z  Large amount of broadcast/multicast packets and large burst traffic exist. 
z  Packets of high-rate links are forwarded to low-rate links or packets of multiple links with the equal 
rates are forwarded to a single link that is of the same rate as that of the incoming links. 
Although the burst function helps reduce the packet loss ratio and improve packet processing capability 
in the networks mentioned above, it may affect QoS performance. So, use this function with caution.  
Traffic Mirroring 
Traffic mirroring classifies traffic using ACLs and copies the matched traffic from all ports or the 
specified VLAN/port to the destination port. For more information about mirroring, refer to the Mirroring 
module of this manual.

Configuring Priority Trust Mode 
The switch provides the following two priority trust modes: 
z  Trusting port priority 
By default, the 4210 series trust port priority.  
z  Trusting packet priority 
You can configure the switch to trust the 802.1p priority or DSCP precedence of packets. If no trusted 
priority type is specified, the switch trusts the 802.1p priority of received packets.  
For detailed information about priority trust mode, refer to 
Priority trust mode.  
Configuration prerequisites 
The priority trust mode to be configured is determined.
