Enabling Pass-Through Mode

The switch assigns a CoS value of 0 to all incoming packets without modifying the packets. The switch
offers best-effort service to each packet regardless of the packet contents or size and sends it from a
single egress queue.

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to enable pass-through mode:

To disable pass-through mode, use the no mls qos trust pass-through dscp interface configuration
command.

If you enter the mls qos cos override and the mls qos trust [cos | dscp] interface commands when
pass-through mode is enabled, pass-through mode is disabled.

If you enter the mls qos trust cos pass-through dscp interface configuration command when the mls
qos cos override
and the mls qos trust [cos | dscp] interface commands are already configured,
pass-through mode is disabled.

The port trusts the CoS value
of the incoming packet.

The packet CoS value is assigned
the default CoS value.

The port trusts the DSCP
value of the incoming packet.

The packet DSCP value is trusted.

For tagged non-IP packets, the
packet CoS value is set to 0.

For untagged non-IP packets, the
packet CoS value is assigned the
default CoS value.

The port assigns the default

Command

Purpose

Step 1

configure terminal

Enter global configuration mode.

Step 2

interface interface-id

Specify the interface on which pass-through mode is enabled, and enter
interface configuration mode.

Valid interfaces include physical interfaces.

Step 3

mls qos trust cos pass-through dscp

Enable pass-through mode. The interface is configured to trust the CoS
value of the incoming packets and to send them without modifying the
DSCP value.

Step 4

end

Return to privileged EXEC mode.

Step 5

show mls qos interface [interface-id] Verify your entries.

Step 6
