The device does not support marking drop precedence for packets.
A device can operate in one of the following two priority trust modes when assigning precedence to
received packets:
z Packet priority trusted mode
z Port priority trusted mode
In terms of priority trust mode, the priority mapping process is shown in
Figure 1-4.

As for packet priority trusted mode, you can configure to trust the following packet priority:
z 802.1p precedence
z DSCP precedence
Trusting the 802.1p precedence
In this mode, you can specify to process the received packets in one of the following two ways.
z Keeping the original packet precedence unchanged (the default mode)
z Replacing the original packet precedence with the corresponding one (the automap mode).
If a packet does not carry 802.1p precedence, the device uses the priority of the receiving port as the
802.1p precedence of the packet and then looks up the COS-precedence-to-other-precedence
mapping table for the corresponding precedence.
Trusting the DSCP precedence
In this mode, you can specify to process the received packets in one of the following ways.
z Keeping the original packet precedence unchanged (the default mode)
z Replacing the original packet precedence with the corresponding one (the automap mode)
z Looking up the DSCP-precedence-to-DSCP-precedence mapping table for the local DSCP
precedence and then looking up the DSCP-precedence-to-other-precedence mapping table based
on the new DSCP precedence for the one to be assigned to the packets (the remap mode)
