Configuring QoS Interaction With Other Features
OmniSwitch 6600 Family Network Configuration Guide April 2006 page 24-5
It is possible to configure a valid QoS rule that is active on the switch, however the switch is not able to
enforce the rule because some other switch function (for example, routing) is disabled. See the condition
and condition/action combinations tables for more information about valid combinations (“Condition
Combinations” on page 24-6 and “Condition/Action Combinations” on page 24-7).
Interaction With Other Features
QoS policies may be an integral part of configuring other switch features, such as Link Aggregation. In
addition, QoS settings may affect other features in the switch; or QoS settings may require that other
switch features be configured in a particular way.
A summary of related features is given here:
Dynamic Link Aggregates—Policies may be used to prioritize dynamic link aggregation groups. For
details, see Chapter 13, “Configuring Dynamic Link Aggregation.”
802.1Q—Tagged ports are always trusted, regardless of QoS settings. For information about configur-
ing ports with 802.1Q, see Chapter 11, “Configuring 802.1Q.”
Mobile Ports—Mobile ports are always trusted, regardless of QoS settings. For information about
setting up mobile ports, see Chapter 7, “Assigning Ports to VLANs.”
LDAP Policy Management—Policies may also be configured through the PolicyView application and
stored on an attached LDAP server. LDAP policies may only be modified through PolicyView. For
information about setting up a policy server and managing LDAP policies, see Chapter 23, “Managing
Policy Servers.”
