queue mode

This command sets the queue mode to strict priority or Weighted
Round-Robin (WRR) for the class of service (CoS) priority queues. Use the
no form to restore the default value.

Syntax

queue mode {strict | wrr}
no queue mode

strict - Services the egress queues in sequential order, transmitting

all traffic in the higher priority queues before servicing lower
priority queues.

wrr - Weighted Round-Robin shares bandwidth at the egress ports

by using scheduling weights 1, 2, 4, 6 for queues 0 - 3 respectively.

Default Setting

Weighted Round Robin

Command Mode

Global Configuration

Command Usage

You can set the switch to service the queues based on a strict rule that
requires all traffic in a higher priority queue to be processed before
lower priority queues are serviced, or use Weighted Round-Robin
(WRR) queuing that specifies a relative weight of each queue. WRR
uses a predefined relative weight for each queue that determines the
percentage of service time the switch services each queue before
moving on to the next queue. This prevents the head-of-line blocking
that can occur with strict priority queuing.
