Setting Port Priority
You can set the default Ingress User Priority for each port using the Bridge Extension Port
Priority window. Priority is a value between 0 and 7 assigned to each frame, with 7 being
the highest priority. Priority is used to assign frames transmission priority over other
frames. Frames assigned higher priority are transmitted before frames with a lower
priority. If a frame received on a port does not have a priority assigned to it (and no
priority classification rule exists), it is assigned the default Ingress User Priority. The Port
Priority window also displays the number of traffic classes (queues) supported for each
port.
To launch the window:
1. In the Device View, select Bridge Extension Configuration... from the Device
menu.
2. In the Bridge Extension Configuration window, click on the Priority button and
select Priority... from the menu. The Bridge Extension Port Priority window,
