Class of Service Commands

The commands described in this section allow you to specify which data packets have greater
precedence when traffic is buffered in the switch due to congestion. This switch supports CoS with
eight priority queues for each port. Data packets in a port’s high-priority queue will be transmitted
before those in the lower-priority queues. The default priority can be set for each interface, also the
queue service mode and the mapping of frame priority tags to the switch's priority queues can be
configured.

Priority Commands (Layer 2)

This section describes commands used to configure Layer 2 traffic priority on the switch.

Priority Commands

Command Group

Function

Priority Commands (Layer 2)

Configures the queue mode, queue weights, and default priority for
untagged frames

Priority Commands (Layer 3 and 4)

Sets the default priority processing method (CoS or DSCP), maps priority
tags for internal processing, maps values from internal priority table to
CoS values used in tagged egress packets for Layer 2 interfaces, maps
internal per hop behavior to hardware queues
