Priority 3 Typically used for better than best effort; would include important business traffic that can tolerate
some delay.
Priority 2 Typically used for best-effort traffic.
Priority 1 This is the default priority if none is specified.
Priority 0 Typically used for non-critical traffic such as backups, non-critical replications, some electronic mail
and so on.
The switch has 4 physical queues to support the 8 priority levels for each port. On the switch, traffic assigned to
higher index queues gets through faster while traffic in lower index queues is dropped if the network is congested.
You use menu 2.3 to map the priority levels to physical queues.
Frames without explicit priority is given the default priority of the ingress port. You can use menu 6.1 and 6.2 to
configure the default priority for each port.
To configure the priority level-to-physical queue mapping, select Yes in the Edit QoS Support field in menu 2 to
go to Menu 2.3 — QoS Setup. The following figure displays the default queues for each priority level.
