This command creates a text description stored in the configuration file for a configuration context.
The description command associates a text string with a configuration context to help identify the context in the configuration file.
The no form of this command removes any description string from the context.
No description is associated with the configuration context.
This command copies existing QoS policy entries for a QoS policy-id to another QoS policy-id.
The copy command is a configuration level maintenance tool used to create new policies using existing policies. It also allows bulk modifications to an existing policy with the use of the overwrite keyword.
This command enables the context to configure a QoS slope policy.
slope-policy “default”
This command sets a weighting factor to calculate the new shared buffer average utilization after assigning buffers for a packet entering a queue. To derive the new shared buffer average utilization, the buffer pool takes a portion of the previous shared buffer average and adds it to the inverse portion of the instantaneous shared buffer utilization.
The time-average-factor command sets the weighting factor between the old shared buffer average utilization and the current shared buffer instantaneous utilization when calculating the new shared buffer average utilization
The TAF value applies to all high and low priority RED slopes for ingress and egress access buffer pools controlled by the slope policy.
The no form of this command restores the default setting.
7 - Weighting instantaneous shared buffer utilization is 0.8%.
The exceed-slope context contains the commands and parameters for defining the exceed Random Early Detection (RED) slope graph. Each egress buffer pool supports an exceed RED slope for managing access to the shared portion of the buffer pool for exceed-profile packets.The exceed-slope parameters can be changed at any time and the affected buffer pool exceed RED slopes are adjusted appropriately.The no form of this command restores the exceed slope configuration commands to the default values. If the leaf commands within exceed-slope are set to the default parameters, the exceed-slope node will not appear in save config and show config output unless the detail parameter is present.
The high-slope context contains the commands and parameters for defining the high Random Early Detection (RED) slope graph. Each buffer pool supports a high RED slope for managing access to the shared portion of the buffer pool for in-profile packets.
The high-slope parameters can be changed at any time and the affected buffer pool high RED slopes will be adjusted appropriately.
The no form of this command restores the high slope configuration commands to the default values. If the commands within high-slope are set to the default parameters, the high-slope node will not appear in save config and show config output unless the detail parameter is present.
The low-slope context contains the commands and parameters for defining the low Random Early Detection (RED) slope graph. Each buffer pool supports a low RED slope for managing access to the shared portion of the buffer pool for low out-of-profile packets.
The low-slope parameters can be changed at any time and the affected buffer pool low RED slopes must be adjusted appropriately.
The no form of this command restores the low slope configuration commands to the default values. If the leaf commands within low-slope are set to the default parameters, the low-slope node will not appear in save config and show config output unless the detail parameter is present.
Sets the exceed, low, or high Random Early Detection (RED) slope position for the shared buffer average utilization value where the packet discard probability rises directly to one. The percent parameter is expressed as a percentage of the shared buffer size.
The no form of this command restores the max-avg value to the default setting. If the current start-avg setting is larger than the default, an error will occur and the max-avg setting will not be changed to the default.
max-avg 90 — High slope default is 90% buffer utilization before discard probability is 1.
max-avg 75 — Low slope default is 75% buffer utilization before discard probability is 1.
max-avg 55 — Exceed slope default is 55% buffer utilization before discard probability is 1.
Sets the exceed, low, or high Random Early Detection (RED) slope position for the maximum non-one packet discard probability value before the packet discard probability rises directly to one. The percent parameter is expressed as a percentage of packet discard probability where always discard is a probability of 1. A max-prob value of 80 represents 80% of 1, or a packet discard probability of 0.8.
The no form of this command restores the max-prob value to the default setting.
max-prob 80 to 80% maximum drop probability corresponding to the max-avg.
This command enables or disables the administrative status of the Random Early Detection slope.
By default, all slopes are shutdown and have to be explicitly enabled (no shutdown).
The no form of this command administratively enables the RED slope.
shutdown - RED slope disabled implying a zero (0) drop probability
This command sets the exceed, low, or high Random Early Detection (RED) slope position for the shared buffer average utilization value where the packet discard probability starts to increase above zero. The percent parameter is expressed as a percentage of the shared buffer size.
The no form of this command restores the start-avg value to the default setting. If the max-avg setting is smaller than the default, an error will occur and the start-avg setting will not be changed to the default.
start-avg 70 — High slope default is 70% buffer utilization before discard probability starts to increase above zero.
start-avg 50 — Low slope default is 50% buffer utilization before discard probability starts to increase above zero.
start-avg 30 — Exceed slope default is 30% buffer utilization before discard probability starts to increase above zero
This command displays slope policy information.
