What Do You Consider First?
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
Determining Business Relevance
How Important is an Application to Your Business?
Relevant Default Irrelevant

• These applications directly • These applications may/may • These applications do not
support business objectives not support business objectives support business objectives and
(e.g. HTTP/HTTPS/SSL) are typically consumer-oriented
• Applications should be
classified, marked and • Applications of this type should • Applications of this type should
treated marked according to be treated with a Default be treated with a “less-than

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

• 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!

Utility
Performance
Software and Syntax Variations
• Catalyst 2960-X/3560-X/3750-X are the last platforms to use Multilayer Switch QoS (MLS QoS)
• QoS is disabled by default and must be globally enabled with the mls qos command
• Once enabled, all ports are set to an untrusted port-state
• Catalyst 9000, Catalyst 3650/3850, and Catalyst 4500E use IOS Modular QoS Command Line
Interface (MQC)
• QoS is enabled by default
• All ports trust at layer 2 and layer 3 by default
• Catalyst 6500-E/6800 (Sup6T & Sup2T) use Cisco Common Classification Policy Language
(C3PL) QoS
• C3PL presents queuing policies similar to MQC, but as a defined “type” of policy
• Nexus 7000/7700 use NX-OS QoS

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

Auto QoS
• Auto QoS is a macro which provisions pre-defined ingress classification & marking
and queuing (egress and/or ingress) policies to switch ports
• Eleven forms of the interface-level Auto QoS command QoS Policies for all
• auto qos voip {cisco-phone | cisco-softphone | trust} Auto QoS commands
• auto qos video {cts | ip-camera | media-player}
for MLS QoS and MQC
platforms are included
• auto qos classify [police]
Appendices D & E
• auto qos trust [cos | dscp]
• To remove Auto QoS on an interface preface the command with a “no” (i.e. no auto
qos voip cisco-phone)
• It is not recommended to modify the configuration provisioned by the Auto QoS commands
because it may affect the ability of the switch to remove the configuration at the interface-level
or globally when removing Auto QoS
• The global command “auto qos srnd4” must be configured to use the current version
of Auto QoS on Catalyst 3750-X / 3560-X / 2960-X platforms.

Campus QoS Design Best Practices
• Always perform QoS in hardware rather than software when a choice exists
• Classify and mark applications as close to their sources as technically and
administratively feasible
• Establish the QoS trust boundary at the access-edge of the network
• Trust QoS within the distribution and core layers of the network
• Police unwanted traffic flows as close to their sources as possible

• Enable queuing policies at every node where the potential for congestion exists
Campus Port QoS Roles

https://documentation.meraki.com/MS/Other_Topics/MS_Switch_Quality_of_Service_Defined
• Each CoS queue is assigned a weight which
determines the ratio of bandwidth assigned to the
queue
• QoS guarantees a certain fraction of the uplink to
each configured queue when the link is congested
• If a queue is not fully utilized, the bandwidth will be
used by other queues
• Note: Meraki MS Series switches do not support
strict priority queuing
Dashboard QoS Rules for the Network
• Rules are user defined and processed from top to bottom
• A rule can apply to any combination of VLAN, protocol, source port, or destination port
• Meraki MS120 Series switches support QoS rules based on IP range only
• Each rule has one of the following actions – Trust or Set the DSCP marking
• As soon as the first QoS rule is added, the switch will trust DSCP markings on incoming
packets that have DSCP to CoS mappings. This rule is invisible and processed last.
• If an incoming packet has a DSCP marking set but no matching QoS rule or DSCP to
CoS mapping, it will be placed in the default queue

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 dedicated media to shared media
• WLAN QoS policies control both jitter and

packet loss

QoS Design Steps
1. Tune EDCA and CAC

2. Select and Tune the WLAN QoS Profile
3. Configure an AVC Profile
4. Apply the QoS and AVC Profile to the WLAN and Enable Application Visibility
5. Modify default DSCP-to-UP mappings and enable Upstream DSCP-Trust
AireOS – EDCA Profiles
EDCA Profiles control access to the wireless media
through differentiated contention window (aCWmin &
aCWmax), arbitrated interframe space (AIFS), and
transmit opportunity (TXOP) settings for each of the
• Tunable for each radio (5 GHz & 2.4 GHz) access categories (AC_VO, AC_VI, AC_BE, AC_BK)
• Radio must be disabled before changing EDCA Profile
• Navigate to Wireless > 802.11a/n/ac/ax or 802.11g/n/ax > EDCA Parameters
• Select the EDCA Profile

• WMM (Default Setting)

AireOS – CAC
• Supported for Voice, Video, & Media
• Tune for each radio (5 GHz & 2.4 GHz)
• Radio must be disabled before changing

CAC settings
• Navigate to Wireless > 802.11a/n/ac/ax
or 802.11g/n/ax > Media > Voice, Video,
or Media
• Load Based CAC takes into account
channel loading impact due to
interference, other APs, etc. as well as
client traffic
• SIP CAC Support is for wireless stations that
do not support TSPEC-based admission
control
AireOS – QoS Profiles (Precious Metals)
• Platinum, Gold, Silver or Bronze templates
which can be applied to WLANs
• The main purpose of the QoS profile is to
limit the maximum DSCP allowed and thus
limit the 802.11 UP value.
• Per-User or Per-SSID rate limiting
• Real-Time (UDP) & non-Real-Time (TCP)
flows
• Upstream & Downstream Rates
• Maximum Priority setting controls the

maximum DSCP marking of traffic in the
CAPWAP header. Unicast/Multicast default
is the marking used for non WMM packets
• The Maximum Priority setting should be in
alignment with the AVC Profile
AireOS AVC & FlexConnect AVC Profiles
• NBAR-based policies
• NBAR versions are generally different between the
WLC (AVC Profiles) and the AP (FlexConnect
Profiles)
• Up to 32 application rules per profile
• Actions of Mark, Drop, or Rate-limit

• Marking can be Upstream, Downstream, or
Bidirectional
• Up to 3 applications can be rate-limited
• AireOS 8.8 and higher allows a “class-default”

rule with marking action applied to all apps
which do not match a previous rule
• AVC profiles modify the DSCP markings of the

original packet. QoS Profiles modify the DSCP
markings of the outer CAPWAP header.
• Align AVC Profiles with QoS Profiles
AireOS – Applying QoS & AVC Profiles to WLANs
• Navigate to WLANs, select the
WLAN ID, and select the QoS tab
• Select the QoS Profile to apply to
the WLAN
• Enable Application Visibility and
select the AVC Profile to apply to
the WLAN
• You can override per-user and per-
SSID rate limiting for the WLAN if
you choose
• Set the WMM Policy on the WLAN
• Disabled
• Allowed
• Required
AireOS – DSCP-to-UP Mapping & DSCP Trust
• Disable the QoS Map to
change the mappings
• Upstream configuration
• Trust DSCP UpStream
(recommended)
• UP to DSCP Map
• A table will appear allowing you to
choose the mappings
• Downstream configuration
• Configure the DSCP to UP Map

Bandwidth Shaping - Configure > Firewall and Traffic shaping
• Supports separate upload and download limits

• Per-SSID and per-device/user limits
• Support for per-user bandwidth limits when a customer-hosted RADIUS server is used
• SpeedBurst allows up to 4 times the configured rate for 5 seconds
https://documentation.meraki.com/MR/Firewall_and_Traffic_Shaping/Traffic_and_Bandwidth_Shaping
Traffic Shaping – Configure > Firewall and Traffic shaping
• Identifies traffic based on Layer 3 or Layer 7 (application) signatures and enforces

QoS
• Rule Definition – 2 Options
• Select from pre-defined application categories
• Custom rule definitions specifying HTTP hostnames, port number, IP address range, or combinations of IP
address range and port
• Rule Action – Shaping and/or Prioritization

• Allow unlimited bandwidth usage – ignoring limits set for a particular SSID
• Obey the SSID limits defined on the Access Control page
• Apply more restrictive limits than specified for the SSID
Upstream and Downstream QoS
• Default downstream mapping

of DSCP value to 802.11 AC
• Upstream QoS sent by the
client is honored.
• DSCP field within the traffic
sent from the client is
maintained on the Ethernet
network
• Fastlane support with the
ability to install a wireless
profile on iOS devices via
the Meraki EMM
• The default configuration accepts all application markings. Select Restrict QoS marking to
whitelist specific applications

Summary and
References
Key Takeaways
• Start by identifying the business objectives behind implementing QoS
• QoS on the wired side of the campus is needed primarily to control packet drops
• WLAN QoS is needed to control both jitter and packet drops
• Know your QoS toolset, as this varies platform-to-platform
• Cisco provides many At-A-Glance guides to get you up and running quickly and
design guides for more detail
• Cisco is continuing to simplify QoS—both in hardware and software
• Cisco DNA Center Application Policy delivers simplicity for Campus QoS through
intent-based QoS policy
• Cisco DNA Assurance provides visibility into applications and application
performance on the network

switch. However, it is also sometimes
deployed as an access-layer switch.

Catalyst 4500E
QoS Design Steps (Access-Layer Switch)
1. Configure Ingress QoS Model(s):

 Trust DSCP / CoS Model (Default)*
 Conditional Trust Model
 Service Policy Models
* Note: Catalyst 4500E uses MQC QoS,

which trusts by default. Therefore no
explicit policy is required for DSCP trust.
Catalyst 4500E
Conditional Trust Example
match cos 5
Catalyst 4500E supports both class-map match-all SIGNALING
match-all (logical AND) and match cos 3
match-any (logical OR) operators !
policy-map CISCO-IPPHONE

Classification Options
• ACL-based classification: match access-group ACL_NAME

• Syntax is identical to Catalyst 2960-X / 3560-X / 3750-X ACL-based classification & marking examples
• Application Visibility and Control with Domain Name System-Authoritative Source

protocol attribute
• Supervisor Engines 9-E, 8-E, 8L-E, 7-E, 7L-E with IP Base and IP Services
• Note: The Catalyst 4500E does NOT support NBAR2
DNS-Authoritative Source (DNS-AS)
What is DNS-AS?
• Application visibility end-to-end in the network

• Light-weight application detection process
• A scalable means of identifying encrypted & cloud applications
• An efficient means to distribute application metadata
• No client software requirement
• Simplified end-to-end policy enforcement
DNS Lookup:
DNS-AS Operation DNS mail.timco.com
Lookup + TXT Record Request:
1) Client requests a DNS Lookup mail.timco.com
DNS A-Record:
TXT Record:
2) Access Switch examines the DNS request mail.timco.com is 172.16.0.7

3) Internal DNS Server returns a DNS response (A- Server

App Class: BULK-DATA
4) Access Switch requests application metadata Business Relevance: YES
information by generating its own DNS query Internal

5) Internal DNS Server returns application metadata

6) Access Switch maintains a Binding Table of

Configurations -
Catalyst 3750-X /
3560-X / 2960-X
Auto QoS - Catalyst 3750-X / 3560-X / 2960-X
• Auto QoS is a macro which provisions a pre-defined ingress classification & marking
policy and an egress (and/or ingress) queueing policy
• Eleven forms of the interface-level Auto QoS command (“auto qos voip trust” and
“auto qos trust” generate the same configuration)
• auto qos voip {cisco-phone | cisco-softphone | trust}
• To remove Auto QoS on an interface (run another macro to remove Auto QoS)
preface the command with a “no” (i.e. no auto qos voip cisco-phone)
because it may affect the ability of the switch to remove the configuration on the interface or
globally when removing Auto QoS
Auto QoS Versions and Compact
• Two versions of Auto QoS configurations are supported on older MLS QoS platforms
• The older version is deprecated, and not recommended to be used
• The global command “auto qos srnd4” must be configured to use the current
version of Auto QoS on Catalyst 3750-X / 3560-X / 2960-X platforms.
auto qos srnd4

This must be configured in the global
configuration of the switch in order to
enable the current version of Auto QoS
• For all switches, the global configuration-level command “auto qos global compact”
resets all generated global configuration commands for Auto QoS
• All global configuration-level QoS commands are hidden. They do not show up in the
configuration with a “show running-configuration” command
Only indication within the global running

Appendix E:
AutoQoS
Configurations -
Catalyst 9000 /
3850 / 3650
Auto QoS – Catalyst 9000 / 3850 / 3650 (Wired)
• Auto QoS is a macro which provisions a pre-defined ingress classification & marking
policy and an egress (and/or ingress) queueing policy
• Eleven forms of the interface-level Auto QoS command (“auto qos voip trust” and
“auto qos trust” generate the same configuration)
• auto qos voip {cisco-phone | cisco-softphone | trust}
• To remove Auto QoS on an interface (run another macro to remove Auto QoS)
preface the command with a “no” (i.e. no auto qos voip cisco-phone)
because it may affect the ability of the switch to remove the configuration on the interface or
globally when removing Auto QoS
Hiding Auto QoS Generated Configuration
• The global configuration-level command “auto qos global compact” resets all
generated global configuration commands for Auto QoS
• All global configuration-level commands are hidden (other than the “auto qos global
compact” command). They do not show up in the configuration with a “show running-
configuration” command
Only indication within the global running configuration that
auto qos global compact Auto QoS global configurations have been generated
• When auto qos global compact is enabled and auto qos is enabled on an interface,
only the command which enabled auto qos on the interface appears within the
configuration.
• Service policies which are generated and applied to the interface are also hidden
interface GigabitEthernet1/0/15 Only indication within the interface-level running

configurations have been generated
