Use this command to map 802.1D (802.1p) priorities to transmit queues.

Syntax

set port priority-queue port-string priority queue

Parameters

port-string Specifies the port(s) for which to set priority queue.
priority Specifies a value of 0 - 7 (0 is the lowest level) that determines what priority frames will be transmitted at the priority queue level entered in this command.
queue Specifies a value (0 is the lowest level) that determines when to transmit the frames with the port priority entered in this command. Number of transmit queues varies by port type. Typical values are:
  • 100Base-T - 4
  • 1000Base-T - 4
  • 1000Base-X - 8

Defaults

None.

Mode

All command modes.

Usage

This command enables you to change the priority configured for a priority-queue (0-7, depending on port type, with 0 being the lowest priority queue) for each port priority of the selected port. You can apply the new settings to one or more ports. For example, if the priority queue is set to 3 for those frames with a port priority 4, then those frames would be transmitted before any frames contained in traffic classes 2 through 0.

Example

This example shows how to set priority 5 frames received on ge.2.12 to transmit at the lowest priority queue of 0.
