Setting Up Priority Tagging

With priority tagging, you can specify a priority value for traffic based on MAC source or destination addresses. For example, you could tag all packets from computer A with a priority of 7 (high).

When you define priority tagging, you can specify a priority value from 0 (low) to 7 (high). Traffic with a priority value of 0–3 is routed through the switch’s low priority queue. Traffic with a priority value of 4–7 is routed through the switch’s high priority queue.

You can define up to 12 MAC addresses for priority tagging.
