The MultiSwitch 700 Device View

2.Click on the Transmit Priority drop-down list box, and scroll to select the desired priority level (Normal–7) for forwarding packets received on the selected port.

NOTE

Remember, since the MultiSwitch 700 module has two transmit queues, a priority of Normal will cause packets received on that port to be forwarded through the lower priority queue, and any priority of 1 through 7 will cause the packets to be forwarded through the higher priority queue. However, other tag-aware switches may use the full range of eight priority queues — so the priority that you assign may have bearing on how the frame is forwarded when it is received by another device.

3.Click the Apply button. The defined priority displays next to the port in the Transmit Priority column.

Configuring Priority Queuing Based on MAC-layer Information

You can use the MAC Based Priority Configuration window, Figure 2-22, to determine packet queuing based upon the packet’s Source and/or Destination MAC address, as well as the packet’s frame Type. These priority entries, based on the frame’s MAC-layer information, are maintained in the ctPriorityExtMACTable. You can create up to 1024 priority entries for queuing frames based upon on MAC-layer information.

Click Add to enter a MAC Address to which you want to assign a higher priority transmission queue.

Select whether you want the address type to be destination, source, or either type.

Determine whether to apply the priority to all frames with the given address and SA/DA type, or only to frames of a specific type.

Finally, select a priority level, and click Apply.
