Click Add new Queue or the edit icon in the Queue Setup screen to configure a 
queue. 

Figure 54   Queue Setup: Add 

The following table describes the labels in this screen.  

Table 32   Queue Setup: Add

Active

Select to enable or disable this queue.

Name

Enter the descriptive name of this queue.

Interface

Select the interface to which this queue is applied.

This field is read-only if you are editing the queue.

Priority

Select the priority level (from 1 to 3) of this queue.

The smaller the number, the higher the priority level. Traffic assigned to 
higher priority queues gets through faster while traffic in lower priority 
queues is dropped if the network is congested.

Weight

Select the weight (from 1 to 8) of this queue. 

If two queues have the same priority level, the ZyXEL Device divides the 
bandwidth across the queues according to their weights. Queues with 
larger weights get more bandwidth than queues with smaller weights.

Buffer 
Management

This field displays Drop Tail (DT). Drop Tail (DT) is a simple queue 
management algorithm that allows the ZyXEL Device buffer to accept as 
many packets as it can until it is full. Once the buffer is full, new packets 
that arrive are dropped until there is space in the buffer again (packets 
are transmitted out of it). 

Rate Limit

Specify the maximum transmission rate (in Kbps) allowed for traffic on 
this queue.

Apply
