Configuring the Priority Classification Method
IPmux-24 Ethernet ring protection is a VLAN-based mechanism. This is why the
traffic must be prioritized using the VLAN priority method – 802.1p.
³ To configure the priority classification method:
• From the Classification menu (Configuration > QoS > Priority > Classification),
set the priority classification method of each network port (Network-ETH1
and Network/User-ETH2) and TDM PW traffic to 802.1p.

2. Network/User-ETH2 > (802.1p)
3. User-ETH3 > (Port default priority )
4. TDM PW > (802.1p)

Mapping the 802.1p Priorities to Traffic Classes
To ensure a proper operation of the Ethernet ring, map the 802.1p priorities as
follows:
• Priority 7 (ring status traffic) – to traffic class 2
• Priority 6 (PW traffic) – to traffic class 1
• Priority 5 (management traffic) – to traffic class 0.
