Click Add New Queue or the Edit icon in the Queue Setup screen to configure a queue.
Figure 80 Management > Bandwidth MGMT > Queue Setup: Add/Edit new queue
The following table describes the labels in this screen.
Priority This shows the priority of this queue.
Weight This shows the weight of this queue.
Buffer
Management
This shows the queue management algorithm used for this queue.
Queue management algorithms determine how the EMG3425-Q10A should handle packets
when it receives too many (network congestion).
Rate Limit This shows the maximum transmission rate allowed for traffic on this queue.
Modify Click the Edit icon to edit the queue.
Click the Delete icon to delete an existing queue. Note that subsequent rules move up by
one when you take this action.

LABEL DESCRIPTION
Active Select to enable or disable this queue.
Name Enter the descriptive name of this queue. Note that \"<>%\\^[]`\+\$\,='#&@.:() are not
allowed.
To Interface Select the interface to which this queue is applied.
Priority Select the priority level (from 1 to 7) of this queue.
The smaller the number, the higher the priority level. Traffic assigned to higher priority
queues gets through faster while traffic in lower priority queues is dropped if the network is
congested.
Weight Select the weight (from 1 to 8) of this queue.
If two queues have the same priority level, the EMG3425-Q10A divides the bandwidth
across the queues according to their weights. Queues with larger weights get more
bandwidth than queues with smaller weights.
Buffer
Management
This field displays Drop Tail (DT). Drop Tail (DT) is a simple queue management
algorithm that allows the EMG3425-Q10A buffer to accept as many packets as it can until it
is full. Once the buffer is full, new packets that arrive are dropped until there is space in the
buffer again (packets are transmitted out of it).
