8-Port or 16-Port 10-Gigabit/Multi-Gigabit Smart Managed Plus Switch
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.
