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.
dscp
Sets the number of specific DSCP values for a color map profile to yellow or red.
Syntax
dscp {yellow | red} [list-dscp-values]
To remove a color policy map profile, use the no dscp {yellow | red}
[dscp-list] command.
Parameters
Yellow Enter the yellow keyword. Traffic marked as yellow delivers
traffic to the egress queue which either transmits the packet
if it has available bandwidth or drops the packet due to no
ability to send.
Red Enter the red keyword. Traffic marked as red is dropped.
dscp-list Enter a list of IP DSCP values. The dscp-list parameter
specifies the full list of IP DSCP value(s) for the specified
color. Each DSCP value in a list is separate values by
commas – no spaces (1,2,3) or indicates a list of values
separated by a hyphen (1-3). Range is 0 to 63.
Defaults None
