Implementing QoS on a Campus LAN

[venkata dandu]

Hi All;

    We are a big Campus LAN network with 2960G series on the access layer and 6509 in Core layer and we want to deploy QoS. As recommended we want to classify and mark the traffic at the access layer. We got more than 150 types of traffic which we want to classify in to 5 groups. If i classify them using access list do they put extra load on the 2960 switches and is this is the correct way or are they any best or better ways to do this with less load on the switch?

    Thanks in advance.

Regards;

Rams

There are so many docs on this on Cisco. I would suggest and recommend reading them cos you will need to be able to understand this stuff to troubleshoot effectively.

Here's a good start:

Google and Cisco are your friends
