the entry. To do so:

the Edit button. The Priority drop-down list box will be activated. (All other
parameters will remain grayed-out, since they cannot be edited once they are
initially configured).

Configuring Priority Queuing Based on Packet Type
You can use the Frame Priority Configuration window, Figure 2-22 , to determine packet
queuing based solely upon its Type field data. Frame type entries are maintained in the
ctPriorityExtPktTypeTable. You can configure up to 15 frame Type priority entries for the
device.
NOTE
Since the SmartSwitch 6000 and Matrix E7 modules have two transmit queues, a priority
of Normal will cause packets to be forwarded through the lower priority queue, and any
priority of 1 through 7 will cause the packets to be forwarded through the higher priority
queue.
