5.10.2.5 Overriding a Quality of Service (QoS) Configuration
Overriding the Network Configuration
QoS values are required to provide service priority to packets. For example, VoIP packets get higher priority than data
packets to provide a better quality of service for high priority voice traffic.
The profile QoS screen maps the 6-bit Differentiated Service Code Point (DSCP) code points to the older
3-bit IP Precedent field located in the Type of Service byte of an IP header. DSCP is a protocol for specifying and
controlling network traffic by class so that certain traffic types get precedence. DSCP specifies a specific per-hop
behavior that is applied to a packet. This QoS assignment can be overridden as needed, but removes the device
configuration from the managed profile that may be shared with other similar access point models.
To define an QoS configuration for DSCP mappings:
1. Select

2. Select a target device from the Device Browser in the lower, left-hand, side of the UI
