User-configurable scheduler profile

The user-configurable scheduler profile is a template that defines either the scheduling mechanism or scheduling profile (weights assigned to the queues) or both for the egress queues.

A configured user-configurable scheduler profile for egress queues can be applied to any hardware device. The default QoS is applicable to the entire system. If the scheduler profile is configured using the qos mech strict command, all devices in the system are configured with the strict priority. The user-configurable scheduler profile is applicable only to the specific devices, leaving the remaining devices running default QoS. On any device, user-configurable scheduler profile has high priority over the default QoS. The user-configurable scheduler profile should be in line with default QoS commands in both stacking and standalone systems.

On RUCKUS ICX 7750 devices, scheduler profiles are applied at the port, rather than at the device (port region), level. See the description of the scheduler-profile command In the RUCKUS FastIron Command Reference for more information.

  1. User-configurable scheduler profile configuration
    Configuring a user-configurable scheduler profile involves, selecting a proper mechanism and appropriate weights for the traffic classes (TCs) corresponding to that mechanism.
