Globally-configured traffic marking
If a packet matches one of the globally-configured
packet classifiers, QoS applies one of the following types of traffic
marking to the outbound packet:
- Layer 2 802.1p prioritization
Controls the outbound port-queue priority for traffic leaving the switch, and (if traffic exits through a VLAN-tagged port) sends the priority setting with the individual packets to downstream devices.
- Layer 3 DSCP marking
Enables the switch to set, change, and honor prioritization policies by using the Differentiated Services (diff-serv) bits in the IPv4 ToS byte and IPv6 Traffic Class byte of packet headers.
