Specifying CoS on Layer 2 Protocol Tunneling Ports
You can specify a class of service (CoS) value globally on all the ingress Layer 2 protocol tunneling
ports. Because the CoS value applies to all the ingress tunneling ports, all the encapsulated PDUs that
are sent out by the switch have the same CoS value. The valid values are from 0–7, and the default CoS
is 5.
To specify a CoS value globally on all the ingress Layer 2 protocol tunneling ports, perform this task in
privileged mode:
This example shows how to set the CoS value to 6:
Console> (enable) set l2protocol-tunnel cos 6
New CoS value is 6.
Console> (enable)
Console> (enable) show l2protocol-tunnel statistics 4/1
Tunneling CoS is set to 6.
