VLAN Tag Priority uses the tag field information which has been inserted into an Ethernet frame. If a port has
an 802.1Q-compliant device attached (such as this Ethernet Extender), these tagged frames can carry VLAN
membership information.
Priority defines the user priority level for different classes of traffic. There are 8 possible priority levels, with 0
being the lowest priority level and 7 being the highest level. Each Priority level can be set queue from 0 to 3.
For example, you can set the Model 2160 to use Weighted Round-Robin (WRR) queuing (Type 1) that speci-
fies a relative weight of each queue. WRR uses a predefined relative weight for each queue that determines the
percentage of s time to services for each queue before moving on to the next queue.
IP DSCP Priority QoS
Differentiated Services (DiffServ) is a class of service (CoS) model that enhances best-effort Internet services by
differentiating traffic by users, service requirements and other criteria. Packets are specifically marked, allowing
network nodes to provide different levels of service, as appropriate for video playback, voice calls or other
delay-sensitive applications, via priority queuing or bandwidth allocation.
The DSCP value used to identify 64 levels (26=64) of service determines the forwarding behavior that each
packet gets across the DiffServ network. Based on the marking rule different kinds of traffic can be marked for
different priorities of forwarding. Resources can then be allocated according to the DSCP values and the con-
figured policies.
Set up queue index (0, 1, 2 or 3) on each DSCP:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Command: setup qos ipDscpPri <0~63> <0~3>
Message: Please input the following information.
IP DSCP index <0~63>: 0
Queue index (ENTER for default) <0>:
