7.2 Basic Configuration
This section contains the following topics related to creating and applying slope QoS 
policies:
• Creating a Slope QoS Policy
• Applying Slope Policies
• Default Slope Policy Values
A basic slope QoS policy must conform to the following rules.
• Each slope policy must have a unique policy ID.
• High slope and low slope are shut down (default).
• Default values can be modified but parameters cannot be deleted.
7.2.1 Creating a Slope QoS Policy
Configuring and applying QoS policies is optional. If no QoS policy is explicitly 
defined, a default QoS policy is applied.
To create a new slope policy, you must define the following:
• a slope policy name — the system does not dynamically assign a name
• a description — a brief description of the of policy
• the high slope for the high-priority WRED/RED slope graph
• the low slope for the low-priority WRED/RED slope graph
Use the following CLI syntax to configure a slope policy:
