Default IP Precedence Classifier

By default, all logical interfaces are automatically assigned an implicit IP precedence classifier called ipprec-compatibility. The ipprec-compatibility IP precedence classifier maps IP precedence bits to forwarding classes and packet loss priorities (PLPs), as shown in Table 1.

The other default IP precedence classifier (called ipprec-default) overrides the ipprec-compatibility classifier when you explicitly associate it with a logical interface. To do this, include the default statement at the [edit class-of-service interfaces interface-name unit logical-unit-number classifiers inet-precedence] hierarchy level:

Table 2 shows the forwarding class and PLP that are assigned to the IP precedence bits when you apply the default IP precedence classifier.
