Configuring Classification Using Port Trust States
This section describes how to classify incoming traffic by using port trust states:

Note Both the SI and EI support this feature.

Configuring the Trust State on Ports within the QoS Domain

Packets entering a QoS domain are classified at the edge of the QoS domain. When the packets are
classified at the edge, the switch port within the QoS domain can be configured to one of the trusted
states because there is no need to classify the packets at every switch within the QoS domain. Figure 29-4
shows a sample network topology.

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure the port to trust the classification
of the traffic that it receives:
