Default QoS DSCP policy table

Hi folks,

when you enable QoS on a switch, the switch applies a default DSCP policy table, which can be edited to special needs if necessary, but overall it should be fine.

Now, does the Sophos UTM also work that way?

Is it sufficient to just enable QoS status on the interface and the UTM would prioritize traffic according a default DSCP table,
or do I really need to specify my traffic selectors (based on DSCP values) in order to "make QoS work"

  • don't know if UTM uses "QOS-Tables"...
    But after enabling QOS at the interface, the traffic works more "fair". Fewer dropouts and delays.
    ... and telephony thought S2S VPN works afterwards ... also while big downloads running.

  • I believe in QoS you can make something like a table, but it seems more of a priority setting for all QoS enabled items in UTM, such as what's in the screenshot.  Something you'd have to manage basically.

  • Here you can create a "traffic selector" that detects traffic depending on TOS/DSCP values.

    This traffic selection can be used within bandwidth pools or download throttling to prioritize traffic, as explained by Amodin.
