Priority; Port Priority Configuration - Enterasys Vertical Horizon VH-2402S Web Management Manual

Priority

IEEE 802.1p defines up to 8 separate traffic classes. This switch supports
Quality of Service (QoS) by using two priority queues, with strict priority
queuing for each port. You can use the Priority menu to configure the
default priority for each port, or to display the mapping for the traffic
classes as described in the following sections.

Port Priority Configuration

The default priority for all ingress ports is zero. Therefore, any inbound
frames that do not have priority tags will be placed in the low priority
output queue. Default priority is only used to determine the output queue
for the current port; no priority tag is actually added to the frame. You can
use the Port Priority Configuration screen to adjust default priority for any
port as shown below:
