8.5.1Setting the Current Queueing Mode

To set the current queueing mode for a particular port, proceed as follows:

1.Use the arrow keys to highlight the Port field.

2.Press the SPACE bar to step to the appropriate port number. The port type displays to the right of the Port number field.

TIP: To display the current port settings, press ENTER after selecting the port number.

3.Use the arrow keys to highlight the Current Queueing Mode field.

4.To select the Current Queueing Mode for the port selected in step 1, press the SPACE bar to toggle to either STRICT 802.1 or WEIGHTED. The default is STRICT 802.1.

If STRICT 802.1 is selected, the frames will be transmitted out the selected port according to the frame transmit priority queue set in the Advanced Priority Configuration screen. The weight priority transmit queue fields, Q0 through Q3, do not display. Go to step 8 to save the setting.

If WEIGHTED is selected, the weight priority transmit queue fields, Q0 through Q3, display. The frames will be transmitted out the port according to the percent of transmit capacity allocated for each transmit queue. The default percentages are 25% for each transmit queue (Q0 through Q3). To set the priority transmit queue fields, go to step 5.

5.Use the arrow keys to highlight the Q0 field.

6.Use the SPACE bar to step to the appropriate percent value for the priority transmit queue, Q0. Q0 is the lowest priority transmit queue. Repeat this step for Q1, Q2, and Q3.

NOTE: Total percentage of transmit queues Q0 through Q3 must add up to 100% or the values cannot be saved.

For example: Q0, 0%+ Q1, 25% + Q2, 25% + Q3, 50% = 100%

7.To save the settings so they apply to the port selected in step 1, go to step 8. To save the settings so they apply to all available ports, proceed to step 9.

8.Use the arrow keys to highlight the SAVE command at the bottom of the screen. Then press ENTER. The message “SAVED OK” displays and the settings are saved for the port selected in step 1.

9.Use the arrow keys to highlight the SET ALL PORTS command. Then press ENTER. The message “SAVED OK” displays and the settings are saved for available ports.
