auto-expedite — This keyword allows the system to auto-define the way the queue is
serviced by the hardware. When auto-expedite is defined on the queue, the queue is treated
in an expedited manner when all forwarding classes mapped to the queue are configured as
expedited types nc, ef, h1 or h2. When a single non-expedited forwarding class is mapped to
the queue (be, af, l1 and l2) the queue automatically falls back to non-expedited status.
Default auto-expedite
multipoint — This keyword specifies that this queue-id is for multipoint forwarded traffic only.
This queue-id can only be explicitly mapped to the forwarding class multicast, broadcast, or
unknown unicast ingress traffic. If you attempt to map forwarding class unicast traffic to a
multipoint queue, an error is generated and no changes are made to the current unicast traffic
queue mapping.
A queue must be created as multipoint. The multipoint designator cannot be defined after the
queue is created. If an attempt is made to modify the command to include the multipoint
keyword, an error is generated and the command will not execute.
The multipoint keyword can be entered in the command line on a pre-existing multipoint
queue to edit queue-id parameters.
pool-name — The specified pool-name identifies a named pool where the policy will be applied.
Each queue created within the system is tied to a physical port. When the policy is applied
and the queue is created, the system will scan the named pools associated with the port to find
the specified pool name. If the pool is not found on the port, the system will then look at
named pools defined at the ports XMA or MDA level. If the pool name is not found on either
the port, XMA, or MDA, the queue will be marked as ‘pool-orphaned’ and will be mapped to
the appropriate default pool. If the pool comes into existence, the queue will be moved from
the default pool to the new named pool and the ‘pool-orphaned’ state will be cleared. The
specified name must be an ASCII name string up to 16 characters long.
Values Any valid ASCII name string
Default None
The queue’s pool association may only be removed by either re-executing the queue
command without the pool keyword or by executing the no pool command within the queue’s
CLI context. When the pool name is removed, the queue will be placed on the appropriate
default pool.

Description This command is utilized once the queue is created within the policy. The pool command may be used
to either remove the queue from the pool, or specify a new pool name association for the queue. The
pool command does not appear in save or show command output. Instead, the current pool name for
the queue will appear (or not appear) on the queue command output using the pool keyword.
