Configuring Differentiated Services 1103
PowerConnect 7000 Series switch 
software supports the 
Traffic 
Conditioning Policy
 type which is associated with an inbound traffic class 
and specifies the actions to be performed on packets meeting the class 
rules:
– Marking the packet with a given DSCP, IP precedence, or CoS value. 
Traffic to be processed by the DiffServ feature requires an IP header if 
the system uses IP Precedence or IP DSCP marking. 
– Policing packets by dropping or re-marking those that exceed the 
class’s assigned data rate.
– Counting the traffic within the class.
•
Service: 
Assigns a policy to an interface for inbound traffic.
Default DiffServ Values
Table 39-1 shows the global default values for DiffServ.
NOTE: You can use an 802.1X authenticator or RADIUS server to dynamically 
assign DiffServ filters to ports when a host connects to a port and authenticates 
by using 802.1X. For more information, see "How Does the Authentication Server 
Assign DiffServ Filters?" on page 489
