Configure Quality of Service for an Office VOIP Deployment
There are multiple ways you can use QoS to map ingress phone and PC traffic so that you can give them
each a different quality of service. See Chapter 42, Quality of Service.
Honor the incoming DSCP value
On both the C-Series or S-Series, if you know traffic originating from the phone is tagged with the DSCP
value of 46 (EF), you might make the associated queue a strict priority queue, as shown in Figure 37-10;
on the C-Series and S-Series, FTOS maps DSCP 46 to queue 2 (see Table 42-5 on page 881 in the QoS
chapter.)
Figure 37-10. Honoring the DSCP Value on Incoming Voice Data
Honor the incoming dot1p value
On the C-Series, if you know traffic originating from the phone is tagged with a dot1p value of 5, you
might make the associated queue a strict priority queue, as shown in Figure 37-11; on the C-Series, FTOS
maps dot1p priority 5 to queue 2.
