Honoring the Incoming DEI Value
To honor the incoming DEI value, you must explicitly map the DEI bit to an Dell Networking OS drop precedence.
Precedence can have one of three colors.
Precedence Description
Green High-priority packets that are the least preferred to be dropped.
Yellow Lower-priority packets that are treated as best-eort.
Red Lowest-priority packets that are always dropped (regardless of congestion status).
• Honor the incoming DEI value by mapping it to an Dell Networking OS drop precedence.
INTERFACE mode
dei honor {0 | 1} {green | red | yellow}
You may enter the command once for 0 and once for 1.
Packets with an unmapped DEI value are colored green.
