mark

Enables the marking of the DSCP field in the IP header. Use this command to set the IP DSCP bits for QoS using an ACL. The mark action of the route maps takes precedence over the mark action of an ACL.

The DSCP field in an IP header enables packet classification. Packet filtering can be done based on traffic class, determined from the IP DSCP field. One DSCP value can be configured per route map entry.

Supported in the following platforms:

  • Access Points — AP505i, AP510i/e, AP560i/h
  • Service Platforms — NX5500, NX7500, NX9500, NX9600, VX9000

Syntax

Parameters

mark ip dscp <0-63>
ip dscp <0-63> Marks the DSCP field in the IP header
  • <0-63> – Specify a DSCP value from 0 - 63.
