5506-X DSCP Filtering Capabilities

[BK2021]

Hi there,

I have been trying to implement DSCP filtering on a ASA 5506-X, using class maps.  But have not been able to get it configured and working.  It seems that the commands to do it are there, but looking at general DSCP filtering examples, I'm not able to get it working.  Does anyone know if this device is able to do it?

Thanks ahead of time!

Hi Sheraz.Salim,

I am on a 5506-X, v9.10.  Configuring through the CLI and not ASDM.

Initially this document is what I've been following.  I have set it to match a couple of DSCP values, and thought that if we have this in the service policy, then it would prevent other DSCP values to be dropped at the outside interface, but all traffic is still flowing through.

could you please share your configuration. so I can have a look at it.

I just found out that the ASA does not support filtering traffic using DSCP.  It will need to be done on a router.

Thanks for your time.
