or IP Port
Number
Type the MAC (Media Access Control) address or IP address of a device on
your network. Network traffic to this device is prioritized according to the priority
level of this rule.
Enter the MAC address using six pairs of hexadecimal characters, for example,
00:A0:C5:00:00:02.
Enter the IP address in dotted decimal notation, for example, 192.168.1.1.

Low.

Priority Mapping
Assign Priority
Using
Use this section to enable or disable priority rules based on VLAN priority
settings or ToS bits.
Select None if you are not prioritizing traffic based on VLAN priority settings or
ToS bi ts.
Select Support VLAN Tags to map VLAN priority settings to powerline priority
settings. For example, ISPs often assign VLAN tags to traffic based on customer
contracts or traffic type. Selecting this option supports ISP assigned priority
settings.
• VLAN priority settings are not to be confused with VLAN ID. The VLAN tag
contains both priority settings (0~7) and ID information (1~4095).
Select Support TOS Bits to map ToS settings to powerline priority settings. Do
this if you receive network traffic which has been assigned ToS (Type of Service)
bits by the device or application that generated it, or by an intermediate device.
For example, a VoIP device on your network may assign priority to the traffic it
has generated. Selecting this option supports the priority settings such a device
may have assigned.
Value VLAN priority settings and ToS bits priority settings range from 0 to 7 with 7 as
the highest priority.
Priority Assign a priority setting to packets passing through your NBG318S based on
their VLAN tag or ToS bit priority setting. The options are Highest, High, Mid
and Low. Use Figure 47 on page 128 as a guide if you are unsure of what
mappings to assign.
Default Priority
Traffic Type This option applies priority settings to traffic based on its traffic type. You can
prioritize IGMP, Unicast, IGMP managed Multicast Stream or Multicast/
Broadcast network traffic. However, it is recommended that you do not change
the default settings.
Apply Click Apply to save your settings.
