Assigning priority policies to PoE traffic
You can use the configurable QoS (Quality of Service) features in the switch to create prioritization policies for traffic moving through PoE ports. The available classifiers and their order of precedence are show in the table below.
Priority |
QoS classifier |
|---|---|
1 |
UDP/TCP application type (port) |
2 |
Device priority (destination or source IP address) |
3 |
IP type of service (ToS) field (IP packets only) |
4 |
VLAN priority |
5 |
Incoming source-port on the switch |
6 |
Incoming 802.1 priority (present in tagged VLAN environments) |
