QuestionQ16

Performance Optimization

ACME has an AOS-CX 6200 VSF switch stack with an uplink oversubscription ratio of 9.6:1. Its low-priority TCP traffic is marked with a yellow DSCP color.

Refer to the exhibit.

The company is considering adding two more nodes to the stack without adding uplinks because of existing wiring constraints. An architect has proposed this configuration:

What is the impact of applying the acmethreshold profile as shown?

Choose two
Explanation

The profile applies a WRED action to LAG1’s queue 5 for yellow responsive traffic. Responsive traffic is TCP, and WRED probabilistically drops the selected yellow packets as queue utilization rises from 40% to 80%, signaling congestion before the queue is exhausted. This preferential dropping helps preserve queue-5 voice traffic from congestion; protocols, TCP traffic, and queues outside that configured class and queue are not universally affected.
