I've followed the commands in this post: DSCP trust boundary

policy-map MARKDOWN
  class class-default
    set dscp ef

Interface Config:

interface gig 0/1
  service-policy input MARKDOWN

The commands went in fine on the Cisco switch I'm using, but it doesn't re-mark the DSCP field.

Switch I'm using is Cisco C2960 Ver 12.2(25r)SEE1.

  1. is this just a possible bug
  2. does this command work OK with other switches?

  • By default that switch with that code should remark all traffic to BE, which is what you seem to want to do, so what you are doing is really pointless. How are you determining the DSCP value on the packets leaving the switch?

  • You are marking the traffic as it's already marked.

  • You still need an access list to tell the switch what you want to mark. You cannot change the default class.

Reset to default

so I managed to figure it out....

Turn on QoS using switch(config)#mls qos command

the original example now changes DSCP values from 0 to 46 ....

Mind you, this is for everything, but I can refine it with an ACL.

edit: I also realise that this is one interface, with mls qos it will default other interfaces to 0.... I've fixed this with another policy map which is the same as in the original example, except with a different name and trust DSCP instead of set
