This window lets you configure the slice percentages for each transmit queue. These percentages are used when configuring the weighted fair queuing arbiter mode for a transmit queue port group. They determine the way that traffic in each queue will be serviced. (For more information on the arbiter mode, see Transmit Queue Bandwidth Configuration.) The number of transmit queues varies by port type. The graphic below shows an Edit Slice Percentages window for a 4-queue port type.
To access this window, open the Class of Service Configuration window (available from the Policy Manager Edit menu). Right-click on a value in the Transmit Queue Bandwidth column to open the Edit Bandwidth Configuration window. Select the Weighted Fair Queuing arbiter mode and then click the Edit button in the Slice Configuration section.
If you have configured multiple transmit queue port groups, you must use advanced mode to configure arbiter mode for the multiple groups. For more information, see the Arbiter Mode tab Help topic.
Click the graphic for more information.
- Port Group
- The port group whose slice percentages are being configured. Typically, this is the Default port group. However, for Advanced Mode, this is the transmit queue port group selected in the left-panel Classes of Service tree.
Slice Configuration
Select the slice percentage to assign to each transmit queue. Percentages must add up to 100%. Configuring 100% for the highest priority (highest numbered) queue sets the arbiter mode to Strict mode.
