11.12 CONFIGURING CLASS OF SERVICE
You can configure Class of Service parameters using the 802.1P Port Priority Configuration
screen. This screen permits you to configure two priority levels for traffic being forwarded through
the switch. During periods of congestion, Class of Service settings ensure that traffic which has
been assigned high priority is forwarded through the switch ahead of normal priority traffic. For
further information, refer to
To configure Class of Service, proceed as follows:
1. Select Device Control Menu from the Main Menu.
2. Select 802.1P Configuration, then 802.1P Port Priority Configuration.
3. Set the individual port priorities by entering 0-3 for the low priority queue or 4-7 for the high
priority queue.
NOTE: Note that the default for all ingress ports is zero.
11.13 CONFIGURING IGMP
This switch uses IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) to query for any attached hosts
who want to receive a specific multicast service. The switch looks up the IP Multicast Group used
for this service and adds any port which received a similar request to that group. It then propagates
the service request on to any neighboring multicast switch/router to ensure that it will continue to
receive the multicast service. (For information about the use of IGMP snooping and multicast
filtering, refer to
Appendix
To configure IGMP operation, proceed as follows:
1. Select Device Control Menu from the Main Menu.
2. Select IGMP Configuration and press ENTER.
3. Set the IGMP Status to ENABLED. This enables the switch to monitor network traffic to
determine which hosts want to receive multicast traffic. Default is DISABLED.
