Configuring QOS on the GigE switch

  • The switch must be either a HP ProCurve switch 29xx series or Dell Networking N1500 series.
  • Trunks, VLANs and all other configuration must be complete.
  • The switch must have an IP address.
  • You must have network access to the switch.

Use this procedure to make the Quality of Service (QOS) setting on the HP ProCurve switch 29xx series or Dell Networking N1500 series.

  1. If you have not already done so, from a network connected PC open the MS-DOS command prompt and login to the switch as administrator, as follows:
    1. Telnet to the switch. For example, if the switch’s IP address is 192.168.40.12, you type the following, then press Enter. telnet 192.168.40.12
    2. Press Enter one or more times until the switch’s username prompt appears.
    3. Type the switch’s administrator username and press Enter, then type the switch’s administrator password and press Enter. The switch console command (CLI) prompt appears.
  2. Type config then press Enter. You are now in configuration mode.
  3. Type qos queue-config 2-queues then press Enter. This limits the number of active queues within the switch giving the most buffering to VLANs 10 and 60.
  4. Type show qos vlan then press Enter. The screen displays VLAN information. Note the ID number of the Media (iSCSI) VLAN. It should be 60, as follows:
    VLAN priorities
    
      VLAN ID Apply rule  | DSCP   Priority
      ------- ----------- + ------ -----------
      10      No-override |        No-override
      60      No-override |        No-override
    

    1. Assign the Media VLAN the QOS priority of 3. For example, if the VLAN ID is 60, you type the following, then press Enter. vlan 60 qos priority 3
    2. Type show qos vlan then press Enter. The screen displays VLAN information. Make sure that the Priority column reports that the Media VLAN has a value of 3.

Next, verify flow control settings.
