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 36-11

.

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-config
privileged 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
startup-config

Save the auto qos voip interface configuration commands and the
generated auto-QoS configuration in the configuration file.
