Priority. Priority determines the order in which packets will be processed by the router.
•
Weight. Weight determines the amount of bandwidth to be allocated to a given application.
The router supports four priority levels; High, Medium, Normal and Low. A weight value can be assigned to
each of these priority levels from a minimum of 1 to a maximum of 255.
To configure QoS:
1. Click QoS in the left navigation pane of the Router Information page. This displays the QoS Configuration
page. This page shows the current settings as well as provides a means to change the current settings.
2. Select one of the following from QoS Status to enable or disable QoS:
•
On: QoS will forward packets and set diffserv marking based on user defined mapping rules and
enabled QoS policies.
•
Off: QoS will forward packets based on pre-defined mapping rules and enabled QoS policies.
3. To enable or disable marking of the Differentiated Services field of the IP header, select one of the
following from DiffServ Status:
•
On: QoS will mark the DiffServ field according to the QoS Policies and pre-defined behavior.
•
