qos Pr Admin Policy Source

1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.159.1.1.2

Indicates the desired source of a device's provisioning of QoS policy for the whole device. Actually, the source of an interface's provisioning of QoS policy is controlled by two level configurations. The first level is the system level to be the global control for the whole device. This object is for the system level. The second level is for each individual interface. The qosPrIfAdminPolicySource is for the interface level. So, the value of this object will decide that the value of qosPrIfAdminPolicySource can take precedence or not. If this object is configured to cops(3), the value of qosPrIfAdminPolicySource has the precedence configuration of the interface's provisioning of QoS policy source. That is to say if this object is configured to local(2), then the value of qosPrIfAdminPolicySource will be ignored. It means the provisioning of QoS policy source of all the interfaces in this device will be from local information if this MIB is configured to local(2). If this object is configured to cops(3), then the final provisioning of QoS policy of an interface is determined by the configuration of the qosPrIfAdminPolicySource object of that interface. Changing qosPrIfAdminPolicySource of an interface from cops(3) to local(2) while the value of this object is cops(3) makes the interface discard the QoS provisioning policy from the COPS server and uses the local QoS provisioning policy configuration instead.
