4.3.7.3 Configure TOS/DiffServ Priority

The IP header contains an eight-bit field originally known as the

Type of Service (TOS)

field — but TOS priority had little acceptance. Subsequently, these eight bits were

redefined to become the more popular

Differentiated Services (DiffServ) field.

When configuring the TOS/DiffServ priority (Figure 23), you must choose TOS or

DiffServ. This sample screen is for an 24-port switch.

Figure 23 — Configure TOS/DiffServ Priority

You register your choice of QoS in the topmost field which is labelled

QoS Type (the

default setting is TOS). Below the TOS/DiffServ selection field are the fields for

enabling or disabling the individual ports. Fewer ports would be displayed for an 8- or

16-port switch. Regardless of the type of QoS chosen, each port (Disabled by default)

must be individually Enabled to establish its QoS service.
If TOS priority is selected, one additional screen is used for mapping the priority details,

but two more screens are needed if the selected QoS Type is DiffServ. Access to these

screens is via the Map TOS(DSCP) Priority option in the lower right portion of the

screen. Each screen is discussed and illustrated below.
