The following table describes the labels in this screen.
Table 17 QoS Setting
LABEL | DESCRIPTION |
Advanced | Click this link to configure QoS settings based on port number, IP address or configure |
| DSCP or ToS priority to 802.1p priority mappings. |
|
|
Number of | This field displays the number of queues configurable on the switch. Click Change to edit |
queues | the number of queues on the switch. |
|
|
Scheduling | Select Strict Priority or Weighted Round Robin. |
Method | Strict Priority scheduling singles out the highest priority queue and ensures all queued |
| traffic in this queue is transmitted before servicing the lower priority queues. Strict |
| Priority scheduling services the remaining queues using WRR. |
| Note: Queue weights can only be changed when Weighted Round |
| Robin is selected. |
| 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. |
|
|
Priority | This value indicates packet priority and is retrieved from the priority tag field of incoming |
| packets. The values range from 0 (lowest priority) to 7 (highest priority). Click the options |
| below the priority values to send packets of a specific priority to a particular queue. You |
| can also set this priority based on criteria you configure in the Advanced QoS screens. |
| See the sections later in this chapter for more information. |
|
|
Queue 0 ... | This field indicates which Queue (0 to 3) you are configuring. Queue 0 has the lowest |
Queue 3 | priority and Queue 3 the highest priority. |
|
|
Weight | You can only configure the queue weights when Weighted Round Robin is selected. |
| Bandwidth is divided across the different traffic queues according to their weights. |
| Note: If you want to use Strict Priority but want to change the weights |
| for the queues, configure them with Weighted Round Robin |
| selected first and then change the scheduling method to Strict |
| Priority. |
Apply | Click Apply to save your changes to the switch. |
