Quality of Service: Managing Bandwidth More Effectively
Advanced Classifier-Based QoS
Override of Global QoS Settings
After you apply a QoS policy to an interface, the classifier-based settings
configured by QoS actions in the policy override any 802.1p CoS or DSCP
codepoint values that were globally-configured on the switch to mark packets
using the QoS commands described in “Globally-Configured QoS” on page
5-16.
If you use a classifier-based QoS configuration along with globally-configured
QoS commands, the order of precedence in which 802.1p priority, IP prece-
dence, and DSCP settings mark selected packets is as follows, from highest
(1) to lowest (9):

In a tagged VLAN environment, the incoming 802.1p priority is used as the default QoS
classifier to determine how a packet is handled if no global or classifier-based QoS match
criterion with a higher precedence matches.
