Setting Up Priority Tagging

With priority tagging, you can specify a priority value for traffic based on
MAC source or destination addresses. For example, you could tag all
packets from computer A with a priority of 7 (high).
When you define priority tagging, you can specify a priority value from 0
(low) to 7 (high). Traffic with a priority value of 0–3 is routed through the
switch's low priority queue. Traffic with a priority value of 4–7 is routed
through the switch's high priority queue.
You can define up to 12 MAC addresses for priority tagging.

1 Click the Configure Device menu, and then click Priority Tagging.
2 Click Add.

5 Select a priority value.
Traffic tagged with priority values 0–3 is routed through the switch's
low priority queue. Traffic tagged with priority values 4–7 is routed
through the switch's high priority queue.

pattern.
