You probably have your switch set to trust the phone's markings, so it's the phone setting the DSCP bits.<div><br></div><div>Having the markings set without a policy doesn't do you any good. Each device along the path is just going to treat the packet the same as the other packets.</div>

<p style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">If you get the packet capture
into Wireshark, you can (in addition to checking for the DSCP == EF) measure
the latency to see if QoS is doing its job.<br>
<br>
>From a router, though, you can check your policy maps with "show
policy-map" or "show policy-map interface", it will tell you if
a policy is applied and what it's doing. You're looking for a priority
queue.<br>
<br>
The Cisco QoS SRND is a good way to understand QoS. It's hefty, but most
of the details are duplicated for every model of switch.<br>

<p><span style="color:#1F497D">The biggest thing you are looking for is that
the voice traffic is being marked and that the marking is being recognized
throughout the network. A packet capture is the quickest way to determine
this. In the packet capture, you will see a field for Differentiated Services.
For traffic that is the actual audio payload, you should see the Differentiated
Services field as Expedited Forwarding. You will want to check packets going in
each direction. </span></p>
<p><span style="color:#1F497D"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color:#1F497D">On the switches, for ports that have a phone
plugged in you should see that the switchport is configured to trust cos and is
configured to trust based on the device being a cisco phone (mls qos trust cos
and mls qos trust cisco-phone). What these commands look like can vary
according to the model of switch. </span></p>
<p><span style="color:#1F497D"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color:#1F497D">For any connection that is a voice server or
voice gateway, the switchport should trust the dscp value (mls qos trust dscp).
This should also be true on uplinks from switch to switch and from switch to
WAN router.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#1F497D"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color:#1F497D">On the WAN router, depending upon the speed of
your connection you should be using some sort of low latency queuing and/or
traffic shaping.</span></p>
