Enable 802.1p/DSCP-based quality of service

802.1p/DSCP-based priority uses a field in the data packet header that identifies the
class of data in the packet (for example, voice or video). When 802.1p/DSCP-based
priority is used, the switch reads information in the packet header to determine the
priority to assign to the packet. The switch reads both 802.1p tag information and
DSCP/ToS tag information. If an ingress packet contains both an 802.1p tag and a
DSCP/ToS tag, the switch gives precedence to the 802.1p tag.
All ports on the switch check the packet header and transmit the packet with a priority
determined by the packet content.
To enable 802.1p/DSCP-based QoS:
1. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired network connection, or connect directly to a switch that
is off-network using an Ethernet cable.
2. Launch a web browser.
3. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
The login page displays.

5. Select QoS.
The Quality of Service page displays.
6. Select the 802.1p/DSCP-based radio button.

7. Click the OK button.
The pop-up window closes.
8. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.

Configure port-based quality of service

You can assign a priority to all data passing through a particular port. Data with a higher
priority is transmitted faster. If packets arrive at several ports at the same time, the ports
