Quality of Service
QoS ACLs can also include Layer 4 information for classifying individual
applications. Cisco Catalyst 6000 family switches are also capable of policing
traffic based on Layer 3 addresses and Layer 4 port numbers. For example, you
can police individual HTTP flows to 1 Mbps and aggregate all HTTP flows to
25 Mbps.
The following are important points in regard to QoS functionality on the
Cisco Catalyst 6000 family switches:
• By default, QoS is not enabled. Use set qos enable to enable QoS on the
switch.
• By default, ports are not trusted. Use the following command to enable trust
on a port:
set port qos mod/ports.. trust {untrusted | trust-cos | trust-ipprec |
trust-dscp}
• QoS configurations can be applied on a per-port basis or on a per-VLAN
basis. This works very well for IP telephony implementations where phones
are on a separate VLAN, as described in the “IP Addressing and
Management” section on page 2-21.
• By default, Cisco Catalyst 6000 family switches map CoS to ToS when the
port is trusted or by using QoS ACLs.
Tips If the trust boundary happens to be on a wiring closet switch that is
not capable of reclassifying at Layer 3, you can shrink the trust
boundary to the distribution layer where a Layer 3 capable device is
more likely to be present.
