Port Priority Configuration Screen Fields
The following information briefly explains each Port Priority Configuration
Screen field.
Port # (Read-Only)
This field displays each switched port on the device.
Priority (Selectable)
This field allows a user to select the transmit priority that will be added to the tag
header of frames received without the priority indicated in their tag header. The
user can select a priority of 0 (lowest priority) through 7 (highest priority) for each
port. All ports are set to the default value of “0” when the device is initialized.
Set All Switch Port’s Priority (Selectable)
This field allows a user to set all ports to one default transmit priority. The user
can select a value of 0 (lowest priority) through 7 (highest priority), which applies
to all ports.
Setting Switch Port’s Priority Port-by-Port
To set the default port priority on a particular port, proceed as follows:
1. Use the arrow keys to highlight the Priority field for the particular port.
2. Press the Space Bar to step to the appropriate value 0 through 7.
3. Use the arrow keys to highlight the SAVE command at the bottom of the
screen.
4. Press ENTER. The message “SAVED OK” displays and the setting is saved.
Frames with priority indicated in their tag header are transmitted out ports only
if the associated VLAN is specified to transmit frames with a tagged frame format.
