Workflow
In order to use Quality of Service on the traffic for your device, you need to perform a number of configurations.
Process
Configuration steps
The order of operations involved in configuring QoS is different from the order in which the interface displays the setting tabs. Not all settings are needed in all cases.
1: Class
The classes define how network traffic is to be prioritized and allocated.
There are a number of predefined classes, but you can add your own.
2: Classify/Reclassify
In order to direct traffic to the correct classes, you need to define classificaton rules in the Classify tab.
Since the classification only affects connections that haven't already been classified you may also need to apply filters in the Reclassify tab.
3: Class Group
With the classes defined, you can add and order them in a class group in the Class Group tab.
If you have multiple interfaces, and want different QoS settings for them, you can create multiple class groups.
