BLADEOS 6.5.2 Application Guide

Assigning Priority Values to a Priority Group

Each priority group may be configured from its corresponding ETS Priority Group, available using the following command:

RS G8124(config)# cee global ets priority-group <group number (0-7, or 15)>

priorities <priority list>

where priority list is one or more 802.1p priority values (with each separated by a comma). For example, to assign priority values 0 through 2:

RS G8124(config)# cee global ets priority-group <group number (0-7, or 15)> priorities 0,1,2

Note – Within any specific PGID, the PFC settings (see “Priority-Based Flow Control” on

page 200) should be the same (enabled or disabled) for all priority values within the group. PFC can be enabled only on priority value 3 and one other priority. If the PFC setting is inconsistent within a PGID, an error is reported when attempting to apply the configuration. Also, no more than three ETS Priority Groups may include priority values for which PFC is disabled.

When assigning priority values to a PGID, the specified priority value will be automatically removed from its old group and assigned to the new group when the configuration is applied.

Each priority value must be assigned to a PGID. Priority values may not be deleted or unassigned. To remove a priority value from a PGID, it must be moved to another PGID.

For PGIDs 0 through 7, bandwidth allocation can also be configured through the ETS Priority Group menu. See for “Allocating Bandwidth” on page 208 for details.

Deleting a Priority Group

A priority group is automatically deleted when it contains no associated priority values, and its bandwidth allocation is set to 0%.

Note – The total bandwidth allocated to PGID 0 through 7 must equal exactly 100%. Reducing the bandwidth allocation of any group will require increasing the allocation to one or more of the other groups (see “Allocating Bandwidth” on page 208).
