Application Classification –Automatically discovers applications and provides appropriate QoS treatment Policy Generation –Automatically generates initial and ongoing QoS policies Configuration –Provides high level business knobs, and multi-device / domain automation for QoS Monitoring & Reporting –Generates intelligent, automatic alerts and summary reports Consistency –Enables automatic, seamless interoperability among all QoS features and parameters across a network topology – LAN, MAN, and WAN

IPTX v AutoQoS: Router Platforms Cisco 1760, 2600, 3600, 3700 and 7200 Series Routers User can meet the voice QoS requirements without extensive knowledge about: –Underlying technologies (i.e.: PPP, FR, ATM) –Service policies –Link efficiency mechanisms AutoQoS lends itself to tuning of all generated parameters & configurations

IPTX v AutoQoS: Switch Platforms Cisco Catalyst 6500, 4500, 3550, 3560, 2970 and 2950(EI) Switches User can meet the voice QoS requirements without extensive knowledge about: –Trust boundary –CoS to DSCP mappings –Weighted Round Robin (WRR) & Priority Queue (PQ) Scheduling parameters Generated parameters and configurations are user tunable EI

Single command at the interface level configures interface and global QoS –Support for Cisco IP Phone & Cisco Soft Phone Support for Cisco Soft Phone currently exists only on the Cat6500 –Trust Boundary is disabled when IP Phone is moved/relocated –Buffer Allocation & Egress Queuing dependent on interface type (GE/FE) Supported on Static, dynamic-access, voice VLAN access, and trunk ports CDP must be enabled for AutoQoS to function properly

© 2005 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. IPTX v Configuring AutoQoS: Prerequisites for Using AutoQoS Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF) must be enabled at the interface or ATM PVC This feature cannot be configured if a QoS policy (service policy) is attached to the interface An interface is classified as low-speed if its bandwidth is less than or equal to 768 kbps. It is classified as high-speed if its bandwidth is greater than 768 kbps –The correct bandwidth should be configured on all interfaces or sub-interfaces using the bandwidth command –If the interface or sub-interface has a link speed of 768 kbps or lower, an IP address must be configured using the ip address command

IPTX v Configuring AutoQoS: Routers auto qos voip [trust] [fr-atm] router(config-if)# or router(config-fr-dlci)# Configures the AutoQoS VoIP feature Untrusted mode by default trust: Indicates that the differentiated services code point (DSCP) markings of a packet are trusted (relied on) for classification of the voice traffic fr-atm: For low-speed Frame Relay DLCIs interconnected with ATM PVCs in the same network, the fr-atm keyword must be explicitly configured in the auto qos voip command to configure the AutoQoS VoIP feature properly

The trusted boundary feature is disabled and no QoS policing is configured on these types of ports
