Classification
Classify the packet
based on the ACL.
Classification
Note
This feature is available only if your switch is running the EI.
Classification is the process of distinguishing one kind of traffic from another by examining the fields
in the packet.
Classification occurs only on a physical interface basis. No support exists for classifying packets at the
VLAN level.
You specify which fields in the frame or packet that you want to use to classify incoming traffic.
For non-IP traffic, you have these classification options:

Marking evaluates the policer and configuration information for the action to be taken when a packet
is out of profile and decides what to do with the packet (pass through a packet without modification,
mark down the DSCP value in the packet, or drop the packet). For more information, see the
"Policing and Marking" section on page
Queueing evaluates the CoS value and determines which of the four egress queues in which to place
the packet.
Scheduling services the four egress queues based on their configured weighted round robin (WRR)
weights.
Actions at ingress
In profile or
out of profile
Policing
Determine if the
packet is in profile or
out of profile based
on the policer
associated with the
filter.
Use the port default. If the frame does not contain a CoS value, the switch assigns the default port
CoS value to the incoming frame.
Trust the CoS value in the incoming frame (configure the port to trust CoS). Layer 2 802.1Q frame
headers carry the CoS value in the three most-significant bits of the Tag Control Information field.
CoS values range from 0 for low priority to 7 for high priority.

Actions at egress
Mark
Based on whether
the packet is in or
out of profile and the
configured
parameters,
determine whether
to pass through,
mark down, or drop
the packet. The
DSCP and CoS are
marked or changed
accordingly.

Configuring QoS
Queueing and
scheduling
Based on the CoS,
determine into which
of the egress
queues to place the
packet. Then service
the queues
according to the
configured weights.
