Configuring Quality of Service

Use the features in the QoS tab to configure Quality of Service (QoS) settings on the switch. The 
QoS tab contains links to the following features:
•     
•     
In a typical switch, each physical port consists of one or more queues for transmitting packets on 
the attached network. Multiple queues per port are often provided to give preference to certain 
packets over others based on user-defined criteria. When a packet is queued for transmission in 
a port, the rate at which it is serviced depends on how the queue is configured and possibly the 
amount of traffic present in the other queues of the port. If a delay is necessary, packets get held 
in the queue until the scheduler authorizes the queue for transmission. As queues become full, 
packets have no place to be held for transmission and get dropped by the switch.
QoS is a means of providing consistent, predictable data delivery by distinguishing between 
packets that have strict timing requirements from those that are more tolerant of delay. Packets 
with strict timing requirements are given “special treatment” in a QoS-capable network. With this 
in mind, all elements of the network must be QoS-capable. The presence of at least one node 
which is not QoS-capable creates a deficiency in the network path and the performance of the 
entire packet flow is compromised.
