| fair scheme, an 8, 4, 2, 1 weighting is applied to the |

|
|

|

|
| Setting | Description |
|
| Factory Default |
|
|
|
| Low/Normal/ | Set the Port Default Priority of the ingress frames to |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| different priority queues. If the received packets are |
|
| Normal | |
|
|
|
| Medium/High | not equipped with any tag information (CoS, TOS) the |
| ||
|
|
|
|
| default port priority will take effect. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |||
| NOTE | The priority of an ingress frame is determined in order by: |
|
|
| |||
|
| 1. | Inspect TOS |
|
|
|
| |
|
| 2. | Inspect CoS |
|
|
|
| |
|
| 3. | Default Port Priority |
|
|
| ||
|
|
| ||||||
|
|
| ||||||
| NOTE | The designer can enable these classifications individually or in combination. For instance, if a | ||||||
|
| ‘hot’ higher priority port is required for a network design, Inspect TOS and Inspect CoS can be | ||||||
|
| disabled. This setting leaves only port default priority active, which results in all ingress frames | ||||||
|
| being assigned the same priority on that port. |
