Queue Configuration

Use the Queue Configuration screen to define what a particular queue does by configuring
switch egress queues. User-configurable parameters control the amount of bandwidth used
by the queue and the scheduling of packet transmission from the set of all queues on a port.
The CoS queue configuration is global.
You can configure four queues as strict priority or weighted round robin (WRR) priority. If a
specific queue is configured as WRR, all the queues with a lower number are also WRR
queues. The configuration is global and not per port.
To configure CoS queue settings:

1. Select QoS CoS

The following screen displays:
2. Select the check box next to the port or LAG to configure.
You can select multiple ports and LAGs to apply the same setting to the selected
interfaces. Select the check box in the heading row to apply a trust mode or rate to all
interfaces.
3. Configure any of the following settings:
• Queue ID. Select the queue to be configured.
• Minimum Bandwidth. Enter a value in the range 1–100 that reflects the relative
bandwidth of this queue. The bandwidth allocation per queue is the configured weight
divided by the sum of all the configured weights. The sum of the minimum bandwidths
for all queues does not have to equal 100.
• Scheduler Type. Select the type of queue processing. Options are Weighted and
Strict. Defining on a per-queue basis enables you to create the desired service
characteristics for different types of traffic. Four queues can be configured as strict
Advanced Queue Configuration.
