Hey -
I want to enable some real QoS at a new site as opposed to auto-qos. The site is going to have a 1002 router and 2, 3750X switches. The phone are going to be Nortel. I'm thinking of enabling VLAN-based QoS. I'm referring to a Nortel document for QoS to a Cisco 3750.
Here is my config related to QoS on the 3750X
mls qos srr-queue input buffers 70 30
mls qos
!
class-map match-all voice
match access-group name voice-traffic
!
policy-map voice-policy
class voice
trust dscp
!
interface GigabitEthernet1/0/1
switchport mode access
switchport access vlan 2
switchport voice vlan 10
mls qos vlan-based
spanning-tree portfast
spanning-tree bpduguard enable
!
interface Vlan10
ip addr 10.10.10.1 255.255.255.0
service-policy input voice-policy
!
ip access-list extended voice-traffic
permit ip 10.10.10.0 0.0.0.255 any
!
On the router:
class-map match-any IN
match ip dscp ef
class-map match-any VOICE
match ip dscp ef
!
policy-map IN
class IN
set ip dscp ef
policy-map QoS
class VOICE
priority percent 30
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0
description CONNECTION TO CORE SWITCH
ip address 172.20.1.138 255.255.255.252
negotiation auto
service-policy input IN
service-policy output QoS
!
interface Serial0/1/0
description WAN CIRCUIT FROM SITE 2 TO SITE 1

First off, This is a call center with 30 or so people - is VLAN-based QoS the way to go in this situation.
Must I also apply the "mls qos vlan-based" command on the trunk ports between the switches and the L3 port connecting to the router?
Like I said - I'm taking a stab at this - does it appear correct?
Thank you.

If you are doing classification on packets entering the trunk, yes - vlan-based qos is needed there - else you must enable trust or QoS marking will be removed as port is deemed untrusted.

Thanks Edison.
Do,you think I should use VLAN based Qos?
Also, these phones that will attach to this switch will be Nortel phones. Must I enable LLDP to communicate the proper voice VLAN and tagging?
Thank you, Pat.

Yes and Yes.
Vlan Based Qos is more scalable on TCAM resources (specially on 6500 switches).
LLDP is useful for discovery process on non-cisco phones.
Some phones provide information to switches via LLDP and switches can adjust power consumption based on this information. You will also be able to see the phone product ID information just like CDP.
Keep in mind, this behavior varies among phone manufacturers, please test beforehand.
