LABEL

DESCRIPTION

Port

This label shows the port you are configuring.

 

 

Method

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

 

WRR (Weighted Round Robin).

 

SPQ 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.

 

WFQ 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.

 

WRR 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.

 

 

Q0~Q7

When you select WFQ or WRR, enter the queue weight here. Bandwidth

Weight

is divided across the different traffic queues according to their weights.

 

Queues with larger weights get more service than queues with smaller

 

weights.

 

 

Hybrid-SPQ

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

Lowest-Queue

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

 

subsequent queue(s) after and including the specified queue. For

 

example, if you select Q5, the Switch services traffic on Q5, Q6 and Q7

 

using SPQ.

 

Select None to always use WFQ or WRR.

 

 

Apply

Click Apply to save your changes to the Switch’s run-time memory. The

 

Switch loses these changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the

 

Save link on the top navigation panel to save your changes to the non-

 

volatile memory when you are done configuring.

 

 

Cancel

Click Cancel to begin configuring this screen afresh.
