What do you want to happen to the packets? Cisco supports so many Quality of Service (QoS) features, it's hard to answer your question! For example, although IP Precedence is not a queuing method, queuing methods such as weighted fair queuing (WFQ) and Weighted Random Early Detection (WRED) can use the IP Precedence setting of the packet in the TOS field to prioritize traffic. Committed Access Rate (CAR) can also use the IP Precedence. Cisco also supports the newer meanings for TOS (that is the Differentiated Services bits). Anyway, you probably haven't gotten a good answer from us because Cisco makes all of this so complicated, it's hard to give a simple answer. ;-) You should start by skimming the Cisco IOS Quality of Service Solutions Configuration Guide here: http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios122/122cgcr/fqos_c/index.htm I don't know much about the 827 router. Hopefully it can do everything a bigger router could do. If not, check its specific documentation for QoS configuration information. Good luck. Let us know how it goes. Thanks.

Re: read and not write TOS [7:36946]
I said "special switch": it is a switch with ethernet ports and voice ports, with the voice processor and its stack. So, I can program the "special switch" in order to set the TOS (layer 3) per port basis and the COS (layer 2) per port basis. What happens to my packet (or frames) when I connect this switch to a router (827 per adsl) or to a layer 3 catalyst for different design? - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, March 01, 2002 6:05 PM Subject: Re: read and not write TOS [7:36946] I don't think you can set the ToS bits on a switch.

Re: read and not write TOS [7:36946]
On the Cat 6k you can do IP Prec or DiffServ. Otherwise you have to map 802.1p to Prec or DiffServ. By summer a lot more models will be able to do this such as the 2900 and 4900, 4000, etc. Nortel already does this on their Business Policy Manager switch and it's pretty reasonably priced at $3000. FYI, IP TOS is the entire 1 byte field within an IP packet and contains the IP Prec Bits (3 most significant bits in that field) or DiffServ Bits (6 most significant bits). You set those, not ToS. I'm just nitpicking, but Pricilla would be proud. :) -- RFC 1149 Compliant "" wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED].; > I don't think you can set the ToS bits on a switch.

I don't think you can set the ToS bits on a switch. You can only set the CoS bit and the CoS will not be translated to a ToS on router unless you force it to in the configuration.
