cos Commands

This section describes commands used to define and configure class of service (CoS) for the Wireless Appliance. These commands are located in the cos context of the CLI. Execute the cos command at the root level to enter cos context. Refer to “Configuring Classes of Service” in the Wireless User Guide for detailed information about class of service configuration.

A class of service is a collection of attributes and rules that determine how a frame is forwarded through the network relative to other packets. The CoS defines actions to be taken when rate limits are exceeded for a specific traffic type. Use CoS to apply priority marking, inbound and outbound rate control settings, and filter rules.

All CLI commands cache changes. For this reason, sometimes when you make a change in a particular context, the change may not be visible immediately. If this happens, you must exit and re-enter the context in order to ensure that the database is synchronized with the latest change.

The CoS context was introduced with V8.01.

The following commands are available in the cos context:

• create
• delete
• show
• <named-cos> — for commands in the cos:<named-cos> context.
