On the process of configuring QoS for Nexus I have come across both commands which "seem" to describe the same action.
While looking into this further, it explains one can be used to mark traffic - but this can be achieved by both.

"Exceed - Sets the action to take when the data rate is exceeded. The default is drop."
"Violate - Sets the action to take when the data rate violates the configured rate values. The default is drop."
Anybody have any experience with these commands and where they should be used?
Thank you.
John.
