Mapping specific values for CoS priorities is implemented as an interface configuration
command, but any changes will apply to the all interfaces on the switch.

Selecting the Queue Mode

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.

Command Usage
• Strict priority requires all traffic in a higher priority queue to be processed before

lower priority queues are serviced.

• WRR uses a relative weighting for each queue which determines the amount of

packets the switch transmits every time it services each queue before moving on
to the next queue. Thus, a queue weighted 8 will be allowed to transmit up to 8
packets, after which the next lower priority queue will be serviced according to it’s
weighting. This prevents the head-of-line blocking that can occur with strict priority
queuing.
