Configure a Strict Priority for the Multicast Queue

Note

This feature is supported only on devices based on Extreme 8820, SLX 9740, SLX 9640, and SLX 9540.

1. Enter global configuration mode.
   

   device# configure terminal
   

2. Enter interface configuration mode.
   

   device# interface ethernet 0/1
   

3. Set the QoS scheduler to a strict priority.
   

   device(conf-if-eth-0/1)# qos rx-queue multicast best-effort-rate 3000

   The multicast best effort data rate is in kilobits per second (kbps) and has range from 704 through 600000000.
4. Return to privileged EXEC mode.
   

   device(conf-if-eth-0/1)# end
   

5. Verify the configuration.
   

   device# show qos interface 0/1
   

6. Save the running-config file to the startup-config file
   

   device# copy running-config startup-config
   

This example summarizes the commands in this procedure.

device# configure terminal
device(config)# interface ethernet 0/1
device(conf-if-eth-0/1)# qos rx-queue multicast best-effort-rate 3000
device(conf-if-eth-0/1)# end
device# show qos interface 0/1
device# copy running-config startup-config
