Field Action/Description
Discard 
Priority Egress
Select one of the following options:
Mapped from DE – (default) The value of the Discard Priority bit is used 
to set the CLP bit when the frame is segmented into cells. The mapping is 
done just before the frame is presented to the hardware for segmentation. 
The Discard/ Priority bit is a product of the ingress data stream’s Discard 
Priority bit setting and whatever modifications are made to this bit due to 
rate enforcement processing.
Always 0 – The value of the CLP bit is always set to zero (0) for all cells 
transmitted on this trunk.
Always 1 – The value of the CLP bit is always set to 1 for all cells 
segmented from all frames transmitted on this trunk.
Note: Changing the value of this attribute does not admin down the 
logical port.
Discard 
Priority – 
Ingress
Select one of the following options:
Mapped to DE – (default) The value of the CLP bit received in the cells 
that make up the ingress frame is transferred directly to the internal 
Discard Priority bit. The Discard Priority bit is transferred with the frame 
to the egress card for subsequent transmission. If the egress packet format 
is Frame Relay, then the Discard Priority bit is included in the Q.922 
header as the discard eligible (DE) bit; if the egress packet format is 
ATM, then the CLP bit is set from the Discard Priority bit. 
Always 0 – The value of the CLP bit is always set to zero (0) for all cells 
transmitted on this trunk.
Always 1 – The value of the CLP bit is always set to 1 for all cells 
segmented from all frames transmitted on this trunk.
Not mapped – The value of the Discard Priority bit is always set to zero 
(0), ignoring the CLP setting received in the frame. This setting is 
transferred to the egress card.
Notes: These Discard Priority settings are used by the rate enforcement 
and congestion control processing on the egress card. The egress card 
may change the Discard Priority bit due to congestion or rate 
enforcement.
Changing the value of this attribute does not admin down the logical 
port.
