Auto QOS cisco 3650 IOS XE 16.6.7

[Dhaf54134]

Hello Community,

Actually am working for QOS project for Snom phone and Microsoft 365 traffic,

we decided to Mark traffic from the terminal (IP Phone and PC with GPO)

in access layer we have cisco catalyst 1000, then I configured "auto qos trust DSCP" in all interfaces 

in distribution layer we have cisco 3650 IOS XE, 

 basing to this document, it seems that trust DSCP is default in all input interfaces :

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/lan/Denali_16-1/ConfigExamples_Technotes/Config_Examples/Misc/qos/m_qos_monitoring.html

So I configured auto qos trust dscp in all uplink interfaces (connected to routers).

Now, am searching the way to verify that all is working as expected

from the 3650, I launched sh policy-map on the uplink interface and I get this result :

sh policy-map interface Gi2/1/4
GigabitEthernet2/1/4

Can any one tell me the meaning of 0 packets after every class-map ?

how can I see the DSCP EF traffic/packets ?

How can I verify that my configuration is working ?

Thanks for your help.

qos queue-softmax-multiplier 1200

Enter this command and see if it improve things.

Hi,

I would recommend you span ports on  the 3650 and capture the traffic using wireshark, to see if your markings are really working. 

As for configuring qos, i would recommend you not use auto-qos but use the service policy model. Have a look at the following doc:

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/solutions/Enterprise/Video/qoscampuscat3x50aag.pdf

The service policy model requires a lot of work up front but gives you a lot of flexibility e.g. you can introduce other vendor switches or switches that do not support auto-qos. You just create you qos map for the network edge once and apply that to all you switches irrespective of vendor.

Thanks

When I tried to use access-list to match all DSCP EF traffic

class-map match-all Voice
match access-group name COS1

policy-map VOICE
class Voice
bandwidth percent 30

int gigabitEthernet 2/1/4
3650G-chantilly-1(config-if)#service-policy output VOICE

I have this unexpected log

Invalid queuing class-map!!! Queuing actions supported only with dscp/cos/qos-group/precedence/exp based classification!!!

Hello,

first of all, once you have marked a post as 'solved' people usually won't look at it anymore (other than of course to see the solution). 

For any additonal questions, you better start a new thread. Either way, did you verify on the Windows clients that that group policy has been implemented and that the DSCP marking is active on the clients (following the procedure below) ?

C:\Windows\system32> gpupdate.exe /force

C:\Windows\system32> gpresult /H "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\gp.html"
C:\Windows\system32> regedit /e "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\gp.txt" HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\QoS

which should render a file similar to this:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\QoS\callbar]
"Version"="1.0"
"Application Name"="Callbar.exe"
"Protocol"="*"
"Local Port"="*"
"Local IP"="*"
"Local IP Prefix Length"="*"
"Remote Port"="*"
"Remote IP"="*"
"Remote IP Prefix Length"="*"
"DSCP Value"="46"
"Throttle Rate"="-1"

The error you are getting is most likely caused by the match statement. You need to match on dscp (I assume you are matching on dscp 46):

class-map match-all Voice
--> match dscp 46

!

policy-map VOICE
class Voice
bandwidth percent 30

Hi George

Sorry about that, i'll open new discussion next time.

Thanks for the reply, and for demo of system QOS Marking.
