TCP Congestion Avoidance
The TCP Congestion Avoidance Page enables activating a TCP congestion 
avoidance algorithm. The algorithm breaks up or avoids TCP global 
synchronization in a congested node, where the congestion is due to various 
sources sending packets with the same byte count.
To configure TCP congestion avoidance:
STEP 1 Click Quality of Service > General > TCP Congestion Avoidance. The TCP 
Congestion Avoidance Page opens.
STEP  2 Click Enable to enable TCP congestion avoidance, and click Apply.
QoS Basic Mode
In QoS Basic mode, a specific domain in the network can be defined as trusted. 
Within that domain, packets are marked with 802.1p priority and/or DSCP to signal 
the type of service they require. Nodes within the domain use these fields to 
assign the packet to a specific output queue. The initial packet classification and 
marking of these fields is done in the ingress of the trusted domain.
Workflow to Configure Basic QoS Mode 
To configure Basic QoS mode, perform the following:
1. Select Basic mode for the system by using the 
QoS Properties Page. 
2. Select the trust-behavior using the 
Global Setting Page
. The switch supports 
CoS/802.1p trusted mode and DSCP trusted mode. CoS/802.1p trusted mode 
uses the 802.1p priority in the VLAN tag. DSCP trusted mode use the DSCP 
value in the IP header. 
3. If there is any port that, as an exception, should not trust the incoming CoS mark, 
disable the QoS state on that port using the 
Interface Settings Page.
Enable or disable the global selected trusted mode at the ports by using the 
Interface Settings Page. If a port is disabled without trusted mode, all its 
ingress packets are forward in best effort. It is recommended that you disable
