qos port dei
Configures the Drop Eligible Indicator (DEI) bit mapping and marking setting for the specified QoS port.
The DEI setting applies to packets marked yellow (non-conforming) as the result of Tri-Color Marking
(TCM) rate limiting.
qos port slot/port dei {ingress | egress}
qos port slot/port no dei {ingress | egress}
Syntax Definitions
slot/port
ingress
egress
Defaults
By default, no DEI/CFI bit mapping or marking is done.
Platforms Supported
OmniSwitch 6400, 6850, 6850E, 6855, 9000E
Usage Guidelines
•
Use the no form of this command to disable the DEI bit mapping (ingress) or marking (egress) configu-
ration for the specified port
•
Use the qos dei command to set the global DEI bit mapping and marking configuration for all QoS
switch ports. Note that the port-level setting takes precedence over the global DEI setting.
•
Packets marked yellow by TCM rate limiting are still transmitted when there is no congestion on the
egress port queues. Setting the DEI/CFI bit for yellow egress packets (qos port dei egress) ensures that
an upstream switch is made aware that the packet was marked yellow.
•
When a switch receives a yellow packet with the DEI/CFI bit set and ingress DEI/CFI bit mapping is
enabled (qos port dei ingress), the packet is mapped to an internal drop precedence or yellow color
marking for the switch.
Examples
-> qos port 1/10 dei ingress
-> qos port 1/20 dei egress
-> qos port 1/10 no dei ingress
-> qos port 1/20 no dei egress
Release History
Release 6.4.3; command was introduced.

The slot number and port number of the physical port.
Maps the DEI/CFI bit to yellow (non-conforming) if this bit is set for
ingress packets.
Sets the DEI/CFI bit for egress packets if TCM marked the packets
yellow.
