<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Does any one have good experience on the use of auto QoS in
an IP Telephony solution. The scenario is as follows. Centralised call manager
and remote branches with IP phones. Locations, regions etc. All working fine.
At remote branches we have a voice gateway with a trunk to the local lan switch
(two subinterfaces – one for data vlan and one for voice vlan)<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Currently at branches we use auto-QoS VoIP cisco-phone on
all the 3560 series switchports connection to cisco phones and the same at HQ
on the 4500 series switches. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

recommended for the trunk interface on the switch between the branch

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>The auto QoS on the phone ports are working fine and I would
prefer to use auto-QoS for the additional links too where possible, excluding
the WAN links on the MPLS cloud where we have configured QoS manually. Mainly
because it is easier and consistent.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
