This page is set up in a table format. For each port listed in the Port column, you can type a PVID in the PVID column.
Default Port CoS
Port Priority allows the user to specify which ports have greater precedence in situations where traffic may be buffered in the switch due to congestion. The
ports with a setting of "high" will transmit their packets before those with a "normal" setting. The settings on this page only affect ingress packets that are
