Configuring the GbE Interconnect Switch using the Menu-driven Interface
Setting Class of Service
To configure Class of Service:
1. Highlight Configure Class of Service on the Configure Class of Service, Default
Priority and Traffic Class menu.
2. Press the Enter key. The following screen is displayed.
The Class of Service Configuration screen allows you to set the following features:
— Max. Packets—The Class of Service scheduling algorithm starts from the highest
CoS for a given port, sends the maximum number of packets, then moves on to the
next lower CoS. Values from 0 to 255 can be entered in this field. Entering zero
instructs the GbE Interconnect Switch to continue processing packets until there are
no more packets in the CoS transaction queue.
— Max. Latency—The maximum latency is the maximum allowable time a packet
stays in the CoS queue. The packets in this queue are not delayed more than the
amount entered in this field. The timer is disabled when this field is set to zero. Each
unit of this timer is equal to 16 microseconds.
3. After making your changes, highlight APPLY.
4. Press the Enter key.
IMPORTANT: To save the configuration settings permanently, you must enter them into NVRAM
using the Save Changes option on the main menu. Refer to the “Saving Changes” section earlier
in this chapter.
