Configuring Qos Global Parameters; Defining Qos Settings - Dell PowerConnect 6024 User Manual

• Minimum Delay — The queue is assigned to a strict priority policy, and traffic is assigned to
the highest priority queue.
• Ingress Metering/Rate Limiting — A maximum bandwidth value is specified beyond which
all traffic is dropped. This is done by setting a meter at the input for the maximum
bandwidth, and setting the excess policy to drop. In order to effectively configure this service,
the total bandwidth on a specific egress port cannot exceed the port rate.

Configuring QoS Global Parameters

The QoS Global Parameters page contains links to QoS pages on which QoS is enabled, DSCP
values and settings are remapped, network traffic is queued, and traffic classification is defined. To
open the page, click Quality of Service→ QoS Global Parameters in the tree view.

Defining QoS Settings

Use the QoS Global Settings page to select the QoS mode, and to configure the default CoS for
incoming traffic on a selected interface. To open the page, click Quality of Service→ QoS Global
