Re: Cat3550 QOS confirmation

David,

The Cisco Catalyst QOS book by Flannagan suggests pretty strongly that the
default CoS is not applied unless you also trust COS on that port. I
confirmed this on my lab 3550 running 12.1(19)EA1.

It is necessary to trust CoS before the default will be applied. I tried
this on access port, but would expect the same result on a trunk or voice
vlan.

HTH,
