5.2 Configure DSCP Values for Outgoing Traffic

This procedure configures the DSCP values for outgoing packets on servers. DSCP values can be applied to an outbound interface as a whole, or to all outbound traffic using a specific TCP or SCTP source port. This step is optional and should only be executed if has been decided that your network uses packet DSCP markings for Quality-of-Service purposes.
  1. Establish a GUI session on the NOAM by using the NOAM VIP address. Login as the guiadmin user.
  2. In primary NOAM VIP GUI, option 1 is to configure interface DSCP.
