CCNP Practice Question: Drag and drop the steps of WRED configuration for…
Drag and drop the steps of WRED configuration for TCP congestion avoidance into the correct order, from first to last.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
Define class map matching TCP traffic
The correct order for WRED configuration is: first define a class map matching TCP traffic (B), then create a policy map with the random-detect command (C), apply the service policy to an interface (D), and verify with show policy-map interface (E). Option A is a distractor; WRED is not enabled globally but per class under a policy map using the 'random-detect' command.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Enable WRED globally with random-detect
Why it's wrong here
This step is a distractor. WRED is not enabled globally; it is configured per class under a policy map using the 'random-detect' command. Therefore, this step should not be placed in the correct order.
- ✓
Define class map matching TCP traffic
Why this is correct
First, define a class map that matches TCP traffic to identify the traffic to which WRED will be applied.
- ✓
Create policy map with random-detect command
Why this is correct
Second, create or modify a policy map and use the 'random-detect' command under the class configured for TCP traffic to enable WRED.
- ✓
Apply service policy to interface
Why this is correct
Third, apply the service policy (which contains the policy map with WRED) to the desired interface in the appropriate direction.
- ✓
Verify with show policy-map interface
Why this is correct
Finally, verify the configuration using the 'show policy-map interface' command to confirm that WRED is operational.
