Port queue groups

When an ingress or egress queue group template is defined, a port-based queue group with the same name may be created. Port queue groups are named objects that act as a container for a group of queues. The queues are created based on the defined queue IDs within the associated queue group template. Port queue groups must be created individually on the ingress and egress sides of the port, but multiple port queue groups of the same template name may be created on egress ports if they have a different instance identifier. These are termed ‛queue group instances’. Each instance of a named queue group created on a port is an independent set of queues structured as per the queue group template. Port queue groups are only supported on Ethernet ports and may be created on ports within a LAG.

Additional parameters can be configured under port queue groups, for example, an accounting policy, queue overrides, a scheduler policy, and scheduler overrides.
