DiffServ –Six most significant bits of ToS byte are called DiffServ Code Point (DSCP). –DSCP is backward compatible with IP precedence. –Remaining two bits are used for flow control.

For scalability, classification should be done as close to the edge as possible. The outermost trusted devices represent the trust boundary. and are optimal; is acceptable (if the access switch cannot perform classification). 123

Application classification –Automatically discovers applications and provides appropriate QoS treatment Policy generation –Automatically generates initial and ongoing QoS policies Configuration –Provides high-level business knobs, and multi-device/domain automation for QoS Monitoring and reporting –Generates intelligent, automatic alerts and summary reports Consistency –Enables automatic, seamless interoperability among all QoS features and parameters across a network topology–LAN, MAN, and WAN

BCMSN v Configuring Cisco AutoQoS Single command at the interface level configures interface and global QoS. –Support for Cisco IP Phone and Cisco IP Communicator. Support for Cisco IP Communicator currently exists only on the Cisco Catalyst –Trust boundary is disabled when Cisco IP Phone is moved. –Buffer allocation and egress queuing are dependent on interface type (Gigabit Ethernet/Fast Ethernet). Supported on static, dynamic-access, voice VLAN access, and trunk ports. CDP must be enabled for Cisco AutoQoS to function properly.

BCMSN v Configuring Cisco AutoQoS: Cisco Catalyst OS (Cont.) trust dscp and trust cos are automatic QoS keywords used for ports requiring a trust all type of solution. trust dscp should be used only on ports that connect to other switches or known servers because the port will be trusting all inbound traffic marking Layer 3 (DSCP). trust cos should only be used on ports connecting other switches or known servers because the port trusts all inbound traffic marking in Layer 2 (CoS). The trusted boundary feature is disabled and no QoS policing is configured on these types of ports. set port qos autoqos trust [cos|dscp] Console> (enable)

QoS settings must be configured to trust the Layer 3 markings of the traffic that enters the port. Only available on Cisco Catalyst ciscoipphone The port is set up to use trust-cos as well as to enable the trusted boundary feature. Combined with the global automatic QoS command, all settings are configured on the switch to properly handle the signaling and voice bearer and PC data entering and leaving the port. CDP must be enabled for the ciscoipphone, QoS configuration. Note: IP Communicator is a softphone, which is an application running on a PC emulating a handset.

If the interface is connected to a Cisco IP Phone, the QoS labels of incoming packets are trusted only when the Cisco IP Phone is detected.

© 2006 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. BCMSN v Summary QoS can reduce latency in a campus network when VoIP is configured. QoS trust boundaries allow for LAN-based classification and marking. LAN-based classification and marking can be accomplished by a Cisco Catalyst workgroup switch. Configuration is necessary to implement trust boundaries when VoIP is incorporated. Specific commands are required when configuring QoS trust boundaries on a Cisco Catalyst switch. Cisco AutoQoS is a simple way to implement a trust boundary for VoIP. Configuration of Cisco AutoQoS is simple and supported on Cisco Catalyst switches.
