Auto QoS Voip Trust question

Hello,
I am a little confused on the auto qos voip trust command. I am reading that it should be used on interior switchports like trunk ports connected to another switch. I guess my question is this: If the auto qos voip command tells the switchport to trust the incoming CoS values, then isnt it redundant to tell the port to "trust" the incoming CoS value when the auto qos voip command is already accomplishing this? Or does this have something to do with trusting DSCP values instead of CoS values? If so, why are we trusting DSCP values at the uplinks and not CoS values coming from the IP Phone? Im so confused. Thanks for any light you can shed on this topic.
Chris.

Yes, the trust value used for "auto qos voip trust" depends on the operation of the port as you say.
And yes when you use the "cisco-phone" option it will trust the values but as you say only if it detects a Cisco IP phone and it does this by using CDP. 
What is not entirely clear, at least to me, is exactly which markings the "cisco-phone" option trusts. There seems to be conflicting information but the configuration guide talk about DSCP markings so it may be those but i can't say for sure as i have limited experience in that area.

  • Question about "Auto Qos Voip Trust" on 3560X

    Hi,
    I applied command "auto qos voip trust" to the uplink interface.
    But I found that the interface shown command "auto qos trust" was applied when i show running-config.
    Could the command "auto qos voip trust" show in the configuration after i applied?
    If not, how can i check the interface that applied "auto qos voip trust"? Thanks!
    James Lai

    No.
    After i aplied "auto qos voip trust" to the interface Gi1/1
    When i show running-config, that shown asa below:
    interface GigabitEthernet1/1
    srr-queue bandwidth share 1 30 35 5
    priority-queue out
    mls qos trust cos
    auto qos trust
    I found that the interface configured as auto qos trust but not auto qos voip trust.
    Is the command "auto qos voip trust" no applied to the interface Gi1/1?
    How can i apply auto qos voip trust to the interface? Thanks!

  • Auto qos voip trust is not supprting my cisco router1800

    Please some one help me..
    when i am applying 
    Router(config)# interface FastEthernet0/0
    Router(config-if)# auto qos voip trust
    it is giving this message 
    % Invalid input detected at '^' marker.
    thats mean i can't apply auto qos voip trust  command .. why is it so ?? 

    Hello.
    auto qos requires smart L2 interfaces.
    In your case, I assume, it's the L3 interface.

  • 3850 - auto qos voip cisco-phone

    I am having an issue where it appears that the "auto qos voip cisco-phone" command is marking down my voice packets COS and DSCP values to 0.  Anyone else notice this?  I am connecting Cisco 7945 phone to the interfaces with this command applied to the interface.  I verified that the IP Phone is sending COS = 5 and DSCP = ef to the switchport.  I verified the packets inbound to the switchport and the packets outbound as they transit to the destination IP Phone's switchport.

    Hi joshua,
    What is the IOS-XE version you are running on your 3850 ?
    Post your switchport configuration (7945 phone connected)
    Here is 3.3 QoS config guide & I noticed it says something like below qouted. So make sure this trust device command is there & your port is configured for standard VoIP port connectivity.(like voice vlan, etc)
    http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/lan/catalyst3850/software/release/3se/consolidated_guide/configuration_guide/b_consolidated_3850_3se_cg/b_consolidated_3850_3se_cg_chapter_01101000.html#reference_8A1C35AB2874498F90C4F5600301BE9D
    "The trust device device_type interface configuration command is only supported in an auto-QoS configuration, and not as a stand-alone command on the switch. When using the trust device device_type interface configuration command in an auto-QoS configuration, if the connected peer device is not a corresponding device (defined as a device matching your trust policy), both CoS and DSCP values are set to "0" and any input policy will not take effect"

  • Cisco 2960x - auto qos voip cisco-phone on access ports

    After configuring "auto qos voip cisco-phone" on a stack of 2960x switches, we later noticed that after a power cycle (config was saved first) it went missing when doing a "show run" from the interface configs, on one of the switches (g1/0/1-48 had it applied, then after power cycle it didn't show).  However, doing a "show auto qos interface" shows it is still applied to all interfaces g10/1-48. 
    I try to do "auto qos voip cisco-phone" again on g1/0/1-48, and it shows this:
    SwitchStack01(config-if-range)#auto qos voip cisco-phone
    AutoQoS Error: AutoQoS already configured
    % Range command terminated because it failed on GigabitEthernet1/0/1
    If I attempt to remove "auto qos voip cisco-phone", it shows this:
    SwitchStack01(config-if-range)#no auto qos voip cisco-phone
    AutoQoS Error: AutoQoS not configured
    % Range command terminated because it failed on GigabitEthernet1/0/1
    When I do a "show run", it is no longer displayed for the first switch of the stack.So is it still applied to the interfaces or not?   Is this a bug?  Has anyone else experienced this?  This has happened to at least a couple stacks of 2960x's we have. 
    Thanks!

    It appears to be a bug in the code.  Open a TAC ticket with Cisco and send them the output and the IOS version you are using so they can help you resolve the issue.   Most likely, they recommend an upgrade.

  • Auto qos voip cisco-phone

    Hello,
    I am very new to voip, second day.  I have configured a 3850 stack to trust cisco phones on the switchports with the auto qos feature. I am interested to know where else I have to apply qos for the policy's to apply. The 3850 stack is uplinked to a 4500x "core". My question is once the qos is applied at the switch port, is everything just grand and my qos will work or does it have to be applied elsewhere.
    Thank you.
    Dallas

    It has to be applied all throughout your network. Ie Core switch, access layer, uplinks to voice servers/gateways and access ports to phones. If you have wireless phones, those will have to be considered as well.

  • 6503-E VSS QoS enable trust

    Hi
    I have a VSS pair of 6503-E switches I suspect that any VoIP traffic downstream is having their dscp/cos values re-written to 0.
    Cannot find any documentation to enable trusts and cannot enter known commands.
    I understand that this is default behaviour.
    Any information appreciated.

    Hello.
    I doubt if "auto qos voip trust" would suit you on inter-switch links, as per documentation the command applies policy-map that gives only 320K for voice and signalling traffic (+ remarking exceeded traffic to BE).
    If you want to protect your video traffic in the future, you will have to design new QoS policy and apply it per link.
    Regarding "trust dscp" toward WLC/AP - if you configure this, all your laptops will be able to inject marked traffic into your network, abusing your QoS policy; that is why the best practice for VoIP phones is to be placed into dedicated voice VLAN + trust cos (not dscp).
    PS: I would suggest you to try the command[s] on one switch and see what configuration will be applied per port (+global).

    Hi Reza!!! Thanks for your reply.
    I've looked on the net and found this blog http://blog.lah.io/2013/10/cisco-catalyst-4500-x-etherchannel-auto.html and thought that there is something wrong with my IOS, like a missing license.
    I will read your guide and try to configure like that but you must agree that auto qos is far more easy and reliable. Strange that the guy on the blog can configure auto qos...

    He is implementing ToIP. The topology is structured in the collapsed model where switches etherchannel uplinks have access to 2Gb Core. 
    On all access switches the "auto qos trust" for uplinks and the "auto qos trust cisco-phone" to access ports was implemented. In Core would have to disassemble the PortChannel, apply auto qos trust in the PortChannel interfaces and ride again. 
    The doubt is that setting the 4507R + E accepts the QoS on the doors of the Port Channel?

    Hi,
     In this case as you pointed out, Auto-QoS is not supported on EtherChannel or its member ports. A physical port configured with Auto-QoS is not allowed to become a member of a physical port.
    See the link below where you can find details about QOS on etherchannel:

  • C3560G - SNMP MIB Support for QOS Port Trust

    I've been digging through Cisco's SNMP Object Navigator without any luck, so I'm turning to the masses to see if someone has an answer.
    I'd like to know if there is a supported MIB on the C3560G platform (for any IOS version) that will report the QOS port trust state on a given switchport. Although not necessary for my current needs, it would be nice if there was a way to report the other fields produced by the "show mls qos interface" IOS command.
    Thanks!
    -- John

    Vinod,
    Thank you for your response. I was already aware of the CISCO-PORT-QOS-MIB (supported by the 3560G) and CISCO-SWITCH-QOS-MIB (not supported by the 3560G) MIBs. After reviewing the CISCO-CLASS-BASED-QOS-MIB (supported by the 3560G), I see no specific OID that would retrieve the information I require as it mainly pertains to the MQC.
    I found two OIDs that appear to represent the data I'm trying to collect. The first one is csqIfTrustState from the CISCO-SWITCH-QOS-MIB. Unfortunately this appears to be supported only on the 6500/7600 devices. The second one is caqIfOperTrustState from the CISCO-CATOS-ACL-QOS-MIB, which is a legacy MIB for the old CATOS software.
    Please let me know if I overlooked a specific OID from the MIBs you pointed out or if there are any alternatives you can think of. Thanks!

  • Auto QoS parameters on 2950

    I have been looking at the way auto-qos behaves on a 2950 switch. Now, it used to be that the weightings given to the four WRR queues was 20 1 80 0. This made sense to me because it made a strict priority out of queue 4, which is the one that will get all my DSCP EF (i.e. voice) traffic.
    I did this on a switch with version 12.1(22)EA4, and I see that the default weightings are now 10 20 70 1. This does not seem to make sense to me at all, and looks like the worst possible combination for voice. It is giving the least weighting to queue 4, which is the one carrying the voice traffic.
    Is this a bug, or is there some reasoning behind it?
    Kevin Dorrell

    Kevin
    This is a recent change in auto-qos on the 2950 from 20 1 80 0 to this 10 20 70 1. The reasoning is to get away from strict-priority queueing as it allows for starvation. In older code it still show 0 but new codes now show 1.
    On the 2950 switches, This is done by design not to have a strict priority queue starve the other queues out. So this is expected behavior not to have a strict priority queue in newer versions of code when you use Auto QoS.
    It is advisable not to give "strict" priority to any queue in order to prevent other queues from getting starved. On 2950, the wrr CLI allows weights of 1 - 255, and the weight of 0 is not configured (which would keep the queue in strict priority). One of the reason is that 2950 does not have features such as shaping. So, it is safer to keep the queues in round robin, and the number of buffers are controlled.
    At this point it would probably be best to play with the weights to determine if the defaults work for your network. If the Auto QoS defaults do not work for your network you can always have the option to manually configure the CLI as you want.
    Hope this helps.
