QoS Configuration
QoS settings allow customization of packet priority in order to facilitate delivery of
data traffic that might be affected by latency problems. When CoS / 802.1p Tag
Priority is applied, the Switch recognizes 802.1Q VLAN tag packets and extracts the
VLAN tagged packets with User Priority value.

Set up the COS priority level. With the drop-down selection item of Priority Type above
being selected as COS only/COS first, this control item will then be available to set the
queuing policy for each port.
Priority Queue Service settings
QoS settings allow customization of packet priority in order to facilitate delivery of
data traffic that might be affected by latency problems. The IEEE 802.1p Priority
specification uses 8 priority levels to classify data packets. In 802.1p compliant
devices, a tag inserted into the packet header is used to identify the priority level of
data packets.
The Switch supports Static Port Ingress priority and four queues. The screen in Figure
4-56 appears.
