392 ExtremeWare Software 7.3.0 Command Reference Guide
QoS Commands
configure red drop-probability
configure red drop-probability <percent>
Description
Configures the Random Early Detect (RED) drop-probability.
Syntax Description
Default
N/A.
Usage Guidelines
When the switch detects that traffic is filling up in any of the eight hardware queues, it performs a
random discard on subsequent packets, based on the configured RED drop-probability. The destination
node detects the dropped packet, and, using standard TCP windowing mechanisms, slows the
transmission from the source node. RED drop-probability is configured on a system-wide basis.
The percentage range is 0 - 100%.
Example
The following command configures the RED drop-probability as 80%:
configure red drop-probability 80
