You can configure RED so that packets are dropped without regard to color. To do so, you combine a drop profile that has a committed threshold configured with a queue profile that specifies the same queue length for committed, conformed, and exceeded packets, as shown in Figure 3.
Figure 3: Color-Blind RED Drop Profile with Colorless Queue Profile
In the following example, the drop profile and queue profile combine to specify the following:
- host1(config)#drop-profile nocolor
- host1(config-drop-profile)#c ommitted-threshold percent 30 90 5
- host1(config-drop-profile)#exit
- host1(config)#queue-profile colorless
- host1(config-queue)#committed-length 100000
100000
- host1(config-queue)#conformed-fraction 100
- host1(config-queue)#exceeded-fraction 100
To achieve the same drop treatment for each color, you can specify color-blind RED in combination with a color-sensitive queue profile, as shown in Figure 4.
Figure 4: Color-Blind RED Drop Profile with Color-Sensitive Queue Profile
In the following example, the drop profile and queue profile combine to specify the following:
- host1(config)#drop-profile colorblindRed
- host1(config-drop-profile)#committed-threshold
percent 30 90 5
- host1(config-drop-profile)#exit
- host1(config)#queue-profile colorSensitive
- host1(config-queue)#committed-length 100000
100000
