    Monitoring CoS Classifiers

    Purpose

    Display the mapping of incoming CoS values to forwarding class and loss priority for each classifier.

    Action

    To monitor CoS classifiers in the CLI, enter the CLI command:

    user@switch> show class-of-service classifier

    To monitor a particular classifier in the CLI, enter the CLI command:

    user@switch> show class-of-service classifier name classifier-name

    To monitor a particular type of classifier in the CLI, enter the CLI command:

    user@switch> show class-of-service classifier type classifier-type

    Meaning

    Table 1 summarizes key output fields for CoS classifiers.

    Field

    Values

    Classifier

    Name of a classifier.

    Code point type

    Type of classifier:

    • dscp—All classifiers of the DSCP type.
    • ieee-802.1—All classifiers of the IEEE 802.1 type.
    • ieee-mcast—All classifiers of the IEEE 802.1 multicast type.

    Index

    Internal index of the classifier.

    Code point

    DSCP or IEEE 802.1 code point value of the incoming packets, in bits. These values are used for classification.

    Forwarding Class

    Name of the forwarding class that the classifier assigns to an incoming packet. This class affects the forwarding and scheduling policies that are applied to the packet as it transits the switch.

    Loss Priority

    Loss priority value that the classifier assigns to the incoming packet based on its code point value.
