Command Modes Global configuration mode
Command History
Usage Guidelines Use this command to specify the name of the class for which you want to create or modify class-map
match criteria and to enter class-map configuration mode. Packets are checked against the match criteria
configured for a class map to decide if the packet belongs to that class. If a packet matches the specified
criteria, the packet is considered a member of the class and is forwarded according to the quality of
service (QoS) specifications set in the traffic policy.
After you enter the class-map command, the switch enters class-map configuration mode, and these
configuration commands are available:
• description Describes the class map (up to 200 characters). The show class-map privileged EXEC
command displays the description and the name of the class map.
• exit Exits from QoS class-map configuration mode.
• match Configures classification criteria. For more information, see the match (class-map
configuration) command.
• no Removes a match statement from a class map.
match-all (Optional) Perform a logical-AND of all matching under this class map. All
criteria in the class map must be matched.
match-any (Optional) Perform a logical-OR of the matching statements under this class
map. One or more criteria in the class map must be matched.
class-map-name Name of the class map.
