Interface Queue Configuration - Dell PowerConnect M8024 User Manual

The Interface Configuration page contains the following fields:
• Interface — Selects the interface to be affected by the Interface Shaping Rate. Select Unit/Port, or
LAG to be affected from the drop-down menu. Select Global to specify all interfaces.
• Interface Shaping Rate — Sets the cap on how much traffic can leave a port. The specified value
represents the maximum negotiated bandwidth in kilobit per second (Kbps). The range is 0 - Infinity
or 64 to 4294967295 kbps.
• Restore to Defaults — Restores the default interface shaping rate to the selected interfaces when
checked.

Interface Queue Configuration

Use the Interface Queue Configuration page to define what a particular queue does by configuring
switch egress queues. User-configurable parameters control the amount of bandwidth used by the queue,
the queue depth during times of congestion, and the scheduling of packet transmission from the set of
all queues on a port. Each port has its own CoS queue-related configuration.
The configuration process is simplified by allowing each CoS queue parameter to be configured globally
or per-port. A global configuration change is automatically applied to all ports in the system.
