Quality of Service (QoS): Managing Bandwidth More Effectively

QoS Queue Configuration

Note Before changing the traffic groups’ priority mappings from the defaults, it is

important to examine the current policies that act on 802.1p priorities to

ensure that the policies best serve the behavior desired on the network,

including DSCP, VLAN, interface, or protocol rules.

Figure 5-33. Example of Removing Priorities from a Traffic Group

After removing the priority from the currently mapped queue, the template

becomes invalid because priority 0 is no longer mapped to any queue.

Figure 5-34. Example of Invalid Traffic Template Because a Priority is Unmapped

Mapping the priority to a new queue results in a valid traffic template.
