CoS/802.1p to a Queue
The CoS/802.1p to Queue page maps 802.1p priorities to egress queues. The CoS/802.1p to
Queue Table determines the egress queues of the incoming packets based on the 802.1p
priority in their VLAN Tags. For incoming untagged packets, the 802.1p priority is the default
CoS/802.1p priority assigned to the ingress ports.
The following table describes the default mapping when there are 8 queues:
By changing the CoS/802.1p to Queue mapping (CoS/802.1p to Queue) and the Queue
schedule method and bandwidth allocation (Queue page), it is possible to achieve the desired
quality of service in a network.
The CoS/802.1p to Queue mapping is applicable only if one of the following exists:
• The device is in QoS Basic mode and CoS/802.1p trusted mode
• The device is in QoS Advanced mode and the packets belong to flows that are CoS/
802.1p trusted
