Configure port-based Quality of Service
You can assign a priority to all data passing through a particular port. Data with a higher
priority is transmitted faster. If packets arrive at several ports at the same time, the ports
configured as higher priority transmit their packets first. You must determine which ports will
carry delay-sensitive data.
Use the local browser interface to configure port-based
QoS
To configure port-based QoS:
1. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired network connection, or connect directly to a switch that is
off-network using an Ethernet cable.
2. Launch a web browser.
3. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
If you do not know the IP address of the switch, see Access the switch using a web
browser on page 17.
The login window opens.
4. Enter the switch’s password in the password field.
The switch’s default password is password.
The Switch Information page displays.

button and continue with
Step 7.
