Implementation Information
The Dell Networking QoS implementation complies with IEEE 802.1p User Priority Bits for QoS Indication.
It also implements these Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) documents:
● RFC 2474, Definition of the Differentiated Services Field (DS Field) in the IPv4 Headers
● RFC 2475, An Architecture for Differentiated Services
● RFC 2597, Assured Forwarding PHB Group
● RFC 2598, An Expedited Forwarding PHB
You cannot configure port-based and policy-based QoS on the same interface.
Port-Based QoS Configurations
You can configure the following QoS features on an interface.
NOTE: You cannot simultaneously use egress rate shaping and ingress rate policing on the same virtual local area network
(VLAN).
● Setting dot1p Priorities for Incoming Traffic
● Honoring dot1p Priorities on Ingress Traffic
● Configuring Port-Based Rate Policing
● Configuring Port-Based Rate Shaping
Setting dot1p Priorities for Incoming Traffic
The system assigns traffic marked with a priority in a queue based on the following table.
If you set a dot1p priority for a port-channel, all port-channel members are configured with the same value. You cannot assign a
dot1p value to an individual interface in a port-channel.
