    Monitoring CoS Drop Profiles

    Purpose

    Use the monitoring functionality to view data point information for each CoS random early detection (RED) drop profile on the EX8200 switch.

    Action

    To monitor CoS RED drop profiles in the J-Web interface, select Monitor > Class of Service > RED Drop Profiles.

    To monitor CoS RED drop profiles in the CLI, enter the following CLI command:

    show class-of-service drop-profile

    Meaning

    Table 1 summarizes the key output fields for CoS RED drop profiles.

    FieldValuesAdditional Information

    RED Drop Profile Name

    Name of the RED drop profile.

    A drop profile consists of pairs of values between 0 and 100, one for queue buffer fill level and the other for drop probability, that determine the relationship between a buffer's fullness and the likelihood it will drop packets.

    To display profile values, click the plus sign (+).

    Graph RED Profile

    Links to a graph of a RED curve that the system uses to determine the drop probability based on queue buffer fullness.

    The x axis represents the queue buffer fill level, and the y axis represents the drop probability.

    Type

    Type of a specific drop profile:

    • interpolated—The two coordinates (x and y) of the graph are interpolated to produce a smooth profile.
    • segmented—The two coordinates (x and y) of the graph are represented by line fragments to produce a segmented profile.

    Index

    Internal index of this drop profile.

    Fill Level

    Percentage fullness of a buffer queue. This value is the x coordinate of the RED drop profile graph.

    Drop Probability

    Drop probability of a packet corresponding to a specific queue buffer fill level. This value is the y coordinate of the RED drop profile graph.
