We have an Avaya IP Office phone system and are using C3560 and C2960S switches. The Avaya phones are tagging voice traffic as follows:
Layer 2 (CoS) Audio --> 6
Layer 2 (CoS) Signaling --> 6
Layer 3 (DSCP) Audio --> 46
Layer 3 (DSCP) Signaling --> 0
I've configured QoS on all of the switches using Auto-QoS. My understanding is that, when using Auto-QoS, the switch assumes VoIP traffic is tagged as CoS 5, rather than CoS 6, and that VoIP signaling traffic is tagged CoS 3, rather than CoS 6. Is that correct? My question then is: Are the switches not prioritizing traffic correctly, assuming the above configuration? Here is a sample switch configuration (generated by Auto-QoS):
