NOTE
The priority of an ingress frame is determined in order by:
1. Port Highest Priority
2. Inspect TOS
3. Inspect CoS
NOTE
The designer can enable these classifications individually or in combination. For instance, if a
‘hot,’ higher priority port is required for a network design, “Inspect TOS” and “Inspect CoS”
can be disabled. This setting leaves only port default priority active, which results in all ingress
frames being assigned the same priority on that port.
