The following table describes the fields in this screen.
16.9 Queue Method
Queuing is used to help solve performance degradation when there is network congestion.
Depending on your device model, use the Switch Setup screen to configure queuing
algorithms for outgoing traffic (refer to Section 14.1 on page 143).
To open the configuration screen, right-click on the switch in the Device List Panel, and click
Configuration > Ethernet Port > Queue Method. Then select a device and the port(s) to
which you want to apply this configuration.

Table 86 Ethernet Port Configuration: VLAN Stacking
LABEL DESCRIPTION
Role Select Normal to have the switch ignore frames received (or transmitted) on this port with
VLAN stacking tags. Anything you configure in SPVID and Priority is ignored.
Select Access Port to have the switch add the SP TPID tag to all incoming frames
received on this port. Select Access Port for ingress ports at the edge of the service
provider's network.
Select Tunnel Port (available for Gigabit ports only) for egress ports at the edge of the
service provider's network. In order to support VLAN stacking on a port, the port must be
able to allow frames of 1526 Bytes (1522 Bytes + 4 Bytes for the second tag) to pass
through it.
SPVID SPVID is the service provider's VLAN ID (the outer VLAN tag). Enter the service provider
ID (from 1 to 4094) for frames received on this port. See the chapter on VLANs for more
background information on VLAN ID.
Priority Select the priority level of the inner IEEE 802.1Q tag.
"0" is the lowest priority level and "7" is the highest.
Apply Click Apply to save the changes.
