By changing the CoS/802.1p to Queue mapping (CoS/802.1p to Queue) and the
Queue schedule method and bandwidth allocation (Queue page), it is possible to
achieve the desired quality of service in a network.
The CoS/802.1p to Queue mapping is applicable only if one of the following exists:
• The device is in QoS Basic mode and CoS/802.1p trusted mode
• The device is in QoS Advanced mode and the packets belong to flows that
are CoS/802.1p trusted
Queue 1 has the lowest priority, queue 4 or 8 has the highest priority.
To map CoS values to egress queues:
STEP 1 Click Quality of Service > General > CoS/802.1p to Queue.
STEP 2 Enter the parameters.
• 802.1p—Displays the 802.1p priority tag values to be assigned to an egress
queue, where 0 is the lowest and 7 is the highest priority.
• Output Queue—Select the egress queue to which the 802.1p priority is
mapped. Either four or eight egress queues are supported, where Queue 4
or Queue 8 is the highest priority egress queue and Queue1 is the lowest
priority.
STEP 3 For each 802.1p priority, select the Output Queue to which it is mapped.
STEP 4 Click Apply. 801.1p priority values to queues are mapped, and the Running
Configuration file is updated.
