ExtremeWare XOS 11.5 supports only the Summit X450 family of switches and the BlackDiamond 8800 series switch.
ExtremeWare XOS 11.5 Command Reference Guide
905
create traffic queue egress
create traffic queue <queue_name> egress [strict-priority]
Description
Creates an egress traffic queue for use in ingress and egress HQoS rate limiting. To accomplish this
egress HQoS, you must have an ingress queue that allows egress shaping to associate with this egress
queue. HQoS allows you to control bandwidth throughout the network.
Syntax Description
Default
N/A.
Usage Guidelines
With ingress and egress HQoS, egress traffic queues are associated with one or more ingress traffic
queues. Traffic available for HQoS rate limiting by the egress traffic queue is
only
that traffic was not
previously dropped by the associated ingress traffic queue.
To accomplish ingress and egress HQoS rate limiting, you must:
●
create and configure an ingress queue that allows egress shaping
●
create and configure an egress queue
●
explicitly associate an egress queue with an ingress queue (see
create traffic queue allow-
egress-shaping
)
Strict priority provides a traffic queue with the following three levels of priority: high, medium, and
low. Strict priority HQoS supports one rate as an aggregate rate for the queue and can be associated
with an aggregate peak limit. Look at the counters (using the
show traffic queue [port
<port_list> | <queue_name>] statistics
command) to see how the traffic is flowing.
Example
The following command creates an egress traffic queue named tqe:
create traffic queue tqe egress strict-priority
History
This command was first available in ExtremeWare XOS 11.4.
queue_name
Specifies the egress traffic queue you are configuring for ingress and egress
rate limiting.
