Automatic QoS Overview
The automatic QoS macro is divided into these two separate components:
•
Global automatic QoS command (
set qos auto
)—Deals with all switch-wide related QoS settings
that are not specific to any given interface. These settings include CoS-to-queue maps,
CoS-to-DSCP maps, and WRED settings for specific port types and global mappings.
•
Port-specific automatic QoS command (
set port qos
mod/port
autoqos
)—Configures all inbound
QoS parameters for a particular port to reflect the desired traffic type (voice, video, and
applications).
Tip
To ensure that automatic QoS works properly, you should execute both components.

Configuration Files
Creating the commands (macros) that implement other commands can lead to conflicting commands. For
example, if you configure a CoS-to-queue map with a certain setting and then enable the automatic QoS
macro feature, the macro that you enabled will alter the CoS-to-queue map.
