Configuring RED Drop Profiles
You enable RED by applying a drop profile to a scheduler. When RED is operational on an interface, the queue no longer drops packets from the tail of the queue. Rather, packets are dropped after they reach the head of the queue.
To configure a drop profile, include the drop-profiles statement at the [edit class-of-service] hierarchy level:
In this configuration, include either the interpolate statement and its options, or the fill-level and drop-probability percentage values. These two alternatives enable you to configure either each drop probability at up to 64 fill-level/drop-probability paired values, or a profile represented as a series of line segments, as discussed in RED Drop Profiles Overview.
After you configure a drop profile, you must assign the drop profile to a drop-profile map, and assign the drop-profile map to a scheduler, as discussed in Configuring Drop Profile Maps for Schedulers.
