Usage Guidelines
other QoS services such as Weighted Random Early Detection (WRED) can operate on the bit settings.
Discard-class indicates the discard portion of the per hop behavior (PHB). The set discard-class command
is typically used in Pipe mode. Discard-class is required when the input PHB marking is used to classify
packets on the output interface.
The set discard-class command is supported only in the ingress direction.Unconditional discard-class
marking is supported.
The discard-class values can be used to specify the type of traffic that is dropped when there is congestion.
Note 1. Marking of the discard class has only local significance on a node.
2. Discard class cannot be associated with a QoS profile in peering mode.

Examples
This example shows how to set the discard class value to 1 for packets that match the MPLS
experimental bits 1:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# class-map cust1
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-cmap)# match mpls experimental topmost 1
Discard class ID. An integer 0 to 1, to be marked on the packet.
