3.9.4 802.1p priority class

In IEEE 802.1p priority mode, all packets are classified into four priority classes (lowest, lower, higher and highest)
according to the embedded priority tag. If an untagged frame is received, the default priority tag of the port will be attached.
The screen in Figure 3-32 appears.

3.10 Port Mirroring

The System setting menus include the tree sub-menus:

„ Port Mirroring

Port mirroring monitors and mirrors network traffic by forwarding copies of incoming and outgoing packets from one port to
a monitoring port. Port mirroring can be used as diagnostic tool and/or a debugging feature. Port mirroring also enables
switch performance monitoring (refer to figure 3-33).
Network administrators configure port mirroring by selecting a specific port to copy all packets, and different ports from
which the packets are copied.
