Configuring Priority MAC Addresses
When you select Priority MAC Addresses from the Configuration menu, the following
screens are displayed.
The Setup Priority MAC Addresses window allows you to set up the priority, between
0 and 7 with 0 being the highest, for a specified MAC address.
To set the priority level for a MAC address:
1. Type the VLAN ID in the VLAN ID field.
2. Type the MAC address for which priority on the GbE Interconnect Switch is to be
established in the MAC Address field.
3. Type the priority level for the MAC address in the Priority Level field. The range is
from 0 to 7, with 0 being the highest priority.
4. In the Look at field, select the state under which the priority will be active. The
options are:
— Dst. Addr—Packets with the selected MAC address as their destination will be given
the selected priority.
— Src. Addr—Packets with the selected MAC address as their source will be given the
selected priority.
— Either—All packets with the selected MAC address will be given the selected
priority.
5. Click Apply to apply the changes.
NOTE: To save the configuration settings permanently, you must enter them into NVRAM using
the Save Changes option on the Maintenance menu. Refer to the section, “Saving Changes,”
