Figure 89 shows the initial Quick Configuration page for defining rewrite rules, and Table 187 describes the related fields. Use the rewrite rules to alter the CoS values in outgoing packets to meet the requirements of the targeted peer. A rewrite rule examines the forwarding class and loss priority of a packet and sets its bits to a corresponding value specified in the rule.

Rewrite Rule Name |
Specifies a rewrite rule name. |
To name a rule, type the name—for example, rewrite-dscps. |
