Important Points to Remember
• All DSCP values that are not specified as yellow or red are colored green.
• A DSCP value cannot be in both the yellow and red lists. Setting the red or yellow list with any DSCP value
that is already in the other list results in an error and no update to that list is made.
• Each color map can only have one list of DSCP values for each color; any DSCP values previously listed for
that color that are not in the new DSCP list are colored green.
Example
DellEMC(conf-dscp-color-map)# dscp yellow 9,10,11,13,15,16

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.
Example
DellEMC(conf)#qos dscp-color-map mymap
