Chapter 36 Configuring QoS

Configuring Auto-QoS

Note

You should not configure any standard QoS commands before entering the auto-QoS commands. You

 

can fine-tune the QoS configuration, but we recommend that you do so only after the auto-QoS

 

configuration is completed.

 

 

 

 

 

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure the switch at the edge of the QoS

 

domain to prioritize the VoIP traffic over all other traffic:

 

 

 

 

Command

Purpose

Step 1

 

 

debug auto qos

Enable debugging for auto-QoS. When debugging is enabled, the

 

 

switch displays the QoS configuration that is automatically

 

 

generated when auto-QoS is enabled.

Step 2

 

 

configure terminal

Enter global configuration mode.

Step 3

 

 

cdp enable

Enable CDP globally. By default, it is enabled.

Step 4

 

 

interface interface-id

Specify the switch port connected to the Cisco IP Phone, and enter

 

 

interface configuration mode.

Step 5

 

 

auto qos voip cisco-phone

Enable auto-QoS on the port, and specify that the port is connected

 

 

to a Cisco IP Phone.

 

 

The QoS labels of incoming packets are trusted only when the

 

 

Cisco IP Phone is detected.

Step 6

 

 

exit

Return to global configuration mode.

Step 7

 

 

 

Repeat Steps 4 to 6 for as many ports as are connected to the Cisco

 

 

IP Phone.

Step 8

 

 

interface interface-id

Specify the switch port identified as connected to a trusted switch

 

 

or router, and enter interface configuration mode. See

 

 

Figure 36-14.

Step 9

 

 

auto qos voip trust

Enable auto-QoS on the port, and specify that the port is connected

 

 

to a trusted router or switch.

Step 10

 

 

end

Return to privileged EXEC mode.

Step 11

 

 

show auto qos

Verify your entries.

 

 

This command displays the auto-QoS command on the interface

 

 

on which auto-QoS was enabled. You can use the show

 

 

running-configprivileged EXEC command to display the

 

 

auto-QoS configuration and the user modifications.

 

 

For information about the QoS configuration that might be

 

 

affected by auto-QoS, see the “Displaying Auto-QoS Information”

 

 

section on page 26-12.

Step 12

 

 

copy running-config

Save the auto qos voip interface configuration commands and the

 

startup-config

generated auto-QoS configuration in the configuration file.
