Priority Commands
The commands described in this section allow you to specify which data packets 
have greater precedence when traffic is buffered in the switch due to congestion. 
This switch supports CoS with four priority queues for each port. Data packets in a 
port’s high-priority queue will be transmitted before those in the lower-priority 
queues. You can set the default priority for each interface, the relative weight of each 
queue, and the mapping of frame priority tags to the switch’s priority queues. 
Priority Commands (Layer 2)
switchport priority default
This command sets a priority for incoming untagged frames. Use the no form to 
restore the default value.
Syntax 
switchport priority default default-priority-id
no switchport priority default
default-priority-id - The priority number for untagged ingress traffic. 
The priority is a number from 0 to 7. Seven is the highest priority. 
Default Setting 
The priority is not set, and the default value for untagged frames received on 
the interface is zero.
