Assigning a DSCP Policy for a Global Source-Port Classifier
This global QoS packet-marking option assigns a previously configured DSCP 
policy (codepoint and 802.1p priority) to outbound IP packets received from 
the specified source-ports. The switch:
1. Selects an incoming IP packet on the basis of its source-port.
2. Overwrites the packet’s DSCP with the DSCP configured for matching 
packets.
3. Assigns the 802.1p priority associated with the new DSCP. (See “Differen-
tiated Services Codepoint (DSCP) Mapping” on page 5-90.)
4. Forwards the packet through the appropriate outbound port queue.
For more on DSCP, refer to “QoS Terminology” on page 5-4.
Creating a Policy Based on Source-Port Classifiers.  
Configuration 
Notes
You can configure only one DSCP per source-port to mark matching packets.
Configuring a new DSCP for a source-port automatically overwrites (replaces) 
any previous DSCP or 802.1p priority configuration for that source-port 
classifier.
1. Identify the source-port classifier to which you want to assign a DSCP 
policy. 
2. Determine the DSCP policy for packets having the selected source-port:
a. Determine the DSCP you want to assign to the selected packets. (This 
codepoint will be used to overwrite the DSCP carried in packets 
received through the source-port from upstream devices.)

  Port priorities
  Port Apply rule  | DSCP   Priority    Radius Override
  ---- ----------- + ------ ----------- ---------------
  1    Priority    |        No-override No-override
  2    Priority    |        6           No-override
  3    Priority    |        6           No-override
  4    Priority    |        5           No-override
In this instance, No-override indicates 
that port 1 is not prioritized by QoS.
