is a lot easier and possibly good enough in most cases to use auto

<DIV>Hi Erik,<BR><BR>I'm no qos expert by any stretch, this is just what we do
and it seems to work out for us.. traffic markings come out end-to-end how we
want them to at least. If someone else sees something wrong with it i'd love to
hear it. <BR><BR>I've been using "auto qos voip trust" on both those instances,
i've been adding to that "mls qos trust dscp" to the callmanager ports and layer
3 links, because the auto trust statement seems to put mls qos trust cos
instead. To my understanding the callmanager servers mark their traffic with the
dscp bits. <BR><BR>Ed<BR><BR>
