Enable 802.1p-Based Quality of Service

802.1p-based priority uses a header in the data packet that identifies the class of data in the
packet (for example, voice or video). When 802.1p-based priority is used, the switch reads
information in the packet header to determine the priority to assign to the packet. All ports on
the switch check the packet header and transmit the packet with a priority determined by the
packet content.
