[c-nsp] QoS and the Catalyst 4506e

[Steven Pfister]

I'm trying to set up a new switch, a 4506e, for a remote site. Most of our newer remote sites are using a 4506 and this is the first time I'm working with a 4506e. Our standard configuration, which was in use before I started here, has QoS settings. I'm not that familiar with QoS, but I've read some about it and I have some idea as to what most of it does. Most of the QoS commands in our standard config aren't working in the 4506e. Does the 4506e have QoS? Is there some guide as to setting it up? Below are excerpts from the config we're using that are QoS related:
