Configuring QoS
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure the port to trust the classification
of the traffic that it receives:
To return a port to its untrusted state, use the no mls qos trust interface configuration command.
For information on how to change the default CoS value, see the “Configuring the CoS Value for an
Interface” section on page 26-13. For information on how to configure the CoS-to-DSCP map, see the
“Configuring the CoS-to-DSCP Map” section on page 26-25.
Command Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2
interface interface-id Enter interface configuration mode, and specify the interface to be
trusted.
Valid interfaces include physical interfaces.
Step 3
mls qos trust [cos | dscp] Configure the port trust state.
By default, the port is not trusted.
The keywords have these meanings:
cos—Classifies ingress packets with the packet CoS values. For
tagged IP packets, the DSCP value of the packet is modified based
on the CoS-to-DSCP map. The egress queue assigned to the packet
is based on the packet CoS value.
dscp—Classifies ingress packets with packet DSCP values. For
non-IP packets, the packet CoS value is set to 0 for tagged packets;
the default port CoS is used for untagged packets. Internally, the
switch modifies the CoS value by using the DSCP-to-CoS map. This
keyword is available only if your switch is running the EI.
Note In software releases earlier than Release 12.1(11)EA1, the
mls qos trust command is available only when the switch is
running the EI.
Use the cos keyword if your network is composed of Ethernet LANs.
Use the dscp keyword if your network is not composed of only
Ethernet LANs and if you are familiar with sophisticated QoS
features and implementations.
For more information about this command, refer to the command
reference for this release.
Step 4
end Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 5
show mls qos interface [interface-id]

Verify your entries.
Step 6
