Re: QOS question

With this configuration you are only trusting COS, this would cause the
switch to re-write DCSP to 0. If you wanted to trust the DSCP value,
you would have to add mls qos trust dscp to the config. Alternately you
could rewrite the DSCP value to anything you like.

Sincerely,

Bill
