4.Enter the following commands to exit the VLAN CONFIG mode and save the configuration to the system­ config file on flash memory:

HP6208-A(config-vlan-4)# HP6208-A(config-vlan-4)# end HP6208-A# write memory HP6208-A#

Assigning a Higher Priority to a VLAN

Suppose you wanted to give all traffic on Purple VLAN 2 in Figure 16.10 higher priority than all the other VLANs. Use the following procedure to do so.

USING THE CLI

1.Access the global CONFIG level of the CLI on 6208M-SX A by entering the following command:

HP6208-A> enable

No password has been assigned yet...

HP6208-A# configure terminal HP6208-A(config)#

2.Access the level of the CLI for configuring port-based VLAN 2 by entering the following command:

HP6208-A(config)# HP6208-A(config)# vlan 2 HP6208-A(config-vlan-2)#

3.Enable all packets exiting the switch on VLAN 2 to transmit from the high priority hardware queue of each transmit interface. Possible QoS priority levels are 0 (normal) – 7 (highest).

HP6208-A(config-vlan-2)# HP6208-A(config-vlan-2)# priority high HP6208-A(config-vlan-2)#

4.Enter the following commands to exit the VLAN CONFIG mode and save the configuration to the system­ config file on flash memory:

HP6208-A(config-vlan-2)# HP6208-A(config-vlan-2)# end HP6208-A# write memory HP6208-A#

5.Repeat steps 1 – 4 on 6208M-SX B.

Syntax: vlan <vlan-id> by port

Syntax: priority normal high
