IPv6 Prioritization
System Release 13.2 provides operators the ability to prioritize IPv6 traffic in addition
to IPv4 traffic. IPv6 prioritization works similar to IPv4 prioritization where the user
can select the Code Point and the corresponding priority from the GUI of the AP and
the IPv6 packet is set up accordingly. There is no separate GUI option for IPv6 priority.
Once the priority is set, it is set for IPv4 and IPv6 packets. Then depending upon which
packet is received, the set priority is used. The default for IPv6 priority is none.
Configuring IPV6 Priority
IPv6 prioritization is set using the DiffServ tab on the AP and SM (located at
Configuration => DiffServ). A priority set to a specific Code Point will apply to both
IPv4 and IPv6 traffic.

Priorities of 0 through 3 map to the low-priority channel; 4 through 7 to
the high- priority channel. The mappings are the same as 802.1p VLAN
priorities.
Consistent with RFC 2474
CodePoint 0 is predefined to a fixed priority
value of 0 (low-priority channel).
CodePoint 48 is predefined to a fixed priority value of 6 (high-priority
channel). CodePoint 56 is predefined to a fixed priority value of 7 (high-
priority channel).
Operator cannot change any of these three fixed priority values. Among
