Chapter 53 Using Automatic QoS
Using the Automatic QoS Macro on the Switch
Port-Specific Automatic QoS Macro
The port-specific automatic QoS macro handles all inbound QoS configuration that is specific to a
particular traffic type. The support is implemented for
ciscoipphone
,
ciscosoftphone
, and
trust
. See the
“CLI Interface for Automatic QoS” section on page 53-13
for the associated CLI commands.
The QoS ingress port-specific settings include port trust, default CoS, classification, and policing but do
not include scheduling. The input scheduling is programmed through the global automatic QoS macro.
Together with the global automatic QoS macro command, all QoS settings are configured properly for a
specific QoS traffic type.
The existing QoS ACLs that are already associated with a port are removed when the ACL mappings
change. The ACL names and instances are not changed.
These sections describe the port-specific automatic QoS macro:

Port-Specific Automatic QoS Settings
—
ciscoipphone
Use the
ciscoipphone
keyword to set the port to trust-cos and to enable trusted boundary. Combined with
the global automatic QoS command, all settings are configured on the switch to properly handle the
signaling, voice bearer, and PC data entering and leaving the port.
In addition to the switch-side QoS settings that are covered by the global automatic QoS command, the
phone has a few QoS features that you need to configure for proper labeling to occur. The QoS
configuration information is sent to the phone through CDP from the switch. The QoS values that need
to be configured are the trust setting of the “PC port” on the phone (trust or untrusted) and the CoS value
that is used by the phone to remark the packets in case the port is untrusted (ext-cos).
AVVID recommends an untrusted and cos-ext value of 0. The PC traffic that enters the switch is marked
with CoS 0 by the phone, the voice bearer traffic that is generated by the phone is always labeled with
CoS 5, and the signaling is labeled with CoS 3.
Table 53-7
lists the port-specific settings that are implemented after executing the automatic QoS
ciscoipphone
macro on a port. See the
“Port-Specific Automatic QoS—voip ciscoipphone” section on
page 53-21
for detailed configuration examples.
Note
You must enable CDP version 2 for trusted boundary to work. If CDP version 2 is not enabled, a
syslog message displays. See the
“CDP Warning” section on page 53-24
