Parameters
•
number-of-queues
—The number of queues to be expedite (SP) queues.
The expedite queues would be the queues with the higher indexes. (Range:
0 to 8)
There must be either 0 WRR queues or more than one. If the
number-of-
queues
is set to 0, all queues are assured forwarding (according to the WRR
weights). If the
number-of-queues
is set to 8, all queues are expedited (SP
queues).
Default Configuration
All queues are expedite queues.
Command Mode
Global Configuration mode
User Guidelines
An expedite queue is a Strict Priority (SP) queue, which is serviced until empty
before the other lower priority queues are serviced.
The weighted round robin (WRR) weight ratios are affected by the number of
expedited queues, because there are fewer queues participating in WRR. This
indicates that the corresponding weight in the wrr-queue bandwidth Interface
Configuration mode command is ignored (not used in the ratio calculation).
Example
The following example configures the number of expedite queues as 2:
switchxxxxxx(config)#
priority-queue out num-of-queues 2
