    forwarding-classes

    Syntax

    forwarding-classes {class { class-name { queue-num queue-number;}}}

    Hierarchy Level

    Release Information

    Statement introduced in Junos OS Release 11.1 for the QFX Series.

    Description

    Map forwarding classes to queue numbers. You can configure up to 12 forwarding classes (8 unicast forwarding classes on queues 0 through 7 and 4 multidestination forwarding classes on queues 8 through 11) and map them to queues. You can map multiple forwarding classes to a single queue using the class statement. All forwarding classes mapped to a particular queue must be of the same type, either unicast or multicast. You cannot mix unicast and multicast forwarding classes on the same queue.

    Note: If you are using Junos OS Release 12.2, use the default forwarding-class-to-queue mapping for the lossless fcoe and no-loss forwarding classes. If you explicitly configure the lossless forwarding classes, the traffic mapped to those forwarding classes is treated as lossy (best effort) traffic and does not receive lossless treatment.
