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 A2 devices support Diffserv policy-based provisioning of network resources by
allowing IT administrators to:
• Create, change or remove Diffserv policies based on business-specific use of network services.
• Prioritize and police traffic according to assigned policies and conditions.
• Assign or unassign ports to Diffserv policies so that only ports activated for a policy will be
allowed to transmit frames accordingly.
7.2 PROCESS OVERVIEW: DIFFERENTIATED SERVICES
CONFIGURATION
Use the following steps as a guide to configure Diffserv on the device:
1. Globally enabling or disabling Diffserv (Section 7.3.1)
2. Creating Diffserv traffic classes and matching conditions (Section 7.3.2)
3. Configuring policies and assigning traffic classes (Section 7.3.3)
