Hello all,
urgent help needed: we recently set up a temporary infrastructure for a broadcast environment with several Cisco Catalyst C3560CX access switches connected with gigabit uplinks to a C9300-48UB as a central switch. We work there with Dante audio workstations and we have massive problems with audio dropouts. Colleagues report a production-critical condition. They suspect that PTP oder Audio communication is disrupted when larger audio editing projects are saved to the database at the same time.
In its network design guidelines, Dante recommends activating QoS on all switches with the following settings:
Priority - Usage - DSCP
High - PTP - CS7/56
Medium - Audio - EF/46
Low - Reserved - CS1/8

I understand that implementing QoS should take a larger context into account, but we have a temporary and almost isolated environment and a production-critical condition, so let's assume this is purely about optimizing Dante traffic.
How would one set up Auto QoS or does anyone have already experience with activating Auto QoS for optimizing Dante traffic?
C3560CX, Version 15.2(7)E
C9300-48UB, Version 17.09.04a
Many thanks in advance
