I am setting up QOS for Vmware View. I have everything setup on my core switch that the View environment directly plugs into. Do I need to put the same config on all of my closet switches as well. Or will the tag stay on the traffic as it travels through the network.
If I have to put the same setup on all the closet switches do I need to put the QOS on individual ports or is putting it on the trunk ports enough?
Thanks

Answer is an "it depends".
Many Cisco switches have QoS disabled by default. When so disabled, they generally pass marked packets "as is". However, many, when QoS enabled, will set ToS/CoS to zero unless configured to do otherwise.
Regarding whether you need the same QoS setup on all devices, that's another "it depends". "Book" answer is you configure QoS, to meet your goals, end-to-end. Insuring your QoS goals are met, end-to-end, though, doesn't always require identical QoS configurations or sometimes even a QoS configuration.

You should only have to mark the traffic once, at the source port. Assuming you have QoS enabled with the correct CoS/DSCP mappings in the general section of the configuration on the other switches, your trunked links should have the command mls qos trust dscp.
