Usage
Information
This command does not uniquely identify a queue, but rather identifies only a set of
queues. The WRED curve is applied to all eight egress Multicast queues.
Important Points to Remember — Multicast-Bandwidth Option
• A unique multicast weighted fair queuing (WFQ) setting can be applied only on
a per port-pipe basis. The minimum percentage of the multicast bandwidth
assigned to any of the ports in the port-pipe takes effect for the entire port-
pipe.
• If the percentage of multicast bandwidth is 0, control traffic going through
multicast queues are dropped.
• The no form of the command without multicast-bandwidth and wred-
profile, removes both the wred-profile and multicast-bandwidth
configuration.
• On 10-Gigabit ports only, the multicast bandwidth option works only if the total
unicast bandwidth is more than the multicast bandwidth.
• If strict priority is applied along with multicast-bandwidth, the effect of strict
priority is on all ports where unicast and multicast bandwidth are applied.
• When multicast bandwidth is assigned along with unicast bandwidth, first
multicast bandwidth is reserved for that port, then the remaining unicast
