Quality of Service Settings
BelAir nodes work in conjunction with one another to allow you to separate
and prioritize traffic. Each BelAir200 node can inspect incoming traffic and
prioritize traffic into four priority queues.
The commands described in this section apply strictly to the BelAir unit that
you are currently logged on to. You must repeat them on each related BelAir
unit. For example, when specifying that particular VLAN traffic has a particular
priority, you must execute the associated commands on each possible BelAir
unit in the path of that VLAN.
Prioritization
Each BelAir node supports four traffic priority queues, numbered 0 to 3.
Queue 3 has the highest priority while queue 0 has the lowest priority. Table 9
describes each queue.
All traffic that is not associated to a VLAN has priority 1. This means that until
you create VLANs, all traffic has priority 1.
