Priority 2 is assigned to the Switch's Q1 queue.
•
Priority 3 is assigned to the Switch's Q3 queue.
•
Priority 4 is assigned to the Switch's Q4 queue.
•
Priority 5 is assigned to the Switch's Q5 queue.
•
Priority 6 is assigned to the Switch's Q6 queue.
•
Priority 7 is assigned to the Switch's Q7 queue.
For strict priority-based scheduling, any packets residing in the higher priority classes of service are transmitted first.
Multiple strict priority classes of service are emptied based on their priority tags. Only when these classes are empty,
are packets of lower priority transmitted.
For weighted round-robin queuing, the number of packets sent from each priority queue depends upon the assigned
weight. For a configuration of eight CoS queues, A~H with their respective weight value: 8~1, the packets are sent in
the following sequence: A1, B1, C1, D1, E1, F1, G1, H1, A2, B2, C2, D2, E2, F2, G2, A3, B3, C3, D3, E3, F3, A4, B4,
C4, D4, E4, A5, B5, C5, D5, A6, B6, C6, A7, B7, A8, A1, B1, C1, D1, E1, F1, G1, H1.
For weighted round-robin queuing, if each CoS queue has the same weight value, then each CoS queue has an equal
opportunity to send packets just like round-robin queuing.
For weighted round-robin queuing, if the weight for a CoS is set to 0, then it will continue processing the packets from
this CoS until there are no more packets for this CoS. The other CoS queues that have been given a nonzero value,
and depending upon the weight, will follow a common weighted round-robin scheme.
Remember that the Switch has eight configurable priority queues (and eight Classes of Service) for each port on the
Switch.
NOTICE: The Switch contains eight classes of service for each port on the Switch. One of these classes
is reserved for internal use on the Switch and is therefore not configurable. All references in the following
section regarding classes of service will refer to only the eight classes of service that may be used and
configured by the administrator.
802.1p Settings
802.1p Default Priority Settings
The Switch allows the assignment of a default 802.1p priority to each port on the Switch. This page allows the user to
assign a default 802.1p priority to any given port on the switch that will insert the 802.1p priority tag to untagged
packets received. The priority and effective priority tags are numbered from 0, the lowest priority, to 7, the highest
priority. The effective priority indicates the actual priority assigned by RADIUS. If the RADIUS assigned value exceeds
the specified limit, the value will be set at the default priority. For example, if the RADIUS assigns a limit of 8 and the
default priority is 0, the effective priority will be 0.
