Step 6
DSCP Transparency Mode
To configure the switch to modify the DSCP value based on the trust setting or on an ACL by disabling DSCP
transparency, use the mls qos rewrite ip dscp global configuration command.
If you disable QoS by using the no mls qos global configuration command, the CoS and DSCP values are
not changed (the default QoS setting).
If you enter the no mls qos rewrite ip dscp global configuration command to enable DSCP transparency and
then enter the mls qos trust [cos | dscp] interface configuration command, DSCP transparency is still enabled.
