To configure the switch using the DiffServ Wizard:
1. Use Traffic Type to define the DiffServ Class. Traffic type options: VOIP, HTTP, FTP,
Telnet, and Every.
2. Ports displays the ports which can be configured to support a DiffServ policy. The DiffServ
policy will be added to selected ports.
3. Use Enable Policing to add policing to the DiffServ Policy. The policing rate will be applied.
4. Committed Rate:
When Policing is enabled, the committed rate will be applied to the policy and the
policing action is set to conform.
When Policing is disabled, the committed rate is not applied and the policy is set to
markdscp.
5. Outbound Priority:
When Policing is enabled, Outbound Priority defines the type of policing conform
action where: High sets action to markdscp ef, Med sets action to markdscp af31, and
Low sets action to send.
When Policing is disabled, Outbound Priority defines the policy where: High sets
policy to mark ipdscp ef, Med sets policy to mark ipdscp af31, Low set policy to mark
ipdscp be.
Basic
From the Basic link, you can access the following pages:
DiffServ Configuration on page 341
DiffServ Configuration
Packets are filtered and processed based on defined criteria. The filtering criteria is defined
by a class. The processing is defined by a policy's attributes. Policy attributes may be defined
on a per-class instance basis, and it is these attributes that are applied when a match occurs.
The configuration process begins with defining one or more match criteria for a class. Then
one or more classes are added to a policy. Policies are then added to interfaces.
Packet processing begins by testing the match criteria for a packet. The 'all' class type option
defines that each match criteria within a class must evaluate to true for a packet to match that
class. The 'any' class type option defines that at least one match criteria must evaluate to true
for a packet to match that class. Classes are tested in the order in which they were added to
the policy. A policy is applied to a packet when a class match within that policy is found.
