Setup Guide

You can configure the ingress rate limiting and SID/DID traffic prioritization levels of QoS for the following configurations:
∙ Supported HBA to AG to switch
∙ Unsupported HBA to AG to switch
∙ HBA (all) to Edge AG to Core AG to switch
QoS: Ingress rate limiting
Ingress rate limiting restricts the speed of traffic from a particular device to the switch port. On switches in AG mode, you must configure
ingress rate limiting on F_Ports.
For more information and procedures for configuring this feature, refer to "Ingress Limiting" in the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide .
QoS: SID/DID traffic prioritization
SID/DID traffic prioritization allows you to categorize the traffic flow between a given host and target as having a high or low priority; the
default is medium. For example, you can assign online transaction processing (OLTP) to a high priority and the backup traffic to a low
priority.
For detailed information on this feature, refer to "QoS: SID/DID traffic prioritization" in the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide .
The following figure shows the starting point for QoS in various Brocade and non-Brocade configurations.
