Figure 55 Queue Setup: Add
The following table describes the labels in this screen.
Table 32 Queue Setup: Add
LABEL | DESCRIPTION |
Active | Select to enable or disable this queue. |
|
|
Name | Enter the descriptive name of this queue. |
|
|
Interface | Select the interface to which this queue is applied. |
| This field is |
|
|
Priority | Select the priority level (from 1 to 3) of this queue. |
| The smaller the number, the higher the priority level. Traffic assigned to |
| higher priority queues gets through faster while traffic in lower priority |
| queues is dropped if the network is congested. |
|
|
Weight | Select the weight (from 1 to 8) of this queue. |
| If two queues have the same priority level, the ZyXEL Device divides the |
| bandwidth across the queues according to their weights. Queues with |
| larger weights get more bandwidth than queues with smaller weights. |
|
|
Buffer | This field displays Drop Tail (DT). Drop Tail (DT) is a simple queue |
Management | management algorithm that allows the ZyXEL Device buffer to accept as |
| many packets as it can until it is full. Once the buffer is full, new packets |
| that arrive are dropped until there is space in the buffer again (packets |
| are transmitted out of it). |
|
|
Rate Limit | Specify the maximum transmission rate (in Kbps) allowed for traffic on |
| this queue. |
|
|
Apply | Click Apply to save your changes. |
|
|
Cancel | Click Cancel to exit this screen without saving. |
