 Queue Scheduler : indicates the weight of the queue on
the dynamic weight algorithm. This configuration is only
allowed if Scheduler Mode is set to 6 Queues Weighted.
Allowed configuration is as follows:

Weight: indicates the weight that queue will
have in the shaping process. This number will be
used by internal algorithm to define how much
average bandwidth that queue can use;

Percent: shows the percentage value that the
queue will fill in allowed bandwidth to the queues
in weighted mode.
 Port Shaper : indicates port rate to be used by shaping
function. Each port has its own shaper configuration, and
each queue at a given port have its own configuration
too. If congestion happens at a given port, port shapers
will perform switching functions to guarantee that
average traffic at that port does not excess Port Shaper
Rate configured. Possible configuration are as follows:

Enable : enable Port Shaper function at the port.
Checkbox selected means function enabled to
that queue, and checkbox empty means
disabled;

Rate: indicates maximum average traffic
allowed in the port. Sporadic peak traffic will be
stored at internal buffer to be forwarded when
peak traffic is lower than Port Shaper Rate value.
Allowed values are integer values and limits
depend on the Unit used. Range of 100 to
1,000,000 is allowed when kbps or fps units are
used. Range of 1 to 32,000 is allowed when Mbps
or kfps units are used;

Unit : indicates which unit should be used with
Rate value to limit traffic. Allowed values are
kbps, Mbps, fps and kfps.
After one of the configurations described before is changed, there are buttons that
allows the user to save or discard the configurations and to return to the previous
menu.
o
Save : save configuration at the Running Config;
o
Reset : undo changes made locally at the Running Config;
o
Back: undo changes made locally and return to previous page.

Mode: shows priority queue mode of operation configured at the QoS Egress
Port Scheduler and Shapers menu;
