the packet through the appropriate outbound port queue.

Steps for Creating a DSCP Policy Based on TCP/UDP Port Number
Classifiers.
This procedure creates a DSCP policy for IPv4 packets carrying
the selected UDP or TCP port-number classifier.
1. Identify the TCP or UDP port-number classifier you want to use for
assigning a DSCP policy.
2. Determine the DSCP policy for packets carrying the selected TCP or UDP
port number.
a. Determine the DSCP you want to assign to the selected packets. (This
codepoint will be used to overwrite (re-mark) the DSCP carried in
packets received from upstream devices.)
b. Determine the 802.1p priority you want to assign to the DSCP.
3. Configure the DSCP policy by using qos dscp-map to configure the priority
to the codepoint you selected in step 2a. (For details, refer to the example
later in this section, and to “Differentiated Services Codepoint (DSCP)
Mapping” on page 6-58.)
