Where to Begin?
Always, Always, Always Start with Defining Your Business Goals of QoS
• Guaranteeing voice quality meets enterprise standards
• Ensuring a high Quality of Experience (QoE) for video applications
• Improving user productivity by minimizing network response times
• Managing business applications that are “bandwidth hogs”
• Identifying and de-prioritizing non-business applications
• Improving network availability by protecting the control planes
• Hardening the network infrastructure to deal with abnormal events

The Case for Campus QoS
• The primary role of QoS in campus networks is to manage packet loss

• In campus networks, it takes only a few milliseconds of congestion to cause drops
• Rich media applications are extremely sensitive to packet drops
• Queuing policies at every node can prevent packet loss for real-time apps
• The secondary role of QoS in campus networks is to condition traffic at the access
edge, which can include any of the following:
• Trust
• Classify and Mark
• Police
Why Is Video So Sensitive to Packet Loss?
1920 lines of Vertical Resolution (Widescreen Aspect Ratio is 16:9)
1080p60
1080 lines of Horizontal Resolution
1080 x 1920 lines =
2,073,600 pixels per frame
x 24 bits of color per pixel
x 60 frames per second
= 2,985,984,000 bps
or 3 Gbps Uncompressed!
Cisco (H264/H.265) codecs transmit 3-5 Mbps per 1080p60 video stream
which represents over 99.8% compression (~ 1000:1)
Packet loss is proportionally magnified by compression ratios
Users can notice a single packet lost in 10,000—
Making HD Video One Hundred Times More Sensitive to Packet Loss than VoIP!

Software and Syntax Variations
• Catalyst 2960-X / 3560 / 3750 are the last platforms to use Multilayer Switch QoS (MLS QoS)
• QoS is disabled by default and must be globally enabled with mls qos command
• Once enabled, all ports are set to an untrusted port-state
• Catalyst 3650/3850 and 4500 use IOS Modular QoS Command Line Interface (MQC)
• QoS is enabled by default
• All ports are trusted at layer 2 and layer 3 by default
• Catalyst 6500/6800 use Cisco Common Classification Policy Language (C3PL) QoS
• QoS is enabled by default (Sup2T) – Disabled by default (Sup720)
• C3PL presents queuing policies similar to MQC, but as a defined “type” of policy
• Nexus 7000/7700 use NX-OS QoS

• QoS is enabled by default
• NX-OS presents queuing policies similar to MQC, but as a defined “type” and with default class-map names

Trust Boundary
Policy Enforcement Points (PEPs)
• The Policy Enforcement Point (PEP) is the edge where classification and marking policies are enforced
• The PEP may or may not be the same as the trust boundary
• Multiple PEPs may exist for different types of network devices
• e.g. switch PEP vs. router PEP

• Classifies the flow, based on packet processing
• Potentially first packet (First In Flow – FIF classification)
• Programs the Fast Path with classification result

EtherChannel QoS
• EtherChannels are comprised of logical (Port-Channel) interfaces and physical
(port-member) interfaces
• Ingress QoS policies are usually applied to the logical interfaces (but not always)
• Egress QoS policies (such as queuing) are always applied to the physical port-
member interfaces

1. Enable QoS • The Catalyst 3560 & 3750 support ingress
queuing policies, but the 2960-X does not.
2. Configure Ingress QoS Model(s): • Similarly, the Catalyst 3560 & 3750 support
 Trust Models VLAN-based QoS policies, but the 2960-X
 Conditional Trust Model does not.
 Service Policy Models
Note: Catalyst 2960-X must be running a LAN
3. Configure Egress Queuing Base image to support the following QoS
features
• Policy maps
• Policing & marking
• Mapping tables
• Weighted Tail Drop (WTD)
Catalyst 2960-X
Enabling QoS and Trust Models
Enabling QoS:
mls qos Shaded commands are global
Trust-CoS Model Example:

mls qos map cos-dscp 0 8 16 24 32 46 48 56 Key commands/parameters in RED
mls qos trust cos Highlighted commands are interface specific
Trust-DSCP Model Example:

mls qos trust dscp Note: CoS 5 which is explicitly mapped to DSCP 46
Conditional-Trust Model Example:

mls qos trust device cisco-phone [or]
mls qos trust device cts Note: Only one type of device may be configured at a time
[or]
mls qos trust device ip-camera [or]
mls qos trust device media-player
Catalyst 2960-X
Conditional Trust Model Example
Conditional Trust Policy to a Cisco IP Phone:

mls qos map cos-dscp 0 8 16 24 32 46 48 56
mls qos trust device cisco-phone
mls qos trust cos Note: All CoS-to-DSCP values are left at default
(DSCP = CoS * 8)
Except for CoS 5 which is explicitly mapped to DSCP 46

(Expedite Forwarding/EF, per RFC 3246 & 4594).
CoS must be
matched as Cisco IP

class-map match-all SCAVENGER set dscp af11
match access-group name SCAVENGER class SCAVENGER
set dscp cs1
class class-default
set dscp default
service-policy input MARKING-POLICY
Note: Remarking is performed by configuring a
policed-DSCP map with the global configuration
command mls qos map policed-dscp, which
Catalyst 2960-X specifies which DSCP values are subject to
remarking if out-of-profile and what value these
should be remarked as.
Marking & Policing Policy Example
In this example exceeding:
• Best Effort (DSCP 0)
mls qos map policed-dscp 0 10 18 to 8 • Bulk (AF11 / DSCP 10)
• Transactional Data (AF21 / DSCP 18)
[class-maps omitted for brevity] are remarked to Scavenger (CS1 / DSCP 8).

QoS Design Steps
1. Configure Ingress QoS Model(s):
 Trust DSCP Model*
 Conditional Trust Models (wired ports only)
 Service Policy Models (wired or wireless ports)
2. Configure Egress Queuing

 Wired Queuing Models: 8Q3T or 1P7Q3T or 2P6Q3T
 Wireless Queuing Model: 2P2Q+AFD
*Note: Catalyst 3650/3850 IOS MQC trusts all wired ports by default
Prior to IOS XE 3.3, wireless ports were set to an untrusted state by default.
However, this default setting can be globally disabled with the following command:
no qos wireless-default-untrust
Beginning with IOS XE 3.3, wireless ports are also trusted by default
Catalyst 3650/3850 Only match-any is supported
(i.e. match-all is not supported)

Agenda
Campus WLAN QoS Design
Considerations and Best Practices
The Case for Wireless QoS
• QoS is like a chain

• It’s only as strong as its weakest link
• the WLAN is one of the weakest links in
enterprise QoS designs for three primary reasons:
1) Typical downshift in speed (and throughput)
2) Shift from full-duplex to half-duplex media
3) Shift from a dedicated media to a shared media
• WLAN QoS policies control both jitter and packet loss
Wireless QoS-Specific Limitations
• No priority servicing LAN QoS WLAN QoS
• No bandwidth guarantees
• Non-deterministic media access
• Only 4 levels of service

QoS Design Steps
1. Select and Tune the WLAN QoS Profile
2. Configure an AVC Profile
3. Apply the QoS and AVC Profile to the WLAN and Enable Application Visibility
4. Modify default DSCP-to-UP mappings and enable Upstream DSCP-Trust
AireOS WLC
Tuning QoS Profiles
• QoS Profiles are applied to both upstream
& downstream flows on egress
• The WLAN QoS Profile defines:
WLAN Maximum Priority
• It recommended to set the Maximum
Priority to voice on multiservice WLANs
Unicast and Multicast Default Priority
• Typically these values are
recommended to be set to best effort
• QoS Profiles override/control

AVC Profiles
The WLAN Maximum Priority is a DSCP and UP Marking Ceiling

If you want to preserve voice markings, then you *MUST* set
this to voice © 2016 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Public 136
AireOS WLC
Creating AVC Profiles
• AVC Profiles are applied to both
upstream and downstream flows
on WLC ingress
• an AVC Profile can contain a
maximum of 32 application rules
• AVC profiles can be overridden
by QoS Profiles
• So be sure to align these!
AireOS WLC
Attaching QoS and AVC Profiles and Enabling AVC
• Select the desired QoS and AVC Profiles to apply to the WLAN
• Check the box to enable Application Visibility
AireOS QoS Policy Deployment
Step 4) Configure Downstream DSCP-to-UP Mapping and
Enable Upstream DSCP-Trust—Configuration (Part 1 of 2)
Step 1: Disable the Current QoS Map
(Cisco WLC) > config qos qosmap disable
Step 2: Configure the UP-to-DSCP Maps

(Cisco WLC) > config qos qosmap up-to-dscp-map 0 0 0 7
Step 3: Configure DSCP-to-UP Mapping Exceptions

AVC/QoS Design Steps
1. Enable Application Visibility
a) Create a Flow Record
b) (Optional) Create a Flow Exporter
c) Create a Flow Monitor
d) Apply the Flow Monitor to the WLAN
2. Configure a AVC Policy

3. Configure a AFD Policy
4. Configure Custom DSCPUP Table Maps + Upstream DSCP-Trust

Enabling Application Visibility
Step 1: Create a Flow Record Step 2: (Optional) Create a Flow Exporter
