Configuring Auto-QoS
You can use the auto-QoS feature to simplify the deployment of existing QoS features. Auto-QoS makes
assumptions about the network design, and as a result, the switch can prioritize different traffic flows
and appropriately use the ingress and egress queues instead of using the default QoS behavior. (The
default is that QoS is disabled. The switch then offers best-effort service to each packet, regardless of
the packet contents or size, and sends it from a single queue.)
When you enable auto-QoS, it automatically classifies traffic based on the traffic type and ingress packet
label. The switch uses the resulting classification to choose the appropriate egress queue.
You use auto-QoS commands to identify ports connected to Cisco IP Phones and to devices running the
Cisco SoftPhone application. You also use the commands to identify ports that receive trusted traffic
through an uplink. Auto-QoS then performs these functions:
• Detects the presence or absence of Cisco IP Phones
• Configures QoS classification
• Configures egress queues
These sections contain this configuration information:
• Generated Auto-QoS Configuration, page 32-18
• Effects of Auto-QoS on the Configuration, page 32-23
• Auto-QoS Configuration Guidelines, page 32-23
• Enabling Auto-QoS for VoIP, page 32-24
• Auto-QoS Configuration Example, page 32-25
Generated Auto-QoS Configuration
By default, auto-QoS is disabled on all ports.
When auto-QoS is enabled, it uses the ingress packet label to categorize traffic, to assign packet labels,
and to configure the ingress and egress queues as shown in
Table 32-2.
