Usage
Information
This command does not uniquely identify a queue, but rather identifies only a set of queues. 
The WRED curve is applied to all eight egress Multicast queues.
Important Points to Remember — 
multicast-bandwidth option
• A unique Multicast Weighted Fair Queuing (WFQ) setting can be applied only on 
a per port-pipe basis. The minimum percentage of the multicast bandwidth 
assigned to any of the ports in the port-pipe will take effect for the entire 
port-pipe.
• If the percentage of multicast bandwidth is 0, control traffic going through 
multicast queues are dropped.
• The no form of the command without 
multicast-bandwidth and wred-profile, will 
remove both the wred-profile and multicast-bandwidth configuration.
• On 10 Gigabit ports only, the multicast bandwidth option will work only if the 
total unicast bandwidth is more than the multicast bandwidth.
• If strict priority is applied along with multicast-bandwidth, the effect of strict 
priority is on all ports where unicast and multicast bandwidth are applied.
• When multicast bandwidth is assigned along with unicast bandwidth, first 
multicast bandwidth will be reserved for that port, then the remaining unicast 
bandwidth configured is adjusted according to the bandwidth available after 
reserving for multicast bandwidth.
