Quality of Service


Quality of Service (QoS) policies consist of a set of rules. These rules are used for traffic classification and to associate different priorities and quality of service to a specific flow.


[Note] You must create forwarding rules before you can define QoS policies.


The following is an overview of the steps for configuring QoS policy:

    1. Create or select a policy that is not currently active; that is, the one that is not selected as the default.
    2. Create rules by clicking the Create or Copy button.
    3. Click the Apply button to apply the attributes to the current rule.
    4. Make sure that the order of the rules are correct, that is, most specific rules before less specific rules. Use the Move button to rearrange rule order if necessary.
    5. When you are done with rule editing, click the Up button until you reach the QoS policy page.
    6. Select the desired policy and click the Use As Default button.
    7. Click the Save button in the Config Tool main menu to save the policies and rules to the database.
