Honoring The Incoming Dei Value; Marking Egress Packets With A Dei Value - Dell S4820T Configuration Manual

To enable drop eligibility globally, use the following command.
• Make packets eligible for dropping based on their DEI value.
CONFIGURATION mode
dei enable
By default, packets are colored green, and DEI is marked 0 on egress.

Honoring the Incoming DEI Value

To honor the incoming DEI value, you must explicitly map the DEI bit to an Dell Networking OS drop
precedence.
Precedence can have one of three colors.
Precedence Description
Green High-priority packets that are the least preferred to be dropped.
Yellow Lower-priority packets that are treated as best-effort.
Red Lowest-priority packets that are always dropped (regardless of congestion status).
• Honor the incoming DEI value by mapping it to an Dell Networking OS drop precedence.
INTERFACE mode
dei honor {0 | 1} {green | red | yellow}
You may enter the command once for 0 and once for 1.
Packets with an unmapped DEI value are colored green.
Example of Viewing DEI-Honoring Configuration
To display the DEI-honoring configuration, use the show interface dei-honor [interface slot/
port | linecard number port-set number] in EXEC Privilege mode.
