Mapping Tables

During QoS processing, the switch represents the priority of all traffic (including non-IP traffic) with an
QoS label based on the DSCP or CoS value from the classification stage:

During classification, QoS uses configurable mapping tables to derive a corresponding DSCP or
CoS value from a received CoS, DSCP, or IP precedence value. These maps include the
CoS-to-DSCP map and the IP-precedence-to-DSCP map. You configure these maps by using the mls
qos map cos-dscp and the mls qos map ip-prec-dscp global configuration commands.
On an ingress port configured in the DSCP-trusted state, if the DSCP values are different between
the QoS domains, you can apply the configurable DSCP-to-DSCP-mutation map to the port that is
on the boundary between the two QoS domains. You configure this map by using the mls qos map
dscp-mutation global configuration command.
During policing, QoS can assign another DSCP value to an IP or a non-IP packet (if the packet is
out of profile and the policer specifies a marked-down value). This configurable map is called the
policed-DSCP map. You configure this map by using the mls qos map policed-dscp global
configuration command.
