NOTE
The Priority Configuration menu option will only appear in the Device menu for modules
that respond to any of NetSight Element Manager’s queries to the following OIDs:
ctPriorityExtPortStatus, ctPriorityExtMaxNumMACEntries, or
ctPriorityExtNumPktTypeEntries. If your module’s firmware does not respond to these
queries, contact the Enterasys Global Call Center for firmware upgrade information.
