Defining Queues

The Queue Page contains fields for defining the QoS queue forwarding types.The Queue

Page allows network managers to define scheduling types. WRR Weights are defined

once the WRR option has been selected for a specific QoS service queue. Modifying

queue scheduling affects the queue settings globally.

To set the queue settings:

1. Click QoS > General > Queue. The Queue Page opens.

Figure 77. Queue Page

The Queue Page contains the following fields:

Queue — Displays the number of queues for which the scheduling type and WRR

weights are defined.

Scheduling — Indicates the scheduling type by which the bandwidth is allocated to

queues. The system supports selecting up to two group entries. Gro

up entries must be

selected in consecutive order. The possible field values are:

Strict Priority — Specifies whether traffic scheduling is based strictly on the

queue priority.

WRR Assigns the WRR scheduling type to the queue.

WRR Weight — Assigns WRR weights to queues. This field is enabled only for

queues in WRR queue mode. If a queue is set to 0 weight, the queue is not

operational. Each queue has a weight range, queues 1-7 have the range 0-255, and

queue 8 has the range 1-255.

% of WRR Bandwidth — Indicates the amount of bandwidth assigned to the QoS

queue.
