7.4 Associating network traffic and QOS mapid

This operation is usually done manually by setting OpenFlow rules. Here the flow button will generate a simple openFlow rule for you. If you want something more complex, edit this rule in OpenFlow Editor.

7.4.1 Mapping traffic ingressing port PA with first queue

qos

  • a Press this button to undock the Port widget. ( It will be more comfortable to have it in a popup. )
  • b Select port PA
  • Under QOS c Select mapid 123 ( d)
  • e Press flow button to generate an openFlow rule.

7.4.2 Mapping traffic ingressing port PB with second queue

  • f Select port PB
  • Select mapid 234 ( d)
  • h Press flow button to generate an openFlow rule.

7.4.3 Display Openflow newly created rules

Let's have a look at OpenFlow rules that were just created.

qos

  • m Select Openflow tab
  • n Hit refresh
  • o This rule tells that traffic that enters OpenFlow port 5 ( aka PA port ) will be sent to queue mapid 123
  • p This rule tells that traffic that enters OpenFlow port 6 ( aka PB port) will be sent to queue mapid 234

If you want to do something more complex, feel free to edit these rules via this OpenFlow editor !

Finally read next chapter to see how to apply this QOS to an egress port "Applying-QOS-to-egress-port"
