18.7 DiffServ
DiffServ is a class of service (CoS) model that marks packets so that they receive specific per-
hop treatment at DiffServ-compliant network devices along the route based on the application
types and traffic flow. Packets are marked with DiffServ Code Points (DSCPs) indicating the
level of service desired. This allows the intermediary DiffServ-compliant network devices to
handle the packets differently depending on the code points without the need to negotiate paths
or remember state information for every flow. In addition, applications do not have to request
a particular service or give advanced notice of where the traffic is going.
You can configure the DSCP to IEEE802.1p mapping to allow the switch to prioritize all
traffic based on the incoming DSCP value according to the DiffServ to IEEE802.1p mapping
table.
The following table shows the default DSCP-to-IEEE802.1P mapping.

LABEL
DESCRIPTION
Active
Select this option to enable this VRRP interface.
Name

Advertisement Interval Specify the number of seconds between Hello message transmissions. The
default is 1.
Preempt Mode
Select this option to activate preempt mode.
Priority
Enter a number (between 1 and 254) to set the priority level. The bigger the
number, the higher the priority.
This field is 100 by default.
Uplink Gateway
Enter the IP address of the uplink gateway in dotted decimal notation.
The switch checks the link to the uplink gateway.
Primary Virtual IP
Enter the IP address of the primary virtual router in dotted decimal notation.
Secondary Virtual IP
This field is optional. Enter the IP address of a secondary virtual router in
dotted decimal notation. This field is ignored when you enter 0.0.0.0.
