Assigning a priority for a global layer 3 protocol classifier
This global QoS packet-marking option assigns an 802.1p priority to outbound packets having the specified Layer-3 protocol.
Syntax:
qos protocol [ip | ipx | arp | appletalk | sna | netbeui] priority 0 - 7
Configures an 802.1p priority for outbound packets having the specified protocol. This priority determines the packet's queue in the outbound port to which it is sent. If the packet leaves the switch on a tagged port, it carries the 802.1p priority with it to the next downstream device. You can configure one QoS classifier for each protocol type.
Default: No-override
no qos protocol {ip | ipx | arp | appletalk | sna | netbeui} priority 0 - 7
Disables use of the specified protocol as a QoS
classifier and resets the protocol priority to No-override
.
show qos protocol
Lists the QoS protocol classifiers with their priority settings.
Configuring global Layer-3 protocol classifiers
To configure the following global Layer-3 protocol classifiers:
Configure QoS protocol classifiers with IP at 0 (normal), ARP at 5 (medium), and AppleTalk at 7 (high) and display the QoS protocol configuration.
Disable the QoS IP protocol classifier, downgrade the ARP priority to 4, and again display the QoS protocol configuration.
