Associating network traffic and QOS mapid

7.4 Associating network traffic and QOS mapid

This operation is usually done manually by setting OpenFlow rules. Here the flow button will generate a simple openFlow rule for you. If you want something more complex, edit this rule in OpenFlow Editor.

7.4.1 Mapping traffic ingressing port PA with first queue

• a Press this button to undock the Port widget. ( It will be more comfortable to have it in a popup. )
• b Select port PA
• Under QOS c Select mapid 123 ( d)
• e Press flow button to generate an openFlow rule.

7.4.2 Mapping traffic ingressing port PB with second queue

• f Select port PB
• Select mapid 234 ( d)
• h Press flow button to generate an openFlow rule.

7.4.3 Display Openflow newly created rules

Let's have a look at OpenFlow rules that were just created.

• m Select Openflow tab
• n Hit refresh
• o This rule tells that traffic that enters OpenFlow port 5 ( aka PA port ) will be sent to queue mapid 123
• p This rule tells that traffic that enters OpenFlow port 6 ( aka PB port) will be sent to queue mapid 234

If you want to do something more complex, feel free to edit these rules via this OpenFlow editor !
