Differentiated Services Configuration

This chapter describes the Differentiated Services (Diffserv) set of commands and how to use 
them. 

D‐Series devices support Diffserv policy‐based provisioning of network resources by allowing IT 
administrators to:

Create, change or remove Diffserv policies based on business‐specific use of network services.

Prioritize and police traffic according to assigned policies and conditions.

Assign or unassign ports to Diffserv policies so that only ports activated for a policy will be 
allowed to transmit frames accordingly.

Note: Diffserv will not be available if a Policy License is activated on the D-Series. When a Policy
License is activated, it enables Policy that takes the place of Diffserv. Refer to

Chapter 3
