your network.

Important Considerations
The opportunity to be processed in the high priority queue exists only
for IEEE 802.1Q tagged packets (provided that CoS is enabled) with
priority values that match the high priority queue configuration.
Non-tagged packets are always processed in the low priority queue,
along with tagged packets with priority values that match the low
priority queue configuration.
CoS is enabled by default and initial queue assignments conform with
IEEE 802.1p recommendations — that is, priorities 0 – 3 are assigned
to the low priority queue and priorities 4 – 7 are assigned to the high
priority queue. To modify queue assignments, see "bridge cos modify"
later in this chapter.
If you disable CoS, all tagged and non-tagged traffic is processed
through the low priority queue and its buffers. (The high priority
queue and buffers are shut off.)
