Classification Based On Layer 2 Cos; Classification Based On Ip Precedence; Classification Based On Ip Dscp - Cisco ME 3400 Software Configuration Manual

Understanding QoS

Classification Based on Layer 2 CoS

You can use the match command to classify Layer 2 traffic based on the CoS value, which ranges from
0 to 7.
A match cos command is supported only on Layer 2 802.1Q trunk ports.
Note
This example shows how to create a class map to match a CoS value of 5:
Switch(config)# class-map premium
Switch(config-cmap)# match cos 5
Switch(config-cmap)# exit

Classification Based on IP Precedence

You can classify IPv4 traffic based on the packet IP precedence values, which range from 0 to 7.
This example shows how to create a class map to match an IP precedence value of 4:
Switch(config)# class-map sample
Switch(config-cmap)# match ip precedence 4
Switch(config-cmap)# exit

Classification Based on IP DSCP

When you classify IPv4 traffic based on IP DSCP value, and enter the match ip dscp class-map
configuration command, you have several classification options:
•
•
•
•
•
This display shows the available classification options:
Switch(config-cmap)# match ip dscp ?

Entering a specific DSCP value (0 to 63).
Using the Default service, which corresponds to an IP precedence and DSCP value of 0. The default
per-hop behavior (PHB) is usually best-effort service.
Using Assured Forwarding (AF) by entering the binary representation of the DSCP value. AF sets
the relative probability that a specific class of packets is forwarded when congestion occurs and the
traffic does not exceed the maximum permitted rate. AF per-hop behavior provides delivery of IP
packets in four different AF classes: AF11-13 (the highest), AF21-23, AF31-33, and AF41-43 (the
lowest). Each AF class could be allocated a specific amount of buffer space and drop probabilities,
specified by the binary form of the DSCP number. When congestion occurs, the drop precedence of
a packet determines the relative importance of the packet within the class. An AF41 provides the
best probability of a packet being forwarded from one end of the network to the other.
Entering Class Selector (CS) service values of 1 to 7, corresponding to IP precedence bits in the ToS
field of the packet.
Using Expedited Forwarding (EF) to specify a low-latency path. This corresponds to a DSCP value
of 46. EF services use priority queuing to preempt lower priority traffic classes.
