QoS Profile Table

Based on bandwidth definition, profiles determine how packets are managed.

The QoS Profile Table displays the following fields:

• Description — The user-defined profile description.

• Profile Type — The type of forwarding service applied to packets. The possible values are:

• BandwidthGuarantee — Defines the bandwidth size for packets being forwarded. Packets must meet the bandwidth requirements to be forwarded. Packets exceeding the defined bandwidth size are dropped.

• minbandwidthGuarantee — Defines the minimum bandwidth size for packets being forwarded. Packets beyond the defined bandwidth size receive a best-effort forwarding priority.

• minDelay — Forwards packets with a priority of real time forwarding. Packets exceeding the assigned amount of bandwidth are dropped.

• minDelayPerSession — Defines the amount of bandwidth per session for a real time forwarding priority. Sessions exceeding the defined amount of sessions are dropped.

• Rate (kbps) — The rate in kilobits/seconds assigned to a profile for forwarding a packet. The values are 0-12 Gbps depending on the output port.

• Max Session — Max Session is only relevant to the minDelayPerSession profile type. Indicates the maximum number of sessions that can occur for a profile instance.

• New VPT — The VPT (VLAN Priority Tag). The possible values are 0-7. Zero is the default. The higher the VPT tag value the higher the forwarding priority.

To view the QoS Profile Table window:

1. On the Menu Bar, click QoS.

2. On the QoS menu, click Profile table. The QoS Profile Table window is displayed.

Add a New Profile

To add a new profile:

1. Click  . The Insert Profile window is displayed.

2. The Insert Profile window has two tabs:

• Main Tab — Displays the main options for assigning profiles including the profiles description, type, rate, maximum sessions, and new VPT. The default tab is the Main tab.

• Advanced Tab — Displays advanced options for assigning profiles including new ToS and burst size.

• New ToS — Type of Service. Enables the ToS value to be overridden. The possible values are 0-3.

• Burst Size (bytes) — The amount of bytes that can be forwarded back-to-back faster than normal speed. If the value is 0, the device uses a predefined value. The default size is 0. If the burst size value is 0, the value for minDelayPerSession and minDelay is 1,536 bytes. MinbandwidthGuarantee and BandwidthGuarantee are forwarded with a value of 3x 1,536 bytes.

3. Complete the fields in both tabs and click  . The QoS Profile Table window is displayed.

4. Click  . When the Status field displays “Finished!”, the entry is confirmed as created.

Edit a Profile
