priority (Schedulers)
Syntax
Hierarchy Level
Release Information
Statement introduced before Junos OS Release 7.4.
Description
Specify the packet-scheduling priority value.
Options
priority-level can be one of the following:
low—Scheduler has low priority.
medium-low—Scheduler has medium-low priority.
medium-high—Scheduler has medium-high priority.
high—Scheduler has high priority. Assigning high priority to a queue prevents the queue from being underserved.
strict-high—Scheduler has strictly high priority. Configure a high priority queue with unlimited transmission bandwidth available to it. As long as it has traffic to send, the strict-high priority queue receives precedence over low, medium-low, and medium-high priority queues, but not high priority queues. You can configure strict-high priority on only one queue per interface.
The strict-high priority level is the only priority level supported on ACX Series Routers. However, multiple strict-high priority queues can be configured per interface on ACX Series Routers.
Required Privilege Level
interface—To view this statement in the configuration.
interface-control—To add this statement to the configuration.
