The Classification Setup Screen - ZyXEL Communications SBG5500 Series User Manual

11.4 The Classification Setup Screen

Use this screen to add, edit or delete QoS classifiers. A classifier groups traffic into data flows according
to specific criteria such as the source address, destination address, source port number, destination port
number or incoming interface. For example, you can configure a classifier to select traffic from the
same protocol port (such as Telnet) to form a flow.
You can give different priorities to traffic that the SBG forwards out through the WAN interface. Give high
priority to voice and video to make them run more smoothly. Similarly, give low priority to many large file
downloads so that they do not reduce the quality of other applications.

This field displays whether the classifier is active or not. A green ON button signifies that this
classifier is active. A gray OFF button signifies that this classifier is not active.
Click the slide button to turn on or turn off the classifier.
This is the name of the classifier.
This shows criteria specified in this classifier, for example the interface from which traffic of
this class should come and the source MAC address of traffic that matches this classifier.
This is the DSCP number added to traffic of this classifier.
This is the IEEE 802.1p priority level assigned to traffic of this classifier.
This is the VLAN ID number assigned to traffic of this classifier.
