Prerequisites for Auto-QoS

Before configuring standard QoS or auto-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.

Auto-QoS VoIP Considerations

Before configuring auto-QoS for VoIP, you should be aware of this information:

  • Auto-QoS configures the switch for VoIP with Cisco IP Phones on nonrouted and routed ports. Auto-QoS also configures the switch for VoIP with devices running the Cisco SoftPhone application.


    Note

    When a device running Cisco SoftPhone is connected to a nonrouted or routed port, the switch supports only one Cisco SoftPhone application per port.


  • When enabling auto-QoS with a Cisco IP Phone on a routed port, you must assign a static IP address to the IP phone.

  • This release supports only Cisco IP SoftPhone Version 1.3(3) or later.

  • Connected devices must use Cisco Call Manager Version 4 or later.

Auto-QoS Enhanced Considerations

Auto-QoS is enhanced to support video. Automatic configurations are generated that classify and trust traffic from Cisco TelePresence systems and Cisco IP cameras.

Before configuring auto-QoS enhanced, you should be aware of this information:

  • The auto qos srnd4 global configuration command is generated as a result of enhanced auto-QoS configuration.

Restrictions for Auto-QoS

The following are restrictions for automatic QoS (auto-QoS):

  • Auto-QoS (and enhanced auto-QoS) is not supported on switches running the LAN Lite image.

  • After auto-QoS is enabled, do not modify a policy map or aggregate policer that includes AutoQoS in its name. If you need to modify the policy map or aggregate policer, make a copy of it, and change the copied policy map or policer. To use this new policy map instead of the generated one, remove the generated policy map from the interface, and apply the new policy map to the interface.

  • To take advantage of the auto-QoS defaults, you should enable auto-QoS before you configure other QoS commands. If necessary, you can fine-tune the QoS configuration, but we recommend that you do so only after the auto-QoS configuration is completed.

  • By default, the CDP is enabled on all ports. For auto-QoS to function properly, do not disable CDP.


Note

You can enable auto-QoS on static, dynamic-access, voice VLAN access, and trunk ports.


Information About Configuring Auto-QoS

Auto-QoS Overview

You can use the auto-QoS feature to simplify the deployment of QoS features. Auto-QoS determines the network design and enables QoS configurations so that the switch can prioritize different traffic flows. It uses the ingress and egress queues instead of using the default (disabled) QoS behavior. The switch 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 classification results to choose the appropriate egress queue.

You can use auto-QoS commands to identify ports connected to the following Cisco devices:

  • Cisco IP Phones

  • Devices running the Cisco SoftPhone application

  • Cisco TelePresence

  • Cisco IP Camera

  • Cisco digital media player

You also use the auto-QoS commands to identify ports that receive trusted traffic through an uplink. Auto-QoS then performs these functions:

  • Detects the presence or absence of auto-QoS devices through conditional trusted interfaces.

  • Configures QoS classification

  • Configures egress queues

Generated Auto-QoS Configuration

By default, auto-QoS is disabled on all ports. Packets are not modified--the CoS, DSCP and IP precedence values in the packet are not changed.

When you enable the auto-QoS feature on the first port of the interface:

  • Ingress packet label is used to categorize traffic, to assign packet labels, and to configure the ingress and egress queues.

  • QoS is globally enabled (mls qos global configuration command), and other global configuration commands are automatically generated. (See Examples: Global Auto-QoS Configuration).

  • Switch enables the trusted boundary feature and uses the Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) to detect the presence of a supported device.

  • Policing is used to determine whether a packet is in or out of profile and specifies the action on the packet.

VoIP Device Specifics

The following actions occur when you issue these auto-QoS commands on a port:

  • auto qos voip cisco-phone —When you enter this command on a port at the network edge connected to a Cisco IP Phone, the switch enables the trusted boundary feature. If the packet does not have a DSCP value of 24, 26, or 46 or is out of profile, the switch changes the DSCP value to 0. When there is no Cisco IP Phone, the ingress classification is set to not trust the QoS label in the packet. The policing is applied to the traffic matching the policy-map classification before the switch enables the trust boundary feature.

  • auto qos voip cisco-softphone —When you enter this interface configuration command on a port at the network edge that is connected to a device running the Cisco SoftPhone, the switch uses policing to determine whether a packet is in or out of profile and to specify the action on the packet. If the packet does not have a DSCP value of 24, 26, or 46 or is out of profile, the switch changes the DSCP value to 0.

  • auto qos voip trust —When you enter this interface configuration command on a port connected to the network interior, the switch trusts the CoS value for nonrouted ports or the DSCP value for routed ports in ingress packets (the assumption is that traffic has already been classified by other edge devices).

The switch configures egress queues on the port according to the settings in the following tables.

  • When you enable auto-QoS by using the auto qos voip cisco-phone , the auto qos voip cisco-softphone , or the auto qos voip trust interface configuration command, the switch automatically generates a QoS configuration based on the traffic type and ingress packet label and applies the commands listed in Examples: Global Auto-QoS Configuration to the port.

Effects of Auto-QoS on Running Configuration

When auto-QoS is enabled, the auto qos interface configuration commands and the generated global configuration are added to the running configuration.

The switch applies the auto-QoS-generated commands as if the commands were entered from the CLI. An existing user configuration can cause the application of the generated commands to fail or to be overridden by the generated commands. These actions may occur without warning. If all the generated commands are successfully applied, any user-entered configuration that was not overridden remains in the running configuration. Any user-entered configuration that was overridden can be retrieved by reloading the switch without saving the current configuration to memory. If the generated commands are not applied, the previous running configuration is restored.

How to Configure Auto-QoS

    • auto qos trust {cos | dscp}
  4. exit
  5. interface interface-id
  6. auto qos trust
  7. end
  8. show auto qos interface interface-id

DETAILED STEPS

  Command or Action Purpose
Step 1

configure terminal

Example:


Switch# configure terminal

Enters global configuration mode.

Step 2

interface interface-id

Example:


Switch(config)# interface 
gigabitethernet 3/0/1

Specifies the port that is connected to a video device or the uplink port that is connected to another trusted switch or router in the network interior, and enters interface configuration mode.

Step 3

Use one of the following:

Enables auto-QoS for VoIP.

  • cisco-phone —If the port is connected to a Cisco IP Phone, the QoS labels of incoming packets are trusted only when the telephone is detected.

  • cisco-softphone —The port is connected to device running the Cisco SoftPhone feature.

  • trust —The uplink port is connected to a trusted switch or router, and the VoIP traffic classification in the ingress packet is trusted.

Enables auto-QoS for a video device.

  • cts —A port connected to a Cisco Telepresence system.

  • ip-camera —A port connected to a Cisco video surveillance camera.

  • media-player —A port connected to a CDP-capable Cisco digital media player.

QoS labels of incoming packets are trusted only when the system is detected.

Step 7

end

Example:


Switch(config-if)# end

Returns to privileged EXEC mode.

Step 8

show auto qos interface interface-id

Example:


Switch# show auto qos interface 
gigabitethernet 2/0/1

Verifies your entries.

This command displays the auto-QoS command on the interface on which auto-QoS was enabled. You can use the show running-config privileged EXEC command to display the auto-QoS configuration and the user modifications.

Troubleshooting Auto-QoS

To display the QoS commands that are automatically generated when auto-QoS is enabled or disabled, enter the debug auto qos privileged EXEC command before you enable auto-QoS. For more information, see the debug auto qos command in the command reference for this release.

To disable auto-QoS on a port, use the no form of the auto qos command interface configuration command, such as no auto qos voip .


Note

Auto-QoS generated global commands can also be removed manually if desired.


Only the auto-QoS-generated interface configuration commands for this port are removed. If this is the last port on which auto-QoS is enabled and you enter the no auto qos voip command, auto-QoS is considered disabled even though the auto-QoS-generated global configuration commands remain (to avoid disrupting traffic on other ports affected by the global configuration).

You can use the no mls qos global configuration command to disable the auto-QoS-generated global configuration commands. With QoS 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). Traffic is switched in pass-through mode (packets are switched without any rewrites and classified as best effort without any policing).

After creating the class maps and policy maps, the switch automatically applies the policy map called AutoQoS-Police-SoftPhone to an ingress interface on which auto-QoS with the Cisco SoftPhone feature is enabled (as shown below).


Switch(config-if)# service-policy input AutoQoS-Police-SoftPhone

Examples: Auto-QoS Generated Configuration For Enhanced Video, Trust, and Classify Devices

If you entered the following enhanced auto-QoS commands, the switch configures a CoS-to-DSCP map (maps CoS values in incoming packets to a DSCP value):

  • auto qos video cts

  • auto qos video ip-camera

  • auto qos video media-player

  • auto qos trust

  • auto qos trust cos

  • auto qos trust dscp

    The following command is initiated after entering one of the above auto-QoS commands:

    
    Switch(config)# mls qos map cos-dscp 0 8 16 24 32 46 48 56
    
    

    Note

    No class maps and policy maps are configured.


If you entered the auto qos classify command, the switch automatically creates class maps and policy maps (as shown below).
