802.1p Based Priority
802.1p-based priority uses a header in the data packet that identifies the class of data in the
packet (for example, voice or video). When 802.1p based priority is used, the switch reads
information in the packet header to determine the priority to assign to the packet. When
802.1p Based Priority is used, all ports on the switch check the packet header and transmit
the packet with a priority determined by the packet content.
To select 802.1p Based priority:
1.
Select
System
and click on the radio button for the switch you want to configure.

radio button. A message will display warning you that previous
QoS settings for the switch will be lost.
