Differentiated Services Configuration
This chapter describes the Differentiated Services (Diffserv) set of commands and how to use them.
7.1 DIFFERENTIATED SERVICES CONFIGURATION SUMMARY
SecureStack B2 devices support Diffserv policy profile-based provisioning of network resources by
allowing IT administrators to:
• Create, change or remove Diffserv user profiles based on business-specific use of network
services.
• Prioritize and police traffic according to assigned policy profiles and conditions.
• Assign or unassign ports to Diffserv policy profiles so that only ports activated for a profile will
be allowed to transmit frames accordingly.
7.2 PROCESS OVERVIEW: DIFFERENTIATED SERVICES

1. Globally enabling or disabling Diffserv (Section 7.3.1)
