2. The command wred places you in WRED mode. From this mode, specify minimum and maximum
threshold values using the command
threshold.
Apply a WRED profile to traffic
Once 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 it
DSCP value before queuing it. DSCP is a 6 bit field. Dell Force10 uses the first three bits of this field (DP)
to determine the drop precedence. DP values of 110 and 100 map to yellow, and all other values map to
green. If you do not configure FTOS to honor DSCP values on ingress (Honor DSCP values on ingress
packets on page 831) see all traffic defaults to green drop precedence.
Assign a WRED profile to either yellow or green traffic from QOS-POLICY-OUT mode using the
command
wred.
Display Default and Configured WRED Profiles
Display default and configured WRED profiles and their threshold values using the command show qos
wred-profile
from EXEC mode, as shown in Figure 39-14.
