Question 700
An enterprise network designer recommends: Use supported egress shaping at the appropriate hierarchy and rate. Which situation most clearly calls for this action?
Explanation
Correct Answer
This case requires the Shaper egress smoothing action. Buffered traffic can be scheduled to respect the desired output rate.
Incorrect Answers
This other case would be better matched to Tune supported scheduler buffer allocation for the affected output queue. The queue can absorb intended bursts within the physical and policy limits.
This other case would be better matched to Configure supported high-priority scheduler treatment with suitable rate controls for the voice class. Delay-sensitive packets can receive preferential transmission service within configured bounds.
This other case would be better matched to Inspect output queue drops, scheduler assignments and CoS statistics during congestion. The engineer can distinguish scheduling or queue-drop contention from physical interface errors.
