5.4.2.3 Overriding a Profile’s Quality of Service (QoS) Configuration
Overriding a Profile’s Network Configuration
QoS values are required to provide priority of service to some packets over others. For example, VoIP packets
get higher priority than data packets to provide a better quality of service for high priority voice traffic.
The profile QoS screen maps the 6-bit Differentiated Service Code Point (DSCP) code points to the older
3-bit IP Precedent field located in the Type of Service byte of an IP header. DSCP is a protocol for specifying
and controlling network traffic by class so that certain traffic types get precedence. DSCP specifies a specific
per-hop behavior that is applied to a packet. This QoS assignment can be overridden as needed, but removes
the device configuration from the managed profile that may be shared with other similar device models.
To define an QoS configuration for DSCP mappings:
1. Select Devices from the Configuration tab.
2. Select a target device (by double-clicking it) from amongst those displayed within the Device
Configuration screen.
Devices can also be selected directly from the Device Browser in the lower, left-hand, side of the UI.
3. Select Profile Overrides from the Device menu to expand it into sub menu options.
4. Select Network to expand its sub menu options.
5. Select Quality of Service.
NOTE: A blue override icon (to the left of a parameter) defines the parameter as having
an override applied. To revert the override back to its original profile setting, select the
override icon to display an Action pop-up. Select the Remove Override checkbox to
revert the override to its original setting for this profile.
