Set the priority for a port
If the QoS mode on the switch is Port-Based (the default setting), you can set the priority
for a port.
The switch services traffic from ports with a critical priority before traffic from ports with
a high, medium, or low priority. Similarly, the switch services traffic from ports with a
high priority before traffic from ports with a medium or low priority. If severe network
congestion occurs, the switch might drop packets with a low priority.
You also can set the priority for a port (the same feature) as part of the Quality of Service
configuration on the switch (see Use port-based quality of service and set port priorities
on page 24).
1. Open a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as the
switch, or connected directly to the switch through an Ethernet cable.

The password is the one that you specified the first time that you logged in. The user
name and password are case-sensitive.

The PORT STATUS pane displays on the right or the bottom of the HOME page,
depending on the size of your browser window.
A port that is in use shows as UP. A port that is not in use shows as AVAILABLE.
4. Select the port.
The pane displays detailed information about the port.
5. Click the EDIT button.
The EDIT PORT page displays for the selected port.
If the QoS mode on the switch is Port-Based (the default setting), the Priority menu
displays on the page. If the QoS mode is 802.1P/DSCP, the Priority menu does not
display.
