700 Series Managed Switch User’s Guide for Software v2.1

There are two means to differentiate traffic with this switch- VLAN tags or Differentiated Service Code Points (DSCP) in the header of data packets. By using either the VLAN tags (port-based) or DSCP (DiffServ), you can configure the switch so that certain traffic will take priority over less critical traffic.

Differentiated Service (DiffServ) uses a priority tag in the packet, the Differentiated Service Code Point (DSCP), to determine the priority of the packet.
