Setting dot1p Priorities for Incoming Traffic
Dell Networking OS places traffic marked with a priority in a queue based on the following table.
If you set a dot1p priority for a port-channel, all port-channel members are configured with the same
value. You cannot assign a dot1p value to an individual interface in a port-channel.

Honoring dot1p Priorities on Ingress Traffic
By default, Dell Networking OS does not honor dot1p priorities on ingress traffic.
You can configure this feature on physical interfaces and port-channels, but you cannot configure it on
individual interfaces in a port channel.
You can configure service-class dynamic dot1p from CONFIGURATION mode, which applies the
configuration to all interfaces. A CONFIGURATION mode service-class dynamic dot1p entry supersedes
any INTERFACE entries. For more information, refer to Mapping dot1p Values to Service Queues.
NOTE: You cannot configure service-policy input and service-class dynamic dot1p on
the same interface.
