OmniSwitch AOS Release 6 Network Configuration Guide

Traffic prioritization and bandwidth shaping may be the most common types of QoS policies. For these 
policies, any condition may be created; the policy action indicates how the traffic should be prioritized or 
how the bandwidth should be shaped. 

Note. If multiple addresses, services, or ports should be given the same priority, use a policy condition 
group to specify the group and associate the group with the condition. See 

 for more information about groups.

Note that some condition parameters may be used in combination only under particular circumstances; 
also, there are restrictions on condition/action parameter combinations. See 

The following policy action commands are used for traffic prioritization or shaping:

To set up traffic prioritization and/or bandwidth shaping, follow the steps in the next section. For more 
information about command syntax and options, see the OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide.

Note that QoS ports may also be configured for bandwidth shaping through the qos port commands. 

In this example, IP traffic is routed from the 10.10.4.0 network through the OmniSwitch.
