Example - configuring 802.1p priority "5" for the traffic received on VLAN 100 at "ge0"
The 802.1p priority assignment takes place only for the incoming packets with 802.1Q tags (VLAN tags) at the wired interfaces. In order to specify the 802.1p priority associated to a VLAN, go to the “Switch” menu page in the Web interface then proceed to add new VLAN:
- Click on the “Add VLAN” button VLAN 2 is added by default
- Modify the value for the VLAN tag according to the actual requirements:
| Center | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
...
- The VLAN just added is by default disabled (off) on all the ports. The following options are available for the port configuration:
“on” - allows the VLAN to pass through that port
“off” - does not allow the VLAN to pass
“native” - allows the VLAN to pass, but and also allows also the untagged traffic to pass through that port.
- Assign an 802.1p priority. The packets received at the wired interfaces can be marked with an 802.1p priority. “0” is the lowest priority and “7” - the highest.
Below, we can see how 802.1p priority "5" was assigned to the traffic received with VLAN 100 at the "ge0" interface. Priority "5" will not be assigned to the traffic incoming at the "radio" interface even if VLAN 100 is allowed to pass through the "radio" interface
