CheetahSwitch Workgroup-4508
Bridge Settings
Parameter | Description |
Traffic Class | Multiple traffic classes are supported by this switch as indicated under |
| Bridge Capabilities. However, the switch supports just two priority |
| queues and only the default port priority can be configured. The switch |
| does not support the configuration of traffic class mapping. Therefore, |
| this parameter under Bridge Settings is set to disabled and cannot be |
| enabled. |
Note: This switch does not support GMRP or GVRP. Therefore, the GMRP and GVRP functions cannot be enabled from this screen.
Priority
IEEE 802.1p defines up to 8 separate traffic classes. This switch supports Quality of Service (QoS) by using two priority queues, with weighted fair queuing for each port. You can use the Priority menu to configure the default priority for each port, or to display the mapping for the traffic classes as described in the following sections.
Port Priority Configuration
The default priority for all ingress ports is zero. Therefore, any inbound frames that do not have priority tags will be placed in the low priority output queue. Default priority is only used to determine the output queue for the current port; no priority tag is actually added to the frame. You can use the Port Priority Configuration screen to adjust default priority for any port as shown below:
