Advanced > Traffic Prioritization

Port Priority allows the user to specify which ports have greater precedence in situations where traffic may be buffered in the switch due to

congestion. The ports with a setting of 'high' will transmit their packets before those with a 'normal' setting. The settings on this page only affect

ingress packets that are not already tagged for priority. To raise the priority of a given port, switch the port's setting from 'Normal' to 'High'. The

default and normal setting for a port is 'normal'.

Selecting a port for high priority can create an ambiguous situation when the switch enters a flow control situation. To clarify how the switch should

behave, select "Priority Optimized" or "Flow Control Optimized" option. Then click "Apply".
