5.2.1 Configuring a Network Queue QoS Policy
Configuring and applying QoS policies other than the default policy is optional. A 
default network queue policy is applied to network ingress and network egress ports, 
as well as the ports on a ring adapter card, which includes the ring ports, the add/
drop port, and the v-port. See Default Network Queue QoS Policy Values for default 
values.
Perform the following when creating a network queue policy.
• Enter a network queue policy name. The system does not dynamically assign a 
name.
• Include a description. The description provides a brief overview of policy 
features.
• Assign a forwarding class. You can assign a forwarding class to a specific queue 
after the queue has been created.
