the trusted mode at the ports where the CoS/802.1p and/or DSCP values in the 
incoming packets are not trustworthy. Otherwise, it might negatively affect the 
performance of your network
Configuring Global Settings
The 
Global Settings Page
 contains information for enabling Trust on the switch 
(see the Trust Mode field below). This configuration is active when the QoS mode 
is Basic mode. Packets entering a QoS domain are classified at the edge of the 
QoS domain. 
To define the Trust configuration:
STEP 1 Click Quality of Service > QoS Basic Mode > Global Settings. The 
Global 
Settings Page 
opens.
STEP  2 Select the Trust Mode while the switch is in Basic mode. If a packet CoS level and 
DSCP tag are mapped to separate queues, the Trust mode determines the queue 
to which the packet is assigned:
• CoS/802.1p—Traffic is mapped to queues based on the VPT field in the 
VLAN tag, or based on the per-port default CoS/802.1p value (if there is no 
VLAN tag on the incoming packet), the actual mapping of the VPT to queue 
can be configured in the mapping CoS/802.1p to Queue Page.
• DSCP—All IP traffic is mapped to queues based on the DSCP field in the IP 
header. The actual mapping of the DSCP to queue can be configured in the 
DSCP to Queue Page. If traffic is not IP traffic, it is mapped to the best effort 
queue.
STEP  3 Select Override Ingress DSCP to override the original DSCP values in the 
incoming packets with the new values according to the DSCP Override Table. 
When Override Ingress DSCP is enabled, the switch will use the new DSCP values 
for egress queueing. It also replaces the original DSCP values in the packets with 
the new DSCP values. 
NOTE The frame is mapped to an egress queue using the new, rewritten 
value, and not by the original DSCP value. 
STEP  4 If Override Ingress DSCP was enabled, click DSCP Override Table to 
reconfigure DSCP. The DSCP Override Table Page opens.
