Configuring high-priority control MAC addresses for the 8648GTR
module
Use the high-priority control MAC address feature to treat selected control
MAC addresses as high priority. Packets with these MAC addresses are
processed by the SF/CPU at a higher priority than other packets. Choose
the control MAC addresses that correspond to the most critical protocols
running on the switch.
The high-priority control MAC address feature operates only under
congestion. If there is no congestion, all MAC addresses are treated
equally.
You can configure up to six 8648GTR control MAC addresses with high
priority.
