VLAN Stacking Packet Drop Precedence
VLAN stacking packet-drop precedence is supported on the switch.
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 88. 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.
CONFIGURATION mode
dei enable
By default, packets are colored green, and DEI is marked 0 on egress.
Honoring the Incoming DEI Value
To honor the incoming DEI value, you must explicitly map the DEI bit to an Dell EMC Networking OS drop precedence.
Precedence can have one of three colors.
Precedence
Description
Green High-priority packets that are the least preferred to be dropped.
Yellow Lower-priority packets that are treated as best-effort.
Red Lowest-priority packets that are always dropped (regardless of congestion status).
• Honor the incoming DEI value by mapping it to an Dell EMC Networking OS drop precedence.
