Usage
Information
A color map outlines the codepoint mappings to the appropriate color mapping (green, yellow, red) for the
traffic. The system uses this information use to handle the traffic on the interface based on the traffic
priority and places it into the appropriate shaping queue. You cannot delete a DSCP color map when it is
configured on an interface. If you do, all the DSCP values are set to green (low drop precedence). To
delete the DSCP color map that is being used by one or more interfaces, remove the DSCP map from
each interface.
Use this command in Configuration Terminal Batch mode to configure the DSCP color map in a dual-
homing setup.
Example
Dell(conf)#qos dscp-color-map mymap
