QOS Config on 3560 Switch

[astipkovits]

Hey Guys,

I'm in the process of configuring QOS on a 3560 routing switch in a GOLD, SILVER, BRONZE priority type scenario.

Firstly,  I understand that this config will add a tag of "precedence 5" to a packet if it matches the "ACL_QOS_GOLD_In" access list. Question is does the router see this "precedence 5" tag and then sets the priority, or am I missing something in my config where at present it just sees the "precedence 5" and doesn’t act on it ?

Secondly, Since the "precedence 5" tag has already been added to the packets, do downstream routers see this tag and act accordingly or so I need to configure those is well ?

Here’s the coding

mls qos

interface GigabitEthernet0/1

switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q

switchport trunk allowed vlan 52

switchport mode trunk

mls qos vlan-based

interface Vlan52

  ip address 10.x.x.x 255.255.255.240

  service-policy input PM_QOS_IN

class-map match-all CM_QOS_GOLD_In

   match access-group name ACL_QOS_GOLD_In

policy-map PM_QOS_IN

   class CM_QOS_GOLD_In

    set precedence 5

ip access-list extended ACL_QOS_GOLD_In

  permit ip host 192.168.1.52 10.70.0.0 0.0.1.255

  permit ip host 192.168.1.53 10.70.0.0 0.0.1.255

  permit ip host 192.168.1.54 10.70.0.0 0.0.1.255

  permit ip any host 10.70.6.10

Many Thanks

Whether your 3560 will act on your IPPrec 5 setting depends on its configuration.  "mls qos", alone, enables a default egress configuration, although don't recall what it uses, by default, for egress classification.

Regarding downstream devices, whether IPPrec 5 will be treated differently depends on those device configurations (and capabilities).  Often the default is no special treatment.
