NETGEAR 24-Port Gigabit Smart Managed Pro Switch with PoE+ and 2 SFP Ports Model GS724TPv2 DiffServ Configuration Overview To use DiffServ for QoS, you must enable DiffServ (see Enable the DiffServ Mode and View the DiffServ Status on page 161) and define the following categories and their criteria: 1. Class. Create classes and define class criteria (see Configure a DiffServ Class on page 163). 2. Policy. Create policies, associate classes with policies, and define policy statements (see Configure a DiffServ Policy on page 168). 3. Service. Add a policy to an inbound interface (see Configure the DiffServ Service Interface on page 174). Packets are classified and processed based on defined criteria. The classification criteria are defined by a class. The processing is defined by a policy's attributes. Policy attributes can be defined on a per-class instance basis, and it is these attributes that are applied when a match occurs. A policy can contain multiples classes. When the policy is active, the actions taken depend on which class matches the packet. Packet processing begins by testing the class match criteria for a packet. A policy is applied to a packet when a class match within that policy is found. Configure DiffServ Settings Packets are filtered and processed based on defined criteria. The filtering criteria is defined by a class. The processing is defined by a policy's attributes. Policy attributes can be defined on a per-class instance basis, and it is these attributes that are applied when a match occurs. The configuration process begins with defining one or more match criteria for a class. Then one or more classes are added to a policy. Policies are then added to interfaces. Packet processing begins by testing the match criteria for a packet. The All class type option specifies that each match criteria within a class must evaluate to true for a packet to match that class. The Any class type option specifies that at least one match criteria must evaluate to true for a packet to match that class. Classes are tested in the order in which they were added to the policy. A policy is applied to a packet when a class match within that policy is found.
