Priority Trust Mode On A Port - HP 6125XLG Configuration Manual

Priority trust mode on a port

The priority trust mode on a port determines which priority is used for priority mapping table lookup. Port
priority was introduced to use for priority mapping in addition to the priority fields carried in packets. The
Switch Series provides the following priority trust modes:
• Using the 802.1p priority carried in packets for priority mapping.

mapping table is used)

NOTE:
When the 802.1p priority carried in packets is trusted, the port priority is used for priority mapping
for packets which do not carry VLAN tags (namely, do not carry 802.1p priorities.) The priority
mapping results are the same as not trusting packet priority, as shown in
Using the DSCP carried in packets for priority mapping.

• Using the port priority as the 802.1p priority for priority mapping. The port priority is user
configurable.
