Use 802.1P/DSCP Quality of Service

In the 802.1P/DSCP QoS mode, the switch uses the 802.1P or DSCP information in the header of an
incoming packet to prioritize the packet. With this type of QoS, you cannot control the port prioritization on
the switch because the device that sends the traffic (that is, the packets) to the switch prioritizes the traffic.
However, you can set the rate limits for individual ports on the switch.
The switch accepts traffic on a port at the rate (the speed of the data transfer) that you set for incoming
traffic on that port. The switch transmits traffic from a port at the rate that you set for outgoing traffic on that
port. You can select each rate limit as a predefined data transfer threshold from 1 Mbit/s to 500 Mbit/s.
