Quality of Service (QoS): Managing Bandwidth More Effectively 
Using QoS Classifiers To Configure QoS for Outbound Traffic 
Executing this command 
displays the current ToS 
configuration and shows that the 
selected DSCP is not currently in 
use. 
The 000110 codepoint is unused, 
and thus available for directly 
assigning an 802.1p priority 
without changing the packet’s 
DSCP. 
Note: All codepoints without a 
“DSCP Policy” entry are 
available for direct 802.1p priority 
assignment. 
Figure 6-16.  Example Showing Codepoints Available for Direct 802.1p Priority 
Assignments 
Notice that codepoints 000000 and 001001 are named as DSCP 
policies by other codepoints (000001 and 000110 respectively). This 
means they are not available for changing to a different 802.1p priority. 
Outbound IP packets 
with a DSCP of 000110 
will have a priority of 7.
