Priority Tagging

Description

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.

Tag traffic: Select source or destination as the criteria for tagged traffic.

Enter MAC: Type the source or destination MAC address of traffic to tag with a priority value.

VLAN ID: If the device whose MAC address you are adding to the list is a member of a VLAN, type the VLAN ID here.

Priority level: Toggle to the desired priority level. Traffic with a priority of 0–3 is routed through the low priority queue; 4–7 is routed through the high priority queue.

ADD or DELETE: Adds or deletes the specified MAC address.
