GS752TP, GS728TP, and GS728TPP Gigabit Smart Switches

• Layer 4 protocol (such as TCP or UDP)

• Layer 4 source and destination ports

• Source and destination IP addresses

From a DiffServ point of view, there are two types of classes:

• DiffServ traffic classes

• DiffServ service levels or forwarding classes

DiffServ Traffic Classes

With DiffServ, you define which traffic classes to track on an ingress interface. You can define

simple BA classifiers (DSCP) and a wide variety of multifield (MF) classifiers:

• Layer 2; Layers 3, 4 (IP only)

• Protocol-based

• Address-based

You can combine these classifiers with logical AND or OR operations to build complex

MF-classifiers (by specifying a class type of all or any, respectively). That is, within a single

class, multiple match criteria are grouped as an AND expression or a sequential OR

expression, depending on the defined class type. Only classes of the same type can be

nested; class nesting does not allow for the negation (that is, exclude option) of the

referenced class.

To configure DiffServ, you must define service levels, namely the forwarding classes, or

PHBs identified by a given DSCP value, on the egress interface. You define the service

levels by configuring BA classes for each.

Create Policies

Use DiffServ policies to associate a collection of classes that you configure with one or more

QoS policy statements. The result of this association is referred to as a policy.

From a DiffServ perspective, there are two types of policies:

• Traffic Conditioning Policy. A policy applied to a DiffServ traffic class

• Service Provisioning Policy. A policy applied to a DiffServ service level

You must manually configure the various statements and rules used in the traffic conditioning

and service provisioning policies to achieve the desired Traffic Conditioning Specification

(TCS) and the Service Level Specification (SLS) operation, respectively.

Traffic Conditioning Policy

Traffic conditioning pertains to actions performed on incoming traffic. Several distinct QoS

actions are associated with traffic conditioning:

1 2 ... 255 256 257 258 259 260 261 262 263 264 265 ... 276 277
