Quality of Service (QoS): Managing Bandwidth More Effectively
QoS Queue Configuration
Configuring Traffic Templates
Overview
In order to define multiple coherent mappings of 802.1p priorities to queues,
traffic class groups (traffic groups) are defined in the context of a traffic
template. A traffic group consists of a set of priorities that are mapped to a
queue and is contained within a traffic template. The traffic template is then
assigned in its entirety to all the switch ports.
The number of traffic groups allowed within a traffic template is equal to the
number of queues configured on a platform, although a queue may have no
priorities mapped to it.
For example, if you want to configure a switch with a priority to queue
mapping that matches a connected networking device queue configuration,
and the neighbor device has 3 queues configured, all priorities should be
mapped to the 3 highest priority queues on the switch in a manner that matches
the configuration of the neighbor device.
Displaying Traffic Template Information
To display information about traffic templates, enter the show qos traffic-
template [<namestring>] command.
Figure 5-29 is an example of the information displayed for all the configured
traffic templates.
