Priority Commands

The commands described in this section allow you to specify which data

packets have greater precedence when traffic is buffered in the switch due

to congestion. This switch supports CoS with four priority queues for each

port. Data packets in a port’s high-priority queue will be transmitted before

those in the lower-priority queues. You can set the default priority for each

interface, the relative weight of each queue, and the mapping of frame

priority tags to the switch’s priority queues.
