Differentiated Services 1501
Dell EMC Networking N-Series switch software supports the Traffic
Conditioning Policy
type which is associated with an inbound traffic class
and specifies the actions to be performed on packets meeting the class
rules:
– Marking the packet with a given DSCP, IP precedence, or CoS value.
Traffic to be processed by the DiffServ feature requires an IP header if
the system uses IP Precedence or IP DSCP marking.
– Policing packets by dropping or re-marking those that exceed the
class’s assigned data rate.
– Counting the traffic within the class.
•
Service: Assigns a policy to an interface for inbound traffic.
Default DiffServ Values
Table 43-1 shows the global default values for DiffServ.
NOTE: An 802.1X authenticator or RADIUS server can be used to dynamically
assign DiffServ policy to ports when a host connects to a port and authenticates
by using 802.1X. For more information, see "How Does the Authentication Server
Assign DiffServ Policy?" on page 327
