Queue Configuration
Beginning with Firmware Version 7.7.4, the queuing characteristics of all “N” and “-02” model Gateway’s
WAN inter face can now be configured for:
• strict priority queuing (as currently)
• weighted fair queuing
• rate-limiting funnel
☛
Note:
The configuration mechanism is designed to be flexible enough to accommodate complex
queuing requirements. Configurations not suppor ted by the Gateway will be flagged during con-
figuration verification.
You configure the WAN outbound queue as follows:
• create and configure one or more queues, which can be a basic queue or a priority queue comprising a
group of basic queues, a weighted fair queue comprising a group of basic queues, or a funnel compris-
ing a group of basic queues;
• assign a queue instance to the Ethernet WAN inter face;
• map packet attributes to a queue.
The same queue name can be assigned to multiple inter faces which require identical queue configuration,
however currently the only inter face available for queueing configuration is ethernet 1.
To help you configure queues, and to maintain compatibility with previous firmware releases, several
queues are set up automatically on upgrade to Version 7.7, or upon a factor y reset.
