Create WRED Profiles
To create a WRED profile, follow these steps:
1. To create a WRED profile, use the 
wred command from CONFIGURATION mode.
2. The 
wred command places you in WRED mode. From this mode, specify minimum and maximum 
threshold values using the 
threshold command.
Apply a WRED Profile to Traffic
After you create a WRED profile, you must specify to which traffic FTOS should apply the profile.
FTOS assigns a color (also called drop precedence)—red, yellow, or green—to each packet based on the 
DSCP value before queuing it. DSCP is a 6-bit field. If the fourth bit from MSB in DSCP is 0, then it is 
assigned as green packet. If it is 1, then it is assigned as Yellow packet (expect DSCP of 111111, which is a 
Red packet and is always dropped). If you do not configure FTOS to honor DSCP values on ingress, all 
traffic defaults to green (refer to Honor DSCP Values on Ingress Packets).
To assign a WRED profile to either yellow or green traffic, use the 
wred command from 
QOS-POLICY-OUT mode.
Display Default and Configured WRED Profiles
To display default and configured WRED profiles and their threshold values, use the show qos wred-profile 
command from EXEC mode (Figure 24-12).
