Egress port and priority based rate shaping

4

NOTE

The egress rate shaping burst size for a port and priority-based shaper is 3072 bytes.

To set the capacity for priority 2 traffic on a 10 Gbps port to the incremental capacity over 2 Gbps,
use the following command.

Brocade(config)# interface ethernet 2/2

Brocade(config-if-e10000-2/2)# qos shaper priority 2 2000000000

Syntax: [no] qos shaper priority priority-level rate

The priority-level variable specifies the priority that you want to set rate shaping for on the port
being configured.

The rate variable sets the rate you want to set for the priority. The rate is set in bps.

Multicast queue size, flow control, rate shaping and egress buffer
threshold

There are four internal priorities for multicast or broadcast traffic. These four priorities are mapped
from the device’s eight internal priorities as described in

Table 33

The internal forwarding priority of a multicast or broadcast packet is determined from the packet’s
IEEE 802.1p priority, incoming port priority or IP ToS or DSCP as described in the

“Default QoS

mappings”

on page 79. Four multicast queue types (0 to 3) are used for multicast internal priorities

0 to 3 respectively.

NOTE

Instead of ACL priority, use VLAN or port priority to prioritize multicast traffic.

Configuring multicast queue size

The following example configures a 2 MByte queue size for queue 0.

Brocade(config)# qos multicast-queue-type 0 max-queue-size 2048

Syntax: [no] qos multicast-queue-type queue-number max-queue-size queue-size

The queue-number variable specifies the queue that you want to configure a maximum size for.
Possible values are 0 - 3.

The queue-size variable specifies size in KBytes that you want to set as the maximum value for the
specified multicast queue. Possible values are 1 - 32768 KBytes. The default queue size is 1
Mbyte.

This command is applied per device and takes effect on all Traffic Managers within the configured
device.
