QoS for subnet

[networker99]

I have an ASA 5505, with 2x internet vlans and 2x internal VLANS (one for data and one for voice).. I would like a simple QoS policy to ensure that voice is always given priorty over data, this includes when travelling through the ASA and out each internet interface.

Thanks in advance..

Hello,

You can apply the QOS on the global policy, so it will be attache to all the ASA interfaces when it detects this is voice traffic.

1- Create a low latency queue for the traffic:

hostname(config) priority-queue outside

hostname(config-priority-queue) queue-limit 256

hostname(config-priority-queue) tx-ring-limit 3

hostname(config) priority-queue outside2

hostname(config-priority-queue) queue-limit 256

hostname(config-priority-queue) tx-ring-limit 3

2- Select the traffic that you will need to give priority, ( like the access-list that you have on the Router)

access-list qos_voice permit tcp any any eq SIP

access-list qos_voice permit udp any any eq SIP

*If they are Cisco Phones SIP can use tcp or udp, by default voice packets

will have the DSCP value of EF. Therefore, you can use a matching criteria

like the following:

hostname(config)# class-map VOICE

hostname(config-cmap)# match dscp ef

3- Create a class map with the traffic

hostname(config) class-map qos_voice

hostname(config-cmap) match access-list qos_voice

4- Set priority to that class-map on the gloval_policy

hostname(config) policy-map global_policy

hostname(config-pmap) class qos_voice

hostname(config-pmap-c) priority
