Chapter 16 Ethernet Port Configuration

16.8 Queue Method

Queuing is used to help solve performance degradation when there is network congestion.

Depending on your device model, use the Switch Setup screen to configure queuing
algorithms for outgoing traffic (refer to

Section 14.1 on page 120

).

Follow the steps below to configure queuing for each port.

1 In the Device Panel list, select a device and then right-click.

2 Click Configuration > Ethernet Port Configuration > Queue Method.

3 Select a device and the port(s) to which you want to apply this configuration.

DESCRIPTION

SPQ

Select SPQ (Strict Priority Queuing) to service queues based on priority only. When the

highest priority queue empties, traffic on the next highest-priority queue begins. The default

queuing method is Strictly Priority.
Weighted Fair Scheduling
is used to guarantee each queue's minimum bandwidth based

on their bandwidth portion (weight) (the number you configure in the Weight field). Queues

with larger weights get more guaranteed bandwidth than queues with smaller weights.

WRR

Select WRR (Weighted Round Robin Scheduling) to service queues on a rotating basis

based on their queue weight (the number you select from the drop-down list box for the

corresponding queue). Queues with larger weights get more service than queues with

smaller weights.
