Configuring Traffic Templates

The default template cee-tcgt is automatically created when CEE is licensed

on the switch. This template cannot be modified or deleted. Two additional

traffic group options are available when CEE is licensed on the switch—group-

id and lossless.

When in the traffic template context, you can create or modify traffic groups

for that template (except the default templates) by mapping priorities to

queues as well as configuring other attributes. For more information on

creating and modifying traffic templates, see “Configuring Traffic Templates”

on page 5-65 in the Quality of Service chapter in this guide.

Syntax: [no] map-traffic-group <queue-num> [name <namestring>]

[group-id <1-8 >>] [priority <0, ..., 7>] [lossless]

Allows configuration of traffic groups within a traffic template.

<queue-num>: Required; ranges from 1 to the number of active

queues, which can vary from 1 to 8.

name <namestring>: Optional, a name that can be assigned to

help identify the purpose of a particular traffic group. Max-

imum length is 40 characters.

group-id: Only available as an option when CEE is licensed.

DCBX advertisements use this number to identify the traffic

class group, so the number should match the neighboring

port’s TGID. The group-id can have a value from 1 through 8.

Default value is equal to <queue-num> for this traffic group.

priority <0,...,7>: Specifies which priorities are assigned to this

queue. For example, priority 0-3 means that this traffic

group maps priorities 0,1,2, and 3 to the specified queue. All

priorities (between 0-7) must be mapped to a queue.

Priority values cannot be repeated, for example, priority 2, 2,

4 is invalid.

Note: The priority parameter is required for the map-traffic-

group command but it is optional when used in the no context

and the option lossless is being removed.
