# Configuring QoS

QoS, or quality of service, refers to any technology that is capable of managing data transmission while reducing packet loss, latency and jitter on high-priority network traffic. The aim of this concept is to monitor and manage network resources by prioritizing certain types of data and network traffic.

In SMC, you can configure QoS on SNS firewalls as of version 4.3.15 LTSB and 4.5.3.

To configure QoS in SMC:

1. Add queues and traffic shapers in the Configuration menu.

2. Associate these queues and traffic shapers with interfaces in the firewall settings. These queues will be the default queues.

3. Configure QoS in filter rules in the firewall settings, to assign specific queues to different sets of network traffic.

NOTE
QoS cannot be monitored from SMC. To monitor QoS on a firewall, log in directly to the firewall's web administration interface.

For more information on QoS and details on how to configure it on firewalls, refer to the technical note Configuring QoS on SNS firewalls.
