By default on all platforms, four output queues are mapped to four forwarding classes as shown in Table 178. On SRX-series devices, you can configure up to eight forwarding classes and eight queues once the eight-queue mode has been enabled. For more information on enabling up to eight queues on SRX-series devices, see Forwarding Classes
![]() |
Note: The new setting takes place only after the FPC is restarted. |
To configure up to eight forwarding classes, include the queue statement at the [edit class-of-service forwarding-classes] hierarchy level:
- [edit class-of-service forwarding-classes]
- queue queue-number class-name;
The output queue number can be from 0 through 7, and you must map the forwarding classes one-to-one with the output queues. The default scheduler transmission rate and buffer size percentages for queues 0 through 7 are 95, 0, 0, 5, 0, 0, 0, and 0 percent.
For example, to configure a one-to-one mapping between eight forwarding classes and eight queues: you would use the following configuration:
- [edit class-of-service]
- forwarding-classes {
- queue 0 be;
- queue 1 ef;
- queue 2 af;
- queue 3 nc;
- queue 4 ef1;
- queue 5 ef2;
- queue 6 af1;
- queue 7 nc1;
- }
Defining Eight Classifiers
- [edit class-of-service]
- classifiers {
-
- dscp dscp-table {
-
- forwarding-class ef {
- loss-priority low code-points [101000, 101001];
- loss-priority high code-points [101010, 101011];
- }
-
- forwarding-class af {
- loss-priority low code-points [010000, 010001];
- loss-priority high code-points [010010, 010011];
- }
-
- forwarding-class be {
- loss-priority low code-points [000000];
- }
-
- forwarding-class nc {
- loss-priority low code-points [111000];
- }
-
- forwarding-class ef1 {
- loss-priority low code-points [101100, 101101];
- loss-priority high code-points [101110];
- }
-
- forwarding-class af1 {
- loss-priority high code-points [101110];
- }
-
- forwarding-class ef2 {
- loss-priority low code-points [101111];
- }
-
- forwarding-class af2 {
- loss-priority low code-points [010000];
- }
-
- forwarding-class nc1 {
- loss-priority low code-points [111001];
- }
- }
- }
Adding Eight Schedulers to a Scheduler Map
Configure a custom scheduler map that applies globally to all interfaces, except those that are restricted to four queues:
- [edit class-of-service]
- scheduler-maps {
-
- sched {
- forwarding-class be scheduler Q0;
- forwarding-class ef scheduler Q1;
- forwarding-class af scheduler Q2;
- forwarding-class nc scheduler Q3;
- forwarding-class ef1 scheduler Q4;
- forwarding-class ef2 scheduler Q5;
- forwarding-class af1 scheduler Q6;
- forwarding-class nc1 scheduler Q7;
- }
- }
- schedulers {
-
- Q0 {
- transmit-rate percent 25;
- buffer-size percent 25;
- priority low;
- drop-profile-map loss-priority any protocol both drop-default;
- }
-
- Q1 {
- buffer-size temporal 2000;
- priority strict-high;
- drop-profile-map loss-priority any protocol both drop-ef;
- }
-
- Q2 {
- transmit-rate percent 35;
- buffer-size percent 35;
- priority low;
- drop-profile-map loss-priority any protocol both drop-default;
- }
-
- Q3 {
- transmit-rate percent 5;
- buffer-size percent 5;
- drop-profile-map loss-priority any protocol both drop-default;
- }
-
- Q4 {
- transmit-rate percent 5;
- priority high;
- drop-profile-map loss-priority any protocol both drop-ef;
- }
-
- Q5 {
- transmit-rate percent 10;
- priority high;
- drop-profile-map loss-priority any protocol both drop-ef;
- }
-
- Q6 {
- transmit-rate remainder;
- priority low;
- drop-profile-map loss-priority any protocol both drop-default;
- }
-
- Q7 {
- transmit-rate percent 5;
- priority high;
- drop-profile-map loss-priority any protocol both drop-default;
- }
- }
