Ingress Lan Port Features - Cisco 6500 Series Software Configuration Manual

Understanding How PFC QoS Works
Egress LAN Port Features
PFC QoS supports egress LAN port scheduling and congestion avoidance using Layer 2 CoS values.
Egress LAN port marking sets Layer 2 CoS values and Layer 3 DSCP values. See the
Port Features" section on page
Egress OSM Port Features
Ingress PFC QoS sets Layer 3 DSCP values that can be used by the OSM egress QoS features.
MSFC Features
PFC QoS marks IP traffic transmitted to the MSFC with rewritten Layer 3 DSCP values. With PFC2,
CoS is equal to IP precedence in all traffic sent from the MSFC2 to egress ports; with PFC1, CoS is zero.
Traffic that is Layer 3 switched does not go through the MFSC and retains the CoS value assigned by
Note
the PFC.

Ingress LAN Port Trust States
The trust state of an ingress LAN port determines how the port marks, schedules, and classifies received
Layer 2 frames, and whether or not congestion avoidance is implemented. You can configure the trust
state of each ingress LAN port as follows:
•
•
•
•
See the
PFC QoS implements ingress LAN port congestion avoidance only on LAN ports configured to trust
CoS.
Ingress LAN port marking, scheduling, and congestion avoidance use Layer 2 CoS values and does not

use or set Layer 3 IP precedence or DSCP values.
