Packet Priority
Three levels of priority (High, Medium, and Low) are supported for data packets (i.e., IP packets,
IPX packets, and STP packets), whether in frame relay or point-to-point mode. When priority
levels are in use, the packets are processed based on their priority setup. To apply a priority level
to a given DLCI, click the Priority button on the Frame Relay Setup dialog box, then select that
DLCI on the Priority Setup dialog box and select the desired Priority Level from the drop-down
list and click OK. After that, for frame relay operation the software checks for priority and then
processes the packets on that DLCI accordingly.
Packet priority can be disabled by selecting None on the Priority Setup dialog box.
The Priority Setup dialog box for PPP has an option for Port Based priority replacing the DLCI
Based option shown on the following screen; for PPP, select the Port (Port 1 or Port 2) where
you want the priority applied, then select the desired Priority Level from the drop-down list.
