Configuring QoS Applying the Configuration
OmniSwitch AOS Release 8 Network Configuration Guide December 2017 page 26-71
Applying the Configuration
Configuration for policy rules and many global QoS parameters must specifically be applied to the
configuration with the qos apply command. Any parameters configured without this command are
maintained for the current session but are not yet activated. For example, if you configure a new policy
rule through the policy rule command, the switch cannot use it to classify traffic and enforce the policy
action until the qos apply command is entered. For example:
-> policy rule my_rule condition c4 action a5
-> qos apply
The qos apply command must be included in an ASCII text configuration file when QoS commands are
included. The command must be included after the last QoS command.
When the configuration is not yet applied, it is referred to as the pending configuration.
Global Commands. Many global QoS commands are active immediately on the switch without qos
apply. The settings configured by these commands become active immediately. Other global commands
must specifically be applied. The commands are listed in the following table:
Port and Policy Commands. All port parameters and policy parameters must be applied with the qos
apply command.
The pending configuration is useful for reviewing policy rules before actually applying them to the switch.
Applied policy rules can also be administratively disabled (inactive). If a rule is administratively disabled,
the rule exists in the applied configuration but does not be used to classify flows. For more information
about disabling/re-enabling a policy rule, see “Creating Policy Rules” on page 26-46.
Deleting the Pending Configuration
Policy settings that have been configured but not applied through the qos apply command can be returned
to the last applied settings through the qos revert command. For example:
-> qos revert
This command ignores any pending policies (any additions, modifications, or deletions to the policy
configuration since the last qos apply) and writes the last applied policies to the pending configuration. At
this point, the pending policies are the same as the last applied policies.
