Configuring QoS Settings for an Individual Interface

To configure QoS settings for frames received on an individual interface:
1
On the Switching > Layer 2 QoS page under QoS Settings, click the Configure icon in the row for the interface you want to configure. The Edit QoS Settings dialog opens.

2
To enable fixed priority for frames arriving on this interface, select the Fixed Priority check box. This option is disabled by default.
 
NOTE: When Fixed Priority is selected, the remaining check boxes are cleared and disabled (greyed out). The Fixed Priority check box must be cleared before you can select any other check box.

If the Trust CoS and/or Trust DSCP check box is selected, the Fixed Priority check box becomes dimmed and disabled.

The CoS 802.1p tag field and DSCP field are ignored, and the ingress port’s default priority is always used.

If both Trust CoS and Trust DSCP are selected, do one of the following:
Select the Prefer CoS check box to give preference to the CoS 802.1p tag field settings when both the 802.1p tag field and the DSCP field are present in incoming frames. This check box is selected by default.
Clear the Prefer CoS check box to give preference to the DSCP field settings when both the 802.1p tag field and the DSCP field are present in incoming frames.

Normal (default)

If incoming frames do not contain either a CoS 802.1p tag field or a DSCP field, the default priority is used.
