Configuring QOS on the GigE switch
Use this procedure to make the Quality of Service (QOS) setting on the HP ProCurve switch 29xx series or Dell Networking N1500 series.
-
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:
- 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
- Press Enter one or more times until the switch’s username prompt appears.
- 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.
- Type config then press Enter. You are now in configuration mode.
- 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.
-
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
-
- 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
- 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.
