Defining Queues

The Queue Page contains fields for defining the QoS queue forwarding types.The Queue Page allows network managers to define scheduling types. WRR Weights are defined once the WRR option has been selected for a specific QoS service queue. Modifying queue scheduling affects the queue settings globally.

To set the queue settings:

1.Click QoS > General > Queue. The Queue Page opens.

Figure 77. Queue Page

The Queue Page contains the following fields:

Queue — Displays the number of queues for which the scheduling type and WRR weights are defined.

Scheduling — Indicates the scheduling type by which the bandwidth is allocated to queues. The system supports selecting up to two group entries. Group entries must be selected in consecutive order. The possible field values are:

Strict Priority — Specifies whether traffic scheduling is based strictly on the queue priority.

WRR Assigns the WRR scheduling type to the queue.

WRR Weight — Assigns WRR weights to queues. This field is enabled only for queues in WRR queue mode. If a queue is set to 0 weight, the queue is not operational. Each queue has a weight range, queues 1-7 have the range 0-255, and queue 8 has the range 1-255.

% of WRR Bandwidth — Indicates the amount of bandwidth assigned to the QoS queue.
