A company has a network that includes HP 5800 and 12500 switches. Usage demands on the company’s FTP
servers have increased, causing performance issues during peak usage times. While analyzing link utilization,
the network administrator noticed that the most heavily utilized links experience bursts of congestion, causing
them to drop traffic. The links then experience brief periods of low utilization followed by another burst of
congestion. This pattern continues periodically throughout the peak utilization time. What should the network
administrator do to attempt to create a more efficient traffic pattern on these links?

A.
Configure an outbound traffic policing policy on the ports in question, setting the CIR at about sixty percent
of the ports’ capacity and the PIR at about eighty percent.

B.
Apply Weighted Fair Queuing (WFQ) or Weighted Round Robin (WRR) scheduling in preference to Strict
Priority (SP) scheduling on the ports in question.

C.
Configure inbound traffic policing policies on ports at the core, setting the CIR at about sixty percent of the
ports’ capacity and the PIR at about eighty percent. Apply outbound generic traffic shaping (GTS) on ports
facing the core ports, setting the CIR equal to theCIR on the core ports.

D.
Apply a WRED table to the ports in question, optionally adjusting the table values to drop lower priority
traffic first.

Explanation:
Use WRED to reduce tail drop traffic pattern
