PowerConnect 8000-series and 8100-series switches software supports
the Traffic Conditioning Policy type which is associated with an inbound
traffic class and specifies the actions to be performed on packets meeting
the class rules:
–
Marking the packet with a given DSCP, IP precedence, or CoS value.
Traffic to be processed by the DiffServ feature requires an IP header if
the system uses IP Precedence or IP DSCP marking.
–
Policing packets by dropping or re-marking those that exceed the
class's assigned data rate.
–
Counting the traffic within the class.
•
Service: Assigns a policy to an interface for inbound traffic.
NOTE:
You can use an 802.1X authenticator or RADIUS server to dynamically
assign DiffServ filters to ports when a host connects to a port and authenticates
by using 802.1X. For more information, see "How Does the Authentication Server
Assign DiffServ Filters?" on page 465
