BLADEOS 6.5.2 Application Guide

This example can be configured using the following commands:

1.Turn CEE on.

RS G8124(config)# cee enable

Note – Turning CEE on will automatically change some 802.1p QoS and 802.3x standard flow control settings and menus (see “Turning CEE On or Off” on page 192).

2.Configure each allocated priority group with a description (optional), list of 802.1p priority values, and bandwidth allocation:

RS G8124(config)# cee global ets priority-group 2 priorities 0,1,2

 

(Select a group for regular LAN, and

 

set for 802.1p priorities 0, 1, and 2)

RS G8124(config)# cee global ets bandwidth 2 10

 

(Restrict to 10% of link bandwidth)

RS G8124(config)# cee global ets priority-group 2 description

"Regular LAN"

(Set a group description—optional)

RS G8124(config)# cee global ets priority-group 3 priorities 3

(Select a group for SAN traffic, and set for 802.1p priority 3)

RS G8124(config)# cee global ets bandwidth 3 20

(Restrict to 20% of link bandwidth)

RS G8124(config)# cee global ets priority-group 3 description "SAN" (Set a group description—optional)

RS G8124(config)# cee global ets priority-group

4 priorities 4

 

(Select a group for latency traffic,

 

and set for 802.1p priority 4)

RS G8124(config)# cee global ets bandwidth 4 30

 

 

(Restrict to 30% of link bandwidth)

RS G8124(config)# cee global ets priority-group

4 description

"Biz-Critical LAN"

(Set a group description—optional)

3.Configure the strict priority group with a description (optional) and a list of 802.1p priority values:

RS G8124(config)# cee global ets priority-group 15 priorities 7 (Select a group for strict traffic, and Set 802.1p priority 7)

RS G8124(config)# cee global ets priority-group 15 description

"Network Management"

(Set a group description—optional)

Note – Priority group 15 is permitted unlimited bandwidth. As such, the commands for priority group 15 do not include bandwidth allocation.

4.Save the configuration.
