DESCRIPTION

Method

Select Strictly Priority or Weighted Fair Scheduling.

 

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 Scheduling 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.

 

 

FE Port SPQ

This field is applicable only when you select Weighted Fair Scheduling.

Enable

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

 

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 Weighted Fair Scheduling for the 10/100 Mbps

 

Ethernet ports.

 

 

Port

This label shows the port you are configuring.

 

 

Weight Q0~Q7

When you select Weighted Fair Scheduling, enter the queue weight here.

 

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

 

Queues with larger weights get more guaranteed bandwidth than queues with

 

smaller weights.
