Once you have established one or more traffic classifications and configured one or
more QoS profiles, you can match them together using one of the following commands:
config vlan <name> qosprofile <qosname>
or
config port <slot:portlist> qosprofile <qosname>
You can assign a QoS profile to a MAC entry by using the following command:
create fdbentry <mac_address> vlan <name> [blackhole | <slot:portlist>
| dynamic] {qosprofile <qosname>}
You can assign a QoS profile to an IP address by using the following command:
config ipqos [add | delete] <ip_destination_address> qosprofile
<qosname>

There are multiple queues per physical port in the BlackDiamond. In ingress mode, the
four QoS profiles align to the four queues (for example, qp1 to the first queue, qp2 to
the second queue, and so on). In egress mode, the mapping of QoS profiles to queues is
a function of the particular configuration.
The Port Queue Monitor (PQM) is a utility that monitors all the queues assigned to a
port. The PQM monitors the number of frames and the frames per second a specific
queue is responsible for transmitting on a physical port. The real-time display scrolls
through the given portlist to provide these statistics. The particular port being
monitored at that time is indicated by an asterisk (*) appearing after the port number in
the display.
When the real-time display is not used, the PQM monitors the queue usage in the
background. Error messages are generated by the PQM if the traffic exceeds the
parameters of the QoS profile(s).
