Dear All,

I am confused about some quality of service principles.

1st If I want to give ICMP traffic the higher priority ( for example), I
have 3550 switch, the ingress port is fast 0/2 and the egress port fast
0/1.

Shall I match the input packets with policy map then set the cos to 5
then using wrr-queue bandwidth 1 30 30 30, wrr-queue cos-map 1 5

Configuration will be as follow:

interface FastEthernet0/1

 switchport access vlan 3

 switchport mode access

 no ip address

 wrr-queue bandwidth 1 30 30 30

 wrr-queue cos-map 1 5

 wrr-queue cos-map 2 1 2

 wrr-queue cos-map 3 0 3 4 6

 wrr-queue cos-map 4 7

 spanning-tree portfast

!

interface FastEthernet0/2

 switchport access vlan 3

 switchport mode access

 no ip address

 service-policy input cos

end

!

Switch#sh policy-map cos

 Policy Map cos

  class cos

   set cos 5

Or I must use a dscp -to-cos map and at the ingress set a dscp values as
shown:

interface FastEthernet0/2

 switchport access vlan 3

 switchport mode access

 no ip address

 service-policy input cos

!

Switch#show policy-map cos

 Policy Map cos

  class cos

   set ip dscp 5

!

mls qos map dscp-cos 45 to 5

Or the two solutions are valid.

Thanks ,
