The QoS General Screen
Use this screen to enable or disable QoS and have the ZyXEL Device automatically assign
priority to traffic according to the IEEE 802.1p priority level, IP precedence and/or packet
length.
Click
Advanced > QoS
to open the screen as shown next.

DESCRIPTION
Active QoS
Select the check box to turn on QoS to improve your network performance.
You can give priority to traffic that the ZyXEL Device forwards out through the WAN
interface. Give high priority to voice and video to make them run more smoothly.
Similarly, give low priority to many large file downloads so that they do not reduce the
quality of other applications.
WAN
Managed
Bandwidth
Enter the amount of bandwidth for the WAN interface that you want to allocate using
QoS.
The recommendation is to set this speed to match the interface’s actual transmission
speed. For example, set the WAN interface speed to 1000 kbps if your Internet
connection has an upstream transmission speed of 1 Mbps.
You can set this number higher than the interface’s actual transmission speed. This will
stop lower priority traffic from being sent if higher priority traffic uses all of the actual
bandwidth.
You can also set this number lower than the interface’s actual transmission speed. This
will cause the ZyXEL Device to not use some of the interface’s available bandwidth.

These fields are ignored if traffic matches a class you configured in the
Class Setup
screen.
If you select
ON
and traffic does not match a class configured in the
Class Setup
screen, the ZyXEL Device assigns priority to unmatched traffic based on the IEEE
802.1p priority level, IP precedence and/or packet length. See
Section 15.5.4 on page
236
for more information.
If you select
OFF
, traffic which does not match a class is mapped to queue two.

The Class Setup Screen
Use this screen to add, edit or delete classifiers. A classifier groups traffic into data flows
according to specific criteria such as the source address, destination address, source port
number, destination port number or incoming interface. For example, you can configure a
classifier to select traffic from the same protocol port (such as Telnet) to form a flow.

Advanced > QoS > Class Setup

Select the check box to enable this classifier.
Name
This is the name of the classifier.
Interface
This shows the interface from which traffic of this classifier should come.
Priority
This is the priority assigned to traffic of this classifier.
Filter Content
This shows criteria specified in this classifier.

LABEL
DESCRIPTION
Class Configuration
Active
Select the check box to enable this classifier.
Name
The text may consist of up to 20 letters, numerals and any printable character
found on a typical English language keyboard.
Interface
Select from which interface traffic of this class should come.
Priority
Select a priority level (between 0 and 7) or select
Auto
to have the ZyXEL
Device map the matched traffic to a queue according to the internal QoS
mapping table. See
Section 15.5.4 on page 236
for more information.
"0" is the lowest priority level and "7" is the highest.
Routing Policy
Select the next hop to which traffic of this class should be forwarded.
Select
By Routing Table
to have the ZyXEL Device use the routing table to find
a next hop and forward the matched packets automatically.
Select
To WAN Index
to route the matched packets through the specified PVC.
This option is available only when the WAN type is ADSL.
Select
To Gateway Address
to route the matched packets to the router or
switch you specified in the
Gateway Address
field.
WAN Index
Select a PVC index number.
Gateway
Address
Enter the IP address of the gateway, which should be a router or switch on the
same segment as the ZyXEL Device’s interface(s), that can forward the packet
to the destination.
Order
This shows the ordering number of this classifier. Select an existing number for
where you want to put this classifier and click
Apply
to move the classifier to the
number you selected. For example, if you select 2, the classifier you are moving
becomes number 2 and the previous classifier 2 gets pushed down one.
Tag Configuration
DSCP Value
Select
Same
to keep the DSCP fields in the packets.
Select
Auto
to map the DSCP value to 802.1 priority level automatically.
Select
Mark
to set the DSCP field with the value you configure in the field
provided.
802.1Q Tag
Select
Same
to keep the priority setting and VLAN ID of the frames.
Select
Auto
to map the 802.1 priority level to the DSCP value automatically.
Select
Remove
to delete the priority queue tag and VLAN ID of the frames.
Select
Mark
to replace the 802.1 priority field and VLAN ID with the value you
set in the fields below.
Select
Add
to treat all matched traffic untagged and add a second priority queue
tag and VLAN.
Ethernet Priority
Select a priority level (between 0 and 7) from the drop down list box.
VLAN ID
Specify a VLAN ID number between 2 and 4094.
Filter Configuration
Use the following fields to configure the criteria for traffic classification.
Source
Address
Select the check box and enter the source IP address in dotted decimal notation.
A blank source IP address means any source IP address.

Enter the source subnet mask. Refer to the appendix for more information on IP
subnetting.
