Configuration Guide Vol. 2


3.1.2 Flow detection conditions

To perform flow detection, specify the conditions for identifying the flow in the configuration. The following describes the flow detection conditions for the receiving-side interface.

(1) Flow detection condition of the receiving interface

The following table describes the flow detection conditions that can be specified for a receiving interface.

VLAN IDs that can be detected by flow detection on the Switch are the values assigned to the VLANs entered in the VLAN configuration. The ID of the VLAN to which received frames belong will be detected.

#2

The user priority cannot be detected for the following frames,

- Frames that do not have a VLAN tag

The user priority for a frame that has multiple VLAN tags is detected by counting from the MAC address side.The first VLAN tag encountered will be detected. The following figure shows an example of a frame that has multiple VLAN tags.

Supplementary note for the ToS field specification

These are 3-bit to 6-bit numbers in ToS :ToS field.

Priority: Value of the three highest-order bits in the ToS field.

[Figure Data]

DSCP: Value of the six highest-order bits in the ToS field.

Packets whose ack, fin, psh, rst, syn, or urg flag is set to 1 are detected.

#5

Supplementary note for the traffic class field specification

Traffic class: The value of the traffic class field.

DSCP: Value of the six highest-order bits in the traffic class field.
