Port Status and Basic Configuration 
QoS Passthrough Mode 
optimized: Consists of two queues; a smaller queue for protocol 
packets and a larger queue for all other traffic. 
typical: Consists of four queues consisting of a large queue for 
normal traffic and small queues for protocol and low priority 
traffic. This is the default configuration. 
For example: 
ProCurve(config)# qos-passthrough-mode  
Command will take effect after saving configuration and   
reboot  
ProCurve(config)# write memory  
ProCurve(config)# reload  
This command can be enabled and disabled only from the switch's CLI. QoS 
Passthrough Mode cannot be enabled or disabled through either the switch's 
menu or web browser interfaces. 
Once enabled, this feature adds qos-passthrough-mode to the switch’s startup-
config file. For example, in an otherwise default configuration, executing show 
config lists the startup-config file (with QoS Passthrough Mode enabled) as 
follows: 
ProCurve(config)# show config
