Hi,

Your newer Catalyst 2960Plus Series SI switch can ONLY run the LAN-LITE feature set.
Applying QOS with class-maps & policy-maps is NOT supported on these switches.
Unfortunately you CAN NOT upgrade/downgrade the feature on these switches.

Please see the Q&A session re these switches at this link:-

http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/switches/catalyst-2960-plus-series-switches/qa_c67-728215.html

Also from the config guides:-

http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/lan/catalyst2960/software/release/15-2_2_e/configuration/guide/b_1522e_2960_2960c_2960s_2960sf_2960p_cg/b_1522e_2960_2960c_2960s_2960sf_2960p_cg_chapter_011111.html

Restrictions for QoS

 
The following are the restrictions for QoS:
• To use these features, the switch must be running the LAN Base image: stacking, DSCP, auto-QoS, trusted boundary, policing, marking, mapping tables, and weighted tail drop.
 
• Ingress queueing is not supported.
 
• You can configure QoS only on physical ports. VLAN-based QoS is not supported. You configure the QoS settings, such as classification, queueing, and scheduling, and apply the policy map to a port. When configuring QoS on a physical port, you apply a nonhierarchical policy map to a port.
 
• If the switch is running the LAN Lite image you can:
 ◦  Configure ACLs, but you cannot attach them to physical interfaces. You can attach them to VLAN interfaces to filter traffic to the CPU.
 
◦ Enable only cos trust at interface level.
 
◦ Enable SRR shaping and sharing at interface level.
 
◦ Enable Priority queueing at interface level.
 
◦ Enable or disable mls qos rewrite ip dscp.
 

• The switch must be running the LAN Base image to use the following QoS features:
 ◦ Policy maps
 
◦ Policing and marking
 
◦ Mapping tables
 
◦ WTD

Hope this helps
