Honoring dot1p Priorities on Ingress Traffic
By default, the system does not honor dot1p priorities on ingress traffic.
You can configure this feature on physical interfaces and port-channels, but you cannot configure it on
individual interfaces in a port channel.
You can configure service-class dynamic dot1p from CONFIGURATION mode, which applies the
configuration to all interfaces. A CONFIGURATION mode service-class dynamic dot1p entry supersedes
any INTERFACE entries. For more information, refer to Mapping dot1p Values to Service Queues.
NOTE: You cannot configure service-policy input and service-class dynamic dot1p on
the same interface.

Priority-Tagged Frames on the Default VLAN
VLAN Priority-tagged frames are 802.1Q tagged frames with (default) VLAN ID 0. For VLAN classification,
these packets are treated as untagged. However, the dot1p value is still honored when you configure
service-class dynamic dot1p or trust dot1p.
When priority-tagged frames ingress an untagged port or hybrid port, the frames are classified to the
default VLAN of the port and to a queue according to their dot1p priority if you configure service-
class dynamic dotp
or trust dot1p. When priority-tagged frames ingress a tagged port, the frames
are dropped because, for a tagged port, the default VLAN is 0.
Dell Networking OS Behavior: Hybrid ports can receive untagged, tagged, and priority tagged frames.
The rate metering calculation might be inaccurate for untagged ports because an internal assumption is
made that all frames are treated as tagged. Internally, the ASIC adds a 4-bytes tag to received untagged
frames. Though these 4-bytes are not part of the untagged frame received on the wire, they are included
in the rate metering calculation resulting in metering inaccuracy.
Configuring Port-Based Rate Policing
If the interface is a member of a VLAN, you may specify the VLAN for which ingress packets are policed.
