Below is an example of a  quick start quality of service configuration.  We will walk through this configuration over the phone.

 

Apply the below under global configuration mode:

 

Config t

 

class-map match-any Voice
 match ip dscp ef

class-map match-any Routing

  match ip dscp cs6

class-map match-any Call-Signaling

  match ip dscp cs3

policy-map QOS
 class Voice
  priority percent 5
 class Routing
  bandwidth percent 5

class Call-Signaling

   bandwidth percent 5
 class class-default
  bandwidth percent 60

  queue-limit 256

 

Then apply the qos policy, in the outbound direction, to the interface:

 

interface "interface-name"

service-policy output QOS

 

We set DSCP CS3 for call-signaling. Some older devices use AF31 instead.  If this is the case then add AF31 to your call-signaling class-map.

 

class-map match-any Call-Signaling

  match ip dscp cs3

  match ip dscp af31
