Configuring Standard QoS
Before configuring standard QoS, you must have a thorough understanding of these items:
• The types of applications used and the traffic patterns on your network.
• Traffic characteristics and needs of your network. Is the traffic bursty? Do you need to reserve
bandwidth for voice and video streams?
• Bandwidth requirements and speed of the network.
• Location of congestion points in the network.
These sections describe how to configure standard QoS on your switch:
• Default Standard QoS Configuration, page 29-25
• Standard QoS Configuration Guidelines, page 29-26
• Enabling QoS Globally, page 29-28
• Configuring Classification By Using Port Trust States, page 29-29
• Configuring a QoS Policy, page 29-35
• Configuring DSCP Maps, page 29-51
• Configuring Egress Queues on Gigabit-Capable Ethernet Ports, page 29-57
• Configuring Egress Queues on 10/100 Ethernet Ports, page 29-64
Default Standard QoS Configuration
Table 29-4 shows the default standard QoS configuration when QoS is disabled.
When QoS is disabled, there is no concept of trusted or untrusted ports because the packets are not
modified (the CoS, DSCP, and IP precedence values in the packet are not changed).
Table 29-5 shows the default standard QoS configuration without any further configuration when QoS
is enabled.
