Classification Precedence Rules

When there are multiple classifications assigned to a Matrix E1 device, the device must determine
which classification takes precedence according to classification precedence rules. By default, the
order of precedence is predefined in the Matrix E1 device. When the priority tag override feature is
enabled on a port as described in

Section 9.3.4.8

, 802.1Q frame tags received on that port are

assigned a lower precedence. This allows MAC address matching and other types of priority
classifications to receive higher precedence.

Table 9-2

lists the ISO layer, associated classification, default precedence levels, and precedence

levels with priority tag override enabled.

port-string

Specifies the port(s) for which to enable or disable
priority tag override. For a detailed description of
possible port-string values, refer to

Section 4.1.2

.

enable | disable

Enables or disables priority tag override.

NOTE: It is important that you have a comprehensive understanding of the precedence
concept before configuring the Matrix E1 device, as these rules can have a significant
impact on the network operation.
