Setting Up Priority Tagging
With priority tagging, you can specify a priority value for traffic based on
MAC source or destination addresses. For example, you could tag all
packets from computer A with a priority of 7 (high).
When you define priority tagging, you can specify a priority value from 0
(low) to 7 (high). Traffic with a priority value of 0–3 is routed through the
switch’s low priority queue. Traffic with a priority value of 4–7 is routed
through the switch’s high priority queue.
You can define up to 12 MAC addresses for priority tagging.
