Configuring Outer VLAN Tag Priority

By default, when tagging a tagged frame, the H3C S7500E series Ethernet switches copy the priority
carried in the inner VLAN tag to the outer VLAN tag of the frame and uses the priority as the
transmission priority of the frame in the service provider network. When there are a large number of
users connected to the switch and many types of packets, the packet priority you configured may
conflict with the data transmission policy in the service provider network. In this case, you can use the
QoS policy function provided by the S7500E series switch to configure the priority in the outer VLAN
tag for frames in the following two ways:

Inner VLAN-to-outer VLAN tag priority mapping: classify traffic based on inner VLAN; configure an
action of marking traffic with outer VLAN tag priority in the traffic behavior.

Inner-to-outer VLAN tag priority mapping: classify traffic based on inner VLAN tag priority;
configure an action of marking traffic with outer VLAN tag priority in the traffic behavior.
