Queue Sharing and Redirection
Quality of Service Guide 461
The no form of the command removes a template queue from the queue group template. If the queue 
is specified as a forwarding class redirection target in any SAP ingress QoS policy, the command will 
fail.
Default none
Parameters queue-id — This required parameter identifies the queue that will either be created or edited 
within the queue group template. 
Values 1 to 32
multipoint — This optional keyword creates an ingress multipoint queue. Multipoint queues in a 
queue group may be used by ingress VPLS for forwarding types multicast, broadcast or 
unknown within a forwarding class. For ingress IES and VPRN access SAPs, only multicast 
is supported. Multipoint queues are only supported on ingress queue group templates
queue-type — The queue types are mutually exclusive to each other. 
Values expedite — This keyword ensures that the queue is treated in an 
expedited manner independent of the forwarding classes mapped 
to the queue.
best-effort — This keyword ensures that the queue is treated in a 
non-expedited manner independent of the forwarding classes 
mapped to the queue.
queue-mode — These keywords are optional and mutually exclusive when creating a new 
template queue. The keywords specify how the queue manages ingress explicitly profiled 
packets.
Values profile-mode — Overrides the default priority mode of the queue 
and allows the adoption of color-aware profiling within the queue. 
Forwarding classes and sub-classes may be explicitly defined as 
in-profile or out-of-profile. Out-of-profile classified packets 
bypass the CIR rate associated with the queue reserving it for the 
undefined or in-profile classified packets. If the template queue is 
not defined as profile-mode and the packet redirected to the queue 
is explicitly out-of-profile based on the classification rules, the 
queues within CIR bandwidth may be consumed by the packet.
priority-mode — Defines that the SAP ingress QoS policy 
priority classification result will be honored by the queue. Priority 
mode is the default mode of the queue. High priority packets are 
allowed into the queue up to the mbs size defined for the queue. 
Low priority packets are discarded at the low priority MBS 
threshold which is derived from applying the hi-prio-only 
percentage to the queues MBS and subtracting that result from the 
mbs size defined.
create — Keyword used to create the queue ID instance. The create keyword requirement can be 
enabled/disabled in the environment>create context.
