Queue Configuration
Beginning with Firmware Version 7.7.4, the queuing characteristics of all “N” and “-02”
model Gateway’s WAN interface can now be configured for:
• strict priority queuing (as currently)
• weighted fair queuing
• rate-limiting funnel
☛ Note:
The configuration mechanism is designed to be flexible enough to accommo-
date complex queuing requirements. Configurations not supported by the
Gateway will be flagged during configuration verification.
You configure the WAN outbound queue as follows:
• create and configure one or more queues, which can be a basic queue or a priority
queue comprising a group of basic queues, a weighted fair queue comprising a group of
basic queues, or a funnel comprising a group of basic queues;
• assign a queue instance to the Ethernet WAN interface;
• map packet attributes to a queue.
The same queue name can be assigned to multiple interfaces which require identical
queue configuration, however currently the only interface available for queueing configura-
tion is ethernet 1.
To help you configure queues, and to maintain compatibility with previous firmware
releases, several queues are set up automatically on upgrade to Version 7.7, or upon a
factory reset.
