Overview

Introduction to QoS Profile

A QoS profile is a set of QoS configurations. It provides an easy way for performing and
managing QoS configurations. A QoS profile can contain one or multiple QoS functions. In
networks where hosts change their positions frequently, you can define QoS policies for
the hosts and add the QoS policies to a QoS profile. When a host is connected to another
port of a switch, you can simply apply the corresponding QoS profile to the port to maintain
the same QoS configuration performed for the host.
Currently, a QoS profile can contain configurations concerning packet filtering, traffic
policing, and priority marking.

QoS Profile Application Mode

Dynamic application mode
A QoS profile can be applied dynamically to a user or a group of users passing the 802.1x
authentication. To apply QoS profiles dynamically, a user name-to-QoS profile mapping
table is required on the AAA server. For a switch operating in this mode, after a user passes
the 802.1x authentication, the switch searches for the QoS profile corresponding to the
user name in the user name-to-QoS profile mapping table and then applies the QoS profile
to the port the user is connected to.
Corresponding to the 802.1x authentication modes, the dynamic QoS profile application
mode can be user-based or port-based.
