Enabling AutoQoS on Catalyst Switches


You can use one single command to enable QoS on your catalyst switches, and QoS will be applied to the switchports automatically.

Catalyst (config-if) # auto qos voip cisco-phone

It can achieve the following with AutoQoS macro:

  • Enforces a trust boundary at Cisco IP Phones
  • Enforces a trust boundary on Catalyst switch access ports and uplinks/downlinks
  • Enables Catalyst strict priority queuing for voice and weighted round robin queuing for data traffic
  • Modifies queue admission criteria (i.e. CoS to-queue mapping)
  • Modifies queue sizes, as well as queue weights where required
  • Modifies CoS-to-DSCP and IP precedence to-DSCP mappings
