2.1 Overview

2.1.1 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.

2.1.2 QoS Profile Application Mode

I. 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.
