Specify when multi-queue is activated

The Exinda appliance enables greater system throughput, up to 10GB, by using multiple queues to handle the traffic. Configure the appliance to switch from using a single-queue to using multiple queues when the specified bandwidth is reached.

1. Click Configuration > System > Tools > Console.
2. Type the appliance username and password at the prompts. Do one of the following:

• To enter privileged EXEC (enable) mode, at the prompt type the following command:

  hostname > enable

  The hostname # prompt is displayed.

• To enter configuration (config) mode, at the prompt type the following commands:

  hostname # configure terminal

  The hostname (config)# prompt is displayed.

3. Ensure the bridge and policy-based routing interfaces use auto-license mode. Auto-license is the default mode.

   (config)# bridge <bridge-name> mq mode auto-license

   (config)# pbr interface <interface-name> mq mode auto-license

4. Specify at what bandwidth usage the auto-license switches from single-queue to multi-queue.

   (config)# bridge <bridge-name> mq switch-bandwidth <bandwidth>

   (config)# pbr interface <interface-name> mq switch-bandwidth <bandwidth>
