Chapter 29 Configuring QoS
Auto-QoS Configuration Example
Auto-QoS Configuration Example
This section describes how you could implement auto-QoS in a network, as shown in
.
Figure 29-8 Auto-QoS Configuration Example Network
The intelligent wiring closets in
contain Catalyst 2950 switches running the enhanced
software image (EI) and Catalyst 3550 switches. The object of this example is to prioritize the VoIP
traffic over all other traffic. To do so, enable auto-QoS on the switches at the edge of the QoS domains
in the wiring closets.
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.
