IEEE 802.1p Prioritizing

You can use the VLAN Configuration screens to prioritize the order in which the
switch forwards packets, on a per-port basis. For example, if messages from a
specific segment are crucial to your operation, you can set the switch port
connected to that segment to a higher priority level (by default, all switch ports are
set to Low priority). Untagged packets received by the switch on that port are
tagged according to the priority level you assign to the port (see
