Configuring Class of Service, Default Port Priority, and Traffic
Class
This section describes how to configure class of service, default port priority, and traffic
class. For information on how to set the class of service queue options, refer to the
"Configuring Advanced Switch Module Features" section earlier in this chapter.
Class of Service (CoS) for packet prioritization allows you to set priority levels on the switch
module for forwarding packets based on the priority setting information in the packets. The
switch module supports four classes (0-3) of traffic (buffers or queues) for implementing
priority and allows eight priority levels (0-7) to be mapped to the four classes. Traffic from a
specific server port can be given priority over packets from other devices according to the
range of priority levels.
To configure Class of Service, default priority, and traffic class:
1. Highlight Configure Class of Service, Default Priority, and Traffic Class on the
Configuration menu.
2. Press the Enter key. The following screen is displayed.
