640 CHAPTER 15: PRIORITIZING NETWORK TRAFFIC
The report can help you determine whether you have applied a consistent
end-to-end traffic prioritization configuration in your network. This is
particularly useful if you have decided to manually configure your devices.
Whenever you run the Prioritization Configuration report, 3Com
Network Director retrieves the configuration information directly from
the supported 3Com devices in your network. As this report must poll
each of the devices for data it may take several minutes to run.
Examples The following section details useful examples of traffic prioritization
configuration.

Configuration to New
