The Switch uses the same user priority for frames forwarded that it uses for received
frames. The default value of the user priority is as follows:
When the received frame is a forwarded frame: The default value is 3.
When the received frame is a frame originated by the Switch: The default value is 7.
Also, the user priority for sent frames can be changed by configuration. For details about
how to change the user priority, see the following:
