Prioritization is applied by policy and is equivalent to CoS (class of service) levels 0–7, where 0 is normal priority (default) and 7 is the highest priority. Fireware OS uses the strict priority queuing method to prioritize traffic through your Firebox. Many different algorithms can be used to prioritize network traffic. If you selected the IP Precedence marking type, select a values from 0 (normal priority) through 7 (highest priority).

If you selected the DSCP marking type, the values are 0–56. If you selected the IP Precedence marking type, select a value from 0 (normal priority) through 7 (highest priority). If you selected Assign, from the Value drop-down list, select a marking value.From the Marking Method drop-down list, select the marking method.From the Marking Type drop-down list, select DSCP or IP Precedence.To configure QoS marking, from Fireware Web UI or Policy Manager: Clear - Clear the bit value (set it to zero).Ĭonfigure QoS Marking for a Packet Filter or Proxy Policy.The device prioritizes the traffic based on this value. Preserve - Do not change the current value of the bit.All policies support DSCP and IP Precedence marking types and these marking methods. The H.323 and SIP ALGs have different QoS marking settings than other policies. The available QoS marking settings depend on the policy type. The Edit Policy Properties dialog box appears. Double-click the icon for the policy that manages the traffic to mark.

To enable QoS marking and prioritization options, from Policy Manager: The available settings depend on the policy type.

The marking action you select is applied to all traffic that uses the policy. In addition to marking the traffic that leaves a Firebox interface, you can also mark traffic for a policy. Enable QoS Marking and Prioritization in a Policy
