switchport priority default

This command sets a priority for incoming untagged frames. Use the no form to restore the default
value.

Syntax

switchport priority default default-priority-id

no switchport priority default

default-priority-id - The priority number for untagged ingress traffic. The priority is a
number from 0 to 7. Seven is the highest priority.

Default Setting

The priority is not set, and the default value for untagged frames received on the interface is zero.

Command Mode

Interface Configuration (Ethernet, Port Channel)

Command Usage

The precedence for priority mapping is IP DSCP, and then default switchport priority.

The default priority applies for an untagged frame received on a port set to accept all frame
types (i.e, receives both untagged and tagged frames). This priority does not apply to IEEE
802.1Q VLAN tagged frames. If the incoming frame is an IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagged frame, the
IEEE 802.1p User Priority bits will be used.

The switch provides eight priority queues for each port. It can be configured to use strict priority
queuing, Weighted Round Robin (WRR), or a combination of strict and weighted queuing using
the

queue mode

command. Inbound frames that do not have VLAN tags are tagged with the

input port's default ingress user priority, and then placed in the appropriate priority queue at
the output port. The default priority for all ingress ports is zero. Therefore, any inbound frames
that do not have priority tags will be placed in queue 2 of the output port. (Note that if the
output port is an untagged member of the associated VLAN, these frames are stripped of all
VLAN tags prior to transmission.)

Example

The following example shows how to set a default priority on port 3 to 5:

Console(config)#interface ethernet 1/3

Console(config-if)#switchport priority default 5

Console(config-if)#
