Policies
QoS policies are created to specify how data is queued and processed according to
it’s Diffserv priority. This section provides an overview of how to manage QoS policies.
Creating Policies
When creating a policy, two options are available from the command line. Each of the
commands creates a new policy by name; the first command adds the policy to the
bottom of the policy list and the second adds the policy to a specified insertion point
within the existing policies.
-> qos append <policy name>
-> qos insert <policy name> <insert before this policy>
In the Web Management interface, the Policy name is created as part of the policy
configuration procedure (see “QoS Policy Configuration page” on page 8-54.)
Policy Parameters
Once a policy has been created, the policy attributes can be configured or modified
using the basic command structure shown below. For managing policies through the
WMI, see “QoS Policy Configuration page” on page 8-54.
NOTE:
A QoS policy status must be disabled before it can be modified or deleted.
qos set [<parameter>] <policy name>
When configuring QoS policies via the CLI, multiple parameters can be entered in the
same command for a single QoS policy; the sequence of parameters in not essential,
but each value must be delineated by a prefix that precedes the parameter value. All
parameters have a prefix with the exception of the policy name, which must be the
last parameter entered to designate the target policy, and status, which is configured
with an alternate command through the CLI. The prefixes and command usage are
shown below.
Policy Name - Defines the specific policy.
Status - Enables and disables the QoS policy.
Source IP -
Specifies the source IP address or range of IP addresses on which the policy will
be applied, or disables source address checking. The command line usage for entering this
parameter is:
-sa <source address> off | <start address>[:end address>]
For example, to add the source address range of 192.168.1.5 to 192.168.1.12 to the
policy "mypolicy" enter the following:
