Dynamic Mode CoS for VLAN Stacking
One of the ways to ensure quality of service for customer VLAN-tagged frames is to use the 802.1p priority bits in the tag to
indicate the level of QoS desired.
When an S-Tag is added to incoming customer frames, the 802.1p bits on the S-Tag may be configured statically for each
customer or derived from the C-Tag using Dynamic Mode CoS. Dynamic Mode CoS maps the C-Tag 802.1p value to a S-Tag
802.1p value.

When configuring Dynamic Mode CoS, you have two options:
• Option 1: Mark the S-Tag dot1p and queue the frame according to the original C-Tag dot1p. In this case, you must have
other dot1p QoS configurations; this option is classic dot1p marking.
