Managing IP Quality of Service in Oracle^® Solaris 11.3

How to Start the ipqos Service

Once you have made changes to the IPQoS configuration file, you will need to start or restart the ipqos SMF service.

1. Become an administrator.

   For more information, see Using Your Assigned Administrative Rights in Securing Users and Processes in Oracle Solaris 11.3.

2. Make sure that the appropriate changes are in the /etc/inet/ipqosinit.conf file.
3. Determine if the ipqos service is running.

   # svcs svc:/network/ipqos
   STATE          STIME    FMRI
   disabled       Mar_11   svc:/network/ipqos:default

4. Enable or restart the ipqos service.
   • If the ipqos service is disabled, start it.

     # svcadm enable svc:/network/ipqos

   • If the ipqos service is enabled, disable and re-enable it.

     These steps will use the new configuration file when the service is started.

     # svcadm disable svc:/network/ipqos
     # svcadm enable svc:/network/ipqos

5. Test and debug the new IPQoS configuration.

   Use UNIX utilities to track IPQoS behavior and to gather statistics on your IPQoS implementation. This information can help you determine whether the configuration operates as expected.
