CoS/802.1p to Queue
The CoS/802.1p to Queue page maps 802.1p priorities to egress queues. The CoS/802.1p to
Queue Table determines the egress queues of the incoming packets based on the 802.1p priority
in their VLAN Tags. For incoming untagged packets, the 802.1p priority is the default
CoS/802.1p priority assigned to the ingress ports.
The following table describes the default mapping:
802.1p Values (0-7, 7 being the
highest)
Queue (4 queues 1-4, 4 being the
highest priority)
