-
Strict Priority
—Traffic scheduling for the selected queue and all higher 
queues is based strictly on the queue priority.
-
WRR
—Traffic scheduling for the selected queue is based on WRR. The 
period time is divided between the WRR queues that are not empty, 
meaning they have descriptors to egress. This happens only if strict 
priority queues are empty.
-
WRR Weight
—If WRR is selected, enter the WRR weight assigned to the 
queue.
-
% of WRR Bandwidth
—Displays the amount of bandwidth assigned to 
the queue. These values represent the percent of the WRR weight.
STEP  3 Click Apply. The queues are configured, and the Running Configuration file is 
updated.
Mapping CoS/802.1p to a Queue 
The CoS/802.1p to Queue page maps 802.1p priorities to egress queues. The 
CoS/802.1p to Queue Table determines the egress queues of the incoming 
packets based on the 802.1p priority in their VLAN Tags. For incoming untagged 
packets, the 802.1p priority is the default CoS/802.1p priority assigned to the 
ingress ports.
