Configuring Priority Queuing Based on Packet Type

You can use the Frame Priority Configuration window, Figure 2-23, to determine packet queuing based solely upon its Type field data. Frame type entries are maintained in the ctPriorityExtPktTypeTable. You can configure up to 15 frame Type priority entries for the device.

Click Add to activate the Frame Type field, then type in the 2 byte hexadecimal frame Type.

Use the drop-down list box to select a priority (Normal–7) associated with that frame Type

Click Apply to set the priority at the device. Any priority of 1 or higher will allow packets received at the chosen port to be forwarded from the higher priority transmission queue.
