MAC Priority Setting

When using the MAC Priority mechanism, the packet is classified based on the MAC address field priority in the MAC priority
table entries.
To configure a destination MAC address for a CoS queue, users must adhere to the following steps:
1. Users must first enter a static destination MAC address into the Forwarding Database (FDB) of the switch. To
accomplish this, go to the Unicast Forwarding table in the Forwarding Filtering folder under the Configuration menu
and click on the Unicast Forwarding link, which will display a window for users to enter this information.
2. Once a destination MAC has been added to the FDB, users must then configure the appropriate queue to be mapped to
this destination MAC address, using the following window.
3. Once the previous parameters are set, users should go to the Priority Settings window located in this folder and set the
egress ports on the switch to MAC Priority. These ports must only be set for MAC Priority and not for any other priority
choice. Please be advised that the default priority setting is for 802.1p and users must change the priority to MAC
Priority for this function to work properly. Be sure that the device with this destination MAC address is connected to the
port for which this priority is configured.
In the CoS folder, click MAC Priority, to view the window shown below:
Type in the MAC Address, select the Class ID priority level and click the Apply button.
