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 512 Kbps to 512 Mbps.
