Configuring QoS

QoS Configuration Overview

QoS configuration involves the following general steps:
1
Configuring Global Parameters. In addition to enabling/disabling QoS, global configuration includes
settings such as global port parameters, default disposition for flows, and various timeouts. The type of
parameters you might want to configure globally will depend on the types of policies you will be configur-
ing. For example, if you want to set up policies for 802.1p or ToS/DSCP traffic, you may want to config-
ure all ports as trusted ports.
Typically, you will not need to change any of the global defaults. See
page 30-10 for a list of the global defaults. See
information about configuring global parameters.
2
Configuring QoS Port Parameters. This configuration includes setting up QoS parameters on a per
port basis. Typically you will not need to change the port defaults. See
for a list of port defaults. See
port parameters.
3
Setting Up Policies. Most QoS configuration involves setting up policies. See
page 30-31.
4
Applying the Configuration. All policy rule configuration and some global parameters must be
specifically applied through the qos apply command before they are active on the switch. See
