Avaya P550R, P580, P880, and P882 Multiservice Switch User Guide, v5.3.1

The switch assigns traffic to one of eight queues according to the

priority, or "class," of the traffic. Priorities range 0 to 7, 7 being the

highest priority. You can set the switch to classify traffic by the

priority assigned to the following characteristics:

Layer 2 characteristics:

Physical port that the frame or packet is received on

Cisco ISL tag or 802.1p tag

Source MAC address

Destination MAC address

Layer 3 characteristics:

DSCP in the packet

this new DSCP.

Destination IP address (assigned by means of an ACL

Source IP address (assigned by means of an ACL rule)

Source TCP or UDP port (assigned by means of an ACL

By default, the switch uses the priority from the 802.1p tag field, if

present, to classify a frame.

If you do not change any of the QoS default settings and the frame

does not have an 802.1 tag or Cisco ISL tag, the switch assigns the

priority of the physical port to the packet. Each physical port has a

default priority of 3. For information on how to change the priority

for a physical port, see
