The SmartSwitch 2000 Chassis View
Figure 2-22. The Frame Priority ConÞguration Window
To assign a transmit priority based on frame Type information:
1. Click on the Add button. The entry fields will be activated.
2. Click in the Frame Type text box, and type in the 2-byte frame Type in XXXX
format, where X is a valid hexadecimal value (A-F or 0-9), for which you want
to configure a transmit priority (e.g., 8137 for Novell Type 1 frames).
3. Click on the Priority drop-down list box, and scroll to select the desired
priority level (Normal–7) for forwarding packets received with the specified
Type field information.
4. Click the Apply button. The Frame Type Entries list box will be updated with
the newly created entry.
You can edit an existing frame Type entry by changing its previously assigned
priority. To do so:
1. Highlight the desired entry in the Current Priority Entries list box, and click on
the Edit button. The Priorities drop-down list box will be activated (the Frame
Type cannot be edited once it is initially configured).
2. Click on the Priority drop-down list box, and scroll to select the desired
priority level (Normal–7) for forwarding packets received with the specified
frame Type information.
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.
Click Add to activate the Frame
Type field, then type in the 2
byte hexadecimal frame Type.
Use the drop-down list box to
select a priority (Normal–7)
associated with that frame Type.
Click Apply to set the priority at
the device. Any priority of 1 or
higher will allow packets
received at the chosen port to
be forwarded from the higher
priority transmission queue.
