DESCRIPTION

Method

Select SPQ (Strictly Priority Queuing), WFQ (Weighted Fair Queuing) or WRR

 

(Weighted Round Robin).

 

Strictly Priority services queues based on priority only. When the highest priority queue

 

empties, traffic on the next highest-priority queue begins. Q7 has the highest priority and

 

Q0 the lowest.

 

Weighted Fair Queuing is used to guarantee each queue's minimum bandwidth based on

 

their bandwidth portion (weight) (the number you configure in the Weight field). Queues

 

with larger weights get more guaranteed bandwidth than queues with smaller weights.

 

Weighted Round Robin Scheduling services queues on a rotating basis based on their

 

queue weight (the number you configure in the queue Weight field). Queues with larger

 

weights get more service than queues with smaller weights.

 

 

FE Port

This field is applicable only when you select WFQ or WRR.

SPQ

Select a queue (Q0 to Q7) to have the Switch use Strictly Priority to service the

Enable

subsequent queue(s) after and including the specified queue for the 10/100 Mbps

 

Ethernet ports. For example, if you select Q5, the Switch services traffic on Q5, Q6 and

 

Q7 using Strictly Priority.

 

Select None to always use WFQ or WRR for the 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports.
