Configuring CoS Drop Profile Maps
A drop-profile map associates a tail-drop profile for traffic of a specified loss priority with a scheduler. When you use a scheduler map to map a scheduler to a forwarding class, the drop profile map associated with the scheduler applies the specified tail-drop profile to traffic in the forwarding class that matches the specified loss priority.
Drop profile maps enable you to configure different drop profiles for traffic of different loss priorities within the same scheduler. You can associate different drop profiles with low-priority, medium-high priority, and high-priority traffic within a single scheduler, and then map that scheduler to a forwarding class. This applies the appropriate drop profile to traffic of each loss priority in a forwarding class. Drop profile maps apply to all traffic protocols.
To configure a drop-profile map using the CLI:
- For the desired scheduler, configure the traffic loss
priority and specify the drop profile you want to use to control the
drop characteristics for traffic of that loss priority:
[edit class-of-service]
user@switch# set schedulers scheduler-name drop-profile-map loss-priority level protocol any drop-profile drop-profile-name
