DSCP Color Map Commands
The DSCP color map allows you to set the number of specific DSCP values to yellow or red. Traffic
marked as yellow delivers traffic to the egress queue which will either transmit the packet if it has
available bandwidth or drop the packet due to no ability to send. Traffic marked as red (high drop
precedence) is dropped.
