Thanks everyone for your help. I appreciate it. I'm making steady progress towards the written exam and the queueing along with scheduling and shaping are one of my weak spots. Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry

The expedite queue is a priority queue, and it is serviced until empty before the other queues are serviced. You enable the expedite queue by using the priority-queue out interface configuration command.

Reading through the study guide, the command format is: srr-queue bandwidth {share|shape} weight1 weight2 weight3 weight4 I understand that the weightX values are relative, but i have some confusion. My reading (CCIE Routing and switching Exam Certification Guide 4th Ed) says "When you configure the priority queue, the switch ignores any bandwidth values assigned to the priority queue in the share or shape commands." And leaves it at that. Could I theoretically configure somthing that has weight 0 for Queue 1? Like: srr-queue bandwidth shape 0 20 40 20 under an interface? How does the switch know how much weight to assign to the PQ on egress? Is this determined by the queue-set configuration? (mls qos queue-set output 1 buffers 40 20 30 10).What happens if I don't assign a queue-set to an interface? Unfortunately I don't have any 3560s available to test this with. Can anyone help?
