How to Configure Auto-QoS
commands are successfully applied, any user-entered configuration that was not overridden remains in
the running configuration. Any user-entered configuration that was overridden can be retrieved by
reloading the switch without saving the current configuration to memory. If the generated commands fail
to be applied, the previous running configuration is restored.
To display the QoS commands that are automatically generated when auto-QoS is enabled or disabled,
enter the debug auto qos privileged EXEC command before enabling auto-QoS. For more information,
see the debug autoqos command in the command reference for this release.
To disable auto-QoS on a port, use the no auto qos voip interface configuration command. Only the
auto-QoS-generated interface configuration commands for this port are removed. If this is the last port
on which auto-QoS is enabled and you enter the no auto qos voip command, auto-QoS is considered
disabled even though the auto-QoS-generated global configuration commands remain (to avoid
disrupting traffic on other ports affected by the global configuration).
You can use the no mls qos global configuration command to disable the auto-QoS-generated global
configuration commands. With QoS disabled, there is no concept of trusted or untru sted ports because
the packets are not modified (the CoS, DSCP, and IP precedence values in the packet are not changed).
Traffic is switched in pass-through mode (packets are switched without any rewrites and classified as
best effort without any policing).
How to Configure Auto-QoS

Enabling Auto-QoS for VoIP

Command Purpose
Step 1 configure terminal Enters global configuration mode.
Step 2 interface interface-id Specifies the port that is connected to a Cisco IP phone, the port that
is connected to a device running the Cisco SoftPhone feature, or the
uplink port that is connected to another trusted switch or router in the
interior of the network, and enter interface configuration mode.
Step 3 auto qos voip {cisco-phone |
cisco-softphone | trust}
Enables auto-QoS.
cisco-phone—Specifies the port is connected to a Cisco IP
phone, the QoS labels of incoming packets are trusted only when
the telephone is detected.
cisco-softphone—Specifies the port is connected to a device
running the Cisco SoftPhone feature.
trust—Specifies the uplink port is connected to a trusted switch
or router, and the VoIP traffic classification in the ingress packet
is trusted.
Step 4 end Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
