VLAN Stacking Packet Drop Precedence
The drop eligible indicator (DEI) bit in the S-Tag indicates to a service provider bridge which packets it
should prefer to drop when congested.
Enabling Drop Eligibility
Enable drop eligibility globally before you can honor or mark the DEI value.
When you enable drop eligibility, DEI mapping or marking takes place according to the defaults. In this
case, the CFI is affected according to the following table.
Table 63. Drop Eligibility Behavior
Ingress Egress DEI Disabled DEI Enabled
Normal Port Normal Port Retain CFI Set CFI to 0.
Trunk Port Trunk Port Retain inner tag CFI Retain inner tag CFI.
Retain outer tag CFI Set outer tag CFI to 0.
Access Port Trunk Port Retain inner tag CFI Retain inner tag CFI
Set outer tag CFI to 0 Set outer tag CFI to 0
To enable drop eligibility globally, use the following command.
• Make packets eligible for dropping based on their DEI value.
