Differentiated Services Codepoint (DSCP) mapping

A codepoint must have an 802.1p priority assignment (0 - 7) before you can configure a policy for prioritizing packets. If a codepoint you want to use shows No-override in the Priority column of the DSCP map (show qos dscp-map), then you must assign a 0 - 7 priority before proceeding (qos dscp-map priority command).

The DSCP Policy Table associates an 802.1p priority with a specific ToS byte codepoint in an IPv4 packet. This enables you to set a LAN policy that operates independently of 802.1Q VLAN-tagging.

In the default state, most of the 64 codepoints do not assign an 802.1p priority, as indicated by No-override in the table below.

Syntax:


show qos dscp-map
