Hi Darren and all,

I used "override" because without it, switch only remarks untagged frame,
and leaves other frame intact. I use this together with "mls qos trust
device cisco-phone" because I think trust device have higher priority than
"mls qos cos 1 override". Am I correct?

Not sure if override has a lower priority than mls qos trust device
Cisco-phone but I cannot see what you are achieving here. I thought your
post wanted to trust COS from phone and from PC (untagged) set COS to 1 
override is uneccsary in this instance.

About your configuration, can we "trust device" and "trust cos" together? I
haven't tried yet

Yes. You tell the switch to either trust COS or DSCP. The switch will then
trust these values no matter what. If you add mls qos trust device
Cisco-phone, the trust of the COS or DSCP command configured previously,
will only apply if a Cisco phone is detected. Therefore:

Option 1

Mls qos trust dscp --` Trusts dscp irrecspective of device attached

Option 2

Mls qost trust dscp

Mls qos trust device Cisco-phone --` trust DSCP only if Cisco phone is
connected

After reading all of your answers and thinking again. I have a third option.
I repost all 3:

option 1:
mls qos trust cos
switchport priority extend cos 1

option 2:
mls qos trust device cisco-phone
mls qos cos 1 override

option 3 :
mls qos trust device cisco-phone
switchport priority extend cos 1

In my opinion:

Option 1 would work

Option 2 would NOT work

Option 3  would work, not sure if you need to add mls qos trust cos
though

In fact, I took the first option from IEWB. I used to choose that, but now I
think why don't we choose the 3rd one? Isn't it better than the 1st?

Thank you

Phuc

Hey there! I believe your second option is wrong, you don't need the
override and you need to trust cos. I would do it like this....

mls qos trust device cisco-phone

mls qos trust cos
mls qos cos 1

This says trust the COS value ONLY if a Cisco phone is detected via CDP, and
any packets/frames without a COS value (such as those received from a PC on
the native vlan) use a COS value of 1. The COS override would 'override' any

COS values to 1, including COS values received from the phone!! I don't
believe you want to do this!

Hi Group,

With question: Ensure that VoIP traffic originating from the IP phones
maintains its CoS value, while traffic originating from the PCs is
remarked with a CoS of 1

I see 2 ways to answer. The first seems to be better, but I don't see
anything wrong with the second. Which one do you choose? Please explain.

mls qos trust cos
switchport priority extend cos 1

and
mls qos trust device cisco-phone
mls qos cos 1 override

Thank you

Phuc
