Configuration example
QoS (Quality of Service) is a technology that provides various traffic classes with various service priorities. 
QoS service allows network applications to co-exist in a single network without altering the bandwidth of other 
applications.
10.1  Basic QoS
In basic mode on ESR routers, classification (routing traffic to the queue) and relabeling works only on the 
input (QoS must be enabled on the interface through which traffic arrives).
10.1.1  Configuration algorithm
Step Description Command Keys
1 Enable QoS on the interface/tunnel/
network bridge.
If QoS policy is not assigned on the 
interface, the interface operates in 
BasicQoS mode.
esr(config-if-gi)# qos enable
2 Set the trust mode for 802.1p and 
DSCP codes values in incoming 
packets (optional).
esr(config)# qos trust <MODE> <MODE> – trust mode for 
802.1p and DSCP codes values, 
takes one of the following 
values:
dscp – trust mode for 
DSCP codes values in IP 
header. Not IP packets 
will be sent to the default 
queue.
cos – trust mode for 
802.1p codes values in 
802.1q tag. Untagged 
packets will be sent to 
the default queue.
cos-dscp – trust mode 
for DSCP codes values in 
IP packets and for 
802.1p codes values in 
other packets.
