Defining CoS Forwarding Classes (J-Web Procedure)

You can define CoS forwarding classes using the J-Web interface. Assigning a forwarding class to a queue number affects the scheduling and marking of a packet as it transits an EX Series switch.

To define forwarding classes:

  1. Select Configure > Class of Service> Forwarding Classes.
  2. Click one:
    • Add—Adds a forwarding class. Enter information into the forwarding class page as described in Table 1.
    • Edit—Modifies an existing forwarding class. Enter information into the forwarding class page as described in Table 1.
    • Delete—Deletes an existing forwarding class.

Forwarding Class Summary

Queue #

Specifies the internal queue numbers to which forwarding classes are assigned.

By default, if a packet is not classified, it is assigned to the class associated with queue 0. You can have more than one forwarding class to a queue number.

To specify an internal queue number, select an integer from 0 through 7, appropriate for your platform.

Forwarding Class Name

Specifies the forwarding class names assigned to specific internal queue numbers.

By default, four forwarding classes are assigned to queue numbers 0 (best-effort), 1 (assured-forwarding), 5 (expedited-forwarding), and 7 (network-connect).

Type the name—for example, be-class.
