9.3.1.2 set port priority
Use this command to set the 802.1D (802.1p) Class-of-Service transmit queue priority (0 through 7)
on each port. A port receiving a frame without priority information in its tag header is assigned a
priority according to the priority setting on the port. For example, if the priority of a port is set to 5,
the frames received through that port without a priority indicated in their tag header are classified
as a priority 5.
A frame with priority information in its tag header is transmitted according to that priority.

Class-of-Service, including how to configure a CoS policy to override port transmit
queue priority, refer to Chapter 8.
When CoS override is enabled using the set policy profile command as described in
Section 8.3.1.2, CoS-based classification rules will take precedence over priority
settings configured with this command.
