PriorityVLANTag Enables the sending and
receiving of IEEE 802.3ac
tagged frames, which
include:

802.1p QoS (Quality of
Service) tags for prior-
ity-tagged packets

802.1Q tags for VLANs
When this feature is
enabled, tagged packets
use the queue settings
defined by the operating
system's Priority Level Defi-
nition. PriorityVLANTag is
automatically enabled when
you set up a VLAN using
SANsurfer Networking CLI.
Tagging is required for
VLANs and cannot be dis-
abled.
