5.10.2.3 Overriding a Quality of Service (QoS) Configuration

Overriding the Network Configuration
QoS values are required to provide service priority to packets. For example, VoIP packets get higher priority than data
packets to provide a better quality of service for high priority voice traffic.
The profile QoS screen maps the 6-bit Differentiated Service Code Point (DSCP) code points to the older
3-bit IP Precedent field located in the Type of Service byte of an IP header. DSCP is a protocol for specifying and controlling
network traffic by class so that certain traffic types get precedence. DSCP specifies a specific per-hop behavior that is
applied to a packet. This QoS assignment can be overridden as needed, but removes the device configuration from the
managed profile that may be shared with other similar access point models.
To define an QoS configuration for DSCP mappings:
1. Select Devices
2. Select a target device from the Device Browser in the lower, left-hand, side of the UI
3. Select Profile Overrides
4. Select Network
5. Select Quality of
