Priority Commands

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.

Example

The following example sets the queue mode to strict priority service mode:

switchport priority default

This command sets a priority for incoming untagged frames. Use the no form to
restore the default value.

Syntax

switchport priority default default-priority-id
no switchport priority default

default-priority-id - The priority number for untagged ingress traffic.
The priority is a number from 0 to 7. Seven is the highest priority.
