Setting Traffic Prioritization - HP A7533A - Brocade 4Gb SAN Switch Base Administrator's Manual

• Traffic prioritization is not supported on mirrored ports.
Trunking considerations: If some ports in a trunk group have QoS enabled and some ports have
•
QoS disabled, then two different trunks are formed, one with QoS enabled and one with QoS
disabled.
• Traffic prioritization is enforced on the egress ports only, not on the ingress ports.

Setting traffic prioritization

1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2. Enter the zoneCreate command, using the following syntax:
zonecreate "QOSp_zonename", "member[; member...]"
where:
p
zonename
member
3. Enter the cfgAdd command to add the QoS zone to the zone configuration, using the following
syntax:
cfgadd "cfgname", "QOSp_zonename"
where:
cfgname
QOSp_zonename The name of the QoS zone to be added to the configuration.
4. Enter the cfgSave command to save the change to the defined configuration.
5. Enter the cfgEnable command for the appropriate zone configuration to make the change effective.
cfgenable "cfgname"
where:
cfgname
6. Enter the portCfgQos command to enable QoS on the E_Ports, using the following syntax:
portcfgqos --enable [slot/]port
where:
slot/port
