Chapter 2 Network configuration 71
Using the BayStack 380 10/100/1000 Switch
IEEE 802.1p Prioritizing
You can use the VLAN Configuration screens to prioritize the order in which the
switch forwards packets, on a per-port basis. For example, if messages from a
specific segment are crucial to your operation, you can set the switch port
connected to that segment to a higher priority level (by default, all switch ports are
set to Low priority). When the switch receives untagged packets on that port, the
untagged packets are tagged according to the priority level that you assign to the
port.
