4.2 Basic Configuration
This section contains the following topics related to creating and applying network 
QoS policies for the IP domain and the bridging domain:
• Configuring a Network QoS Policy 
• Creating a Network QoS Policy 
• Applying Network QoS Policies
• Default Network QoS Policy Values
A basic network QoS policy must conform to the following rule.
• Each network QoS policy must have a unique policy ID.
4.2.1 Configuring a Network QoS Policy
Configuring and applying QoS policies other than the default policy is optional. 
Define the following parameters to configure a network QoS policy (see Default 
Network QoS Policy Values for default values):
• a network policy ID value — the system does not dynamically assign a value
• a network policy type — the type of network policy can be ip-interface for IP 
domain policies (to configure ingress and egress criteria), or ring for bridging 
domain policies (to configure ring criteria), or default (to set any network policy 
to its default values) 
• a description — a text string description of policy features
• scope — the policy scope as exclusive or template
• egress criteria — you can modify egress criteria to customize the forwarding 
class to be instantiated. Otherwise, the default values are applied.
− dot1p — the dot1p-in-profile and dot1p-out-profile mapping for the 
forwarding class
− DSCP — the DSCP value is used for all GRE and IP packets (in or out of 
profile) requiring marking that egress on this forwarding class
− LSP EXP — the EXP value is used for all MPLS labeled packets (in or out 
of profile) requiring marking that egress on this forwarding class
