[c-nsp] QOS Configuration Help

Some other things to watch out for are your trunk links and port channels.
For example, on a 3750/3560 you would configure trust dscp on the physical
member interfaces not the port channel. If for example you have channels on
a 4500 you should put the trust commands on both the port channel as well as
the physical member interfaces. This has specifically caused me issues with
removing markings in the past, the 4500 will strip it if you don't have it
on the port channel too.
