Configuring PFC QoS
Port Trust
In PFC QoS, trust means to accept as valid and use as the basis of the initial
can configure ports as untrusted or you can configure them to trust these QoS values:
•
•
•
Traffic received through an untrusted port is called untrusted traffic.
Ingress Congestion Avoidance
PFC QoS implements congestion avoidance on
traffic on the basis of its Layer 2 CoS value and assigns it to an ingress queue to provide congestion
avoidance. In Release 12.2(18)SXF5 and later releases, you can configure WS-X6708-10GE

PFC and DFC QoS Features
These sections describe PFCs and DFCs as they relate to QoS:

Layer 2 CoS
A port configured to trust CoS is called a trust CoS port.
–
Traffic received through a trust CoS port or configured by a policy map to trust CoS is called
–
trust CoS traffic.
Not all traffic carries a CoS value. Only ISL, 802.1Q, and 802.1P traffic carries a CoS value.
Note
PFC QoS applies the
untrusted ports, PFC QoS applies the port CoS value to all traffic, overwriting any received
CoS value.
IP precedence
A port configured to trust IP precedence is called a trust IP precedence port.
–
Traffic received through a trust IP precedence port or configured by a policy map to trust
–
IP precedence is called trust IP precedence traffic.
DSCP
A port configured to trust DSCP is called a trust DSCP port.
–
Traffic received through a trust DSCP port or configured by a policy map to trust DSCP is called
–
trust DSCP traffic.
