Creating Input Policy Maps
There are two types of input policy-maps: Layer 3 and Layer 2.
1. Create a Layer 3 input policy map.
CONFIGURATION mode
policy-map-input
Create a Layer 2 input policy map by specifying the keyword layer2 with the policy-map-input command.
2. After you create an input policy map, do one or more of the following:
Applying a Class-Map or Input QoS Policy to a Queue
Applying an Input QoS Policy to an Input Policy Map
Honoring DSCP Values on Ingress Packets
Honoring dot1p Values on Ingress Packets
Enabling Fall Back to Trust Diffserve or dot1p
3. Apply the input policy map to an interface.
Applying a Class-Map or Input QoS Policy to a Queue
To apply a class-map or input QoS policy to a queue, use the following command.

Honoring DSCP Values on Ingress Packets
The Dell Networking OS provides the ability to honor DSCP values on ingress packets using Trust DSCP feature.
.
The following table lists the standard DSCP definitions and indicates to which queues the Dell Networking OS maps DSCP
values. When you configure trust DSCP, the matched packets and matched bytes counters are not incremented in the show
qos statistics command.
NOTE: Packets with DSCP value of 63 are dropped.
