Configuring Priority Queuing Based on Packet Type
You can use the Frame Priority ConÞguration window, Figure 2-22, to determine
packet queuing based solely upon its Type Þeld data. Frame type entries are
maintained in the ctPriorityExtPktTypeTable. You can conÞgure up to 15 frame
Type priority entries for the device.
NOTE
When creating priority entries, you can specify up to four Frame Types for the same MAC
Address value.
NOTE
Remember, since the SmartSwitch 2000 has two transmit queues, a priority of Normal
will cause packets to be forwarded through the lower priority queue, and any priority of 1
through 7 will cause the packets to be forwarded through the higher priority queue.
