ONT Notes - AutoQoS
- AutoQoS benefits
- Automates QoS for most deployments
- Protects business-critical apps to maximize availability
- Simplifies QoS deployments
- Reduces configuration errors
- Cheaper, faster, and simpler deployments
- Follows DiffServ
- Allows complete control over QoS configs
- Allows modification of auto-generated configs
- AutoQoS phases of evolution
- AutoQoS VOIP – Early version that configures the basics without discovery
- AutoQoS for Enterprise – Second version that only runs on routers and uses two-step process
- Autodiscovery using NBAR
- Generation of class maps
- AutoQoS key elements
- Application classification
- Policy generation
- Configuration
- Monitoring and reporting
- Consistency
- Interfaces that you can configure AutoQoS on
- Serial ifs with PPP and HDLC
- FR point-to-point subifs (NOT multipoint)
- ATM point-to-point subifs
- FR-to-ATM links
- Prerequsites
- No Qos policy already configured on if
- CEF enabled on if
- Correct bandwidth configured on if
- IP address on low-speed if
- Configuring AutoQoS Enterprise on a router (NOT a switch)
- auto qos discovery – begins discovery process
- auto qos – generates and applies MQC-based policies
- Configuring AutoQoS VOIP
- auto qos voip [ trust | cisco-phone ]
- Verifying AutoQoS on router
- show auto discovery qos – get autodiscovery results
- show auto qos – examine configuration generated
- Number of classes
- Classification options
- Marking options
- Queuing mechanisms
- Other QoS mechanisms
- If, subif, PVC where policy is applied
- show policy-map interface – look at if stats
- Verify AutoQoS VOIP
- show auto qos
- show policy-map interface
- show mls qos maps – shows CoS to DSCP mappings
- Possible issues with AutoQoS
- Too many traffic classes – manually consolidate some
- Configuration doesn’t change – rerun AutoQoS
- Configuration may not fit your situation – fine-tune it by hand
- Fine-tuning AutoQoS
- Use QPM
- CLI
- copy policy into editor, change, reapply
- AutoQoS can match on characteristics besides ACLs and NBAR
- match input interface
- match cos
- match ip precedence
- match ip dscp
- match ip rtp
