9.1.3 802.1P Priority

On this page you can configure 802.1P priority. 802.1P gives the Pri field in 802.1Q tag a recommended definition. This field is used to divide packets into 8 priorities. When 802.1P Priority is enabled, the packets with 802.1Q tag are mapped to different priority levels based on 802.1P priority mode. The untagged packets are mapped based on port priority mode.

Choose the menu QoS→DiffServ→802.1P Priority to load the following page.

Figure 9-8 802.1P Priority

The following entries are displayed on this screen:

¾Priority Level

Priority Tag:Indicates the precedence level defined by IEEE802.1P.

Priority Level: Indicates the priority level the packets with tag are mapped to. The priority levels are labeled as TC 0, TC1, TC2 and TC3.

9.1.4 DSCP Priority

On this page you can configure DSCP priority. DSCP (DiffServ Code Point) is a new definition to IP ToS field given by IEEE. This field is used to divide IP datagram into 64 priorities. When DSCP Priority is enabled, IP datagram are mapped to different priority levels based on DSCP priority mode; non-IP datagram with 802.1Q tag are mapped to different priority levels based on 802.1P priority mode if 8021.1P Priority mode is enabled; the untagged non-IP datagram are mapped based on port priority mode.
