Enhancements in Release F.04.08

Configuring Port-Based Priority for Incoming Packets

For example, suppose you wanted to configure ports 10 -12 on the switch to prioritize all untagged, inbound VLAN traffic as "Low" (priority level = 1; refer to table 8 on page 133).

Configures port-based priority on ports 9 -12 to "1" (Low) and saves the configuration changes to the startup-config file.

Ports 9 - 12 are now configured to assign a priority level of "1" (Low) to untagged, incoming traffic. (Any inbound, tagged traffic retains its priority level while transiting the switch.)

Troubleshooting Prioritization

Symptom

Possible Cause

 

 

Ports configured for non-default prioritization (level 1 - 7) are not performing the specified action.

If the ports were placed in a trunk group after being configured for non-default prioritization, the priority setting was automatically reset to zero (the default). Ports in a trunk group operate only at the default priority setting.
