Some additional questions have arisen from further experimentation with the existing (default) configuration:
· Although the VLAN tag is removed by the switch, not only the priority seems to be ignored but also the DEI (drop-enable-indicator) flag, i.e., everything seems to be dropped equally, regardless of L2 priority or DEI. Is there any configuration that supports DEI, or is it solely based on queue assignment?
· I see references to ehternet 1/1 with little or no explanation. Does this refer to eth1, queue 1? The only reason I’m guessing that is that there are 4 queues, and I seem to remember having seen 1/1, ½, 1/3, and ¼.
· I seem to remember having seen that two of the queues (1,4?) allow dropping and two (2,3?) don’t. Is this by design or through configuration? I don’t recall having seen anything about configuring this in particular.
· Is there any advantage to using the web GUI in place of the CLI? I don’t see that it clarifies anything or even corresponds to CLI operations in any obvious way.
