It could be worse, Dale.
I had to learn the 3560 QOS about a year after my R&S lab when I was in the
middle of a large QOS deployment to a network of 3550 switches. We needed to
add in an extra switch and Cisco (refusing to sell the EOS 3550) pushed a
3560 onto us instead. Needless to say when I copied and pasted my
"wrr-queue" commands onto the 3560 to put it in its rack and walk away,
success was more than the normal 10 minutes away.
An hour or so of reading and testing later and all was good. That's why I
*strongly* suggest to my R&S students to read both the 3550 AND 3560
Configuration Guides QOS sections (and flick through the SRND if the chance
arises).
So, I feel your pain. ;)

<begin whine>
Man, could Cisco have done a better job of making the layer 2 QoS
congestion management and avoidance commands _less_ intuitive?
It's tough enough grasping the bizzare syntax, deciphering the vague
show outputs, and becoming familiar with the idiosyncrasies of one
switching platform (c3550), but having to cram all that detail for two
platforms? Arrrrggghhh *cue brain explosion*
<end whine>
On a lighter note, I feel like it's sinking in slowly but surely.
cheers,
Dale
