i think your giving me a solution for the outgoing queue. the problem is on the incoming queue, 1P1Q0T. when i do a show queueing the receive queue is not showing cos 5 mapped to the receive queue 2. I also dont have the option to map cos 5 to incoming queue 2 and i read someone on cisco's site that cos 5 should be mapped to receive queue 2. btw i do have everything else working and setup.

core.frv.ma(config-if)#rcv-queue cos-map ?
  <1-1>  enter cos-map queue id

can't put 2

Queueing Mode In Rx direction: mode-cos
Receive queues [type = 1p1q0t]:
Queue Id    Scheduling  Num of thresholds
-----------------------------------------
   1         Standard            0
   2         Priority            1

queue-limit ratios:    100[queue 1]   0[queue 2]

queue thresh cos-map
---------------------------------------
1     1      0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
2     1

Ok, understood.

To map CoS values to the receive and transmit strict-priority queues:
http://tools.cisco.com/squish/2965e

6500(config)# interface gigabitethernet 1/1
6500(config-if)# priority-queue cos-map 1 7

Again, you might only see option as 1.
When mapping CoS values to the strict-priority queues,

the queue 'number' in the configuration is always 1.
(It does not mean its applied to queue 1 )

Do the configuration and paste the complete output of:
show queueing interface <>

SId,

the problem is on the RX queue, as you will see from the command below the TX cos maps are corrected. The RX queue as all COS value mapped to queue 1 instead of having cos 5 mapped to RX priority queue which is the default from the cisco documentation i read but my output doesnt show this.

I read on the forum that it might be realted to the fact the that interface is not a trunk and not seeing COS thus not mapping COS 5 to the priority queue on the incoming. Also issuing the command you listed below does not do anything for the RX queue. Again its odd that the RX queue is not showing what cisco says is the default, cos 5 mapped to rx queue 2. (see below for example)

here is the interface

interface FastEthernet1/15
bandwidth 44736
ip address xxx
no ip route-cache
load-interval 30
mls qos trust dscp
hold-queue 100 in

here is what i have:

chad the problem is that the lan card i'm using only supports incoming COS mode. Since im trusting DSCP and not COS on some ports, and all ports 1-48 are on the same ASIC it will not map cos 5 to the incoming priority queue. if i was trust all cos it would work per default, mapping cos 5 to incoming incoming priority queue 2.

Hi Paul,

Have you tried configure ingress queue based on DSCP? Check section 'Configuring Ingress DSCP-Based Queue Mapping' on the fololwing link:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/catalyst6500/ios/12.2SX/configuration/guide/qos.html

HTH,

Lei Tian

i was just about to update this.

here is what i did that worked, the fast-ethernet card im using only supports cos-mode "Queueing Mode In Rx direction: mode-cos" because all 48 ports on that card use the same ASIC if you configure some ports to trust DSCP and other to trust COS the default incoming queue mappings will not take place, so cos 5 will not be mapped to incoming priority queue 2. What needs to happen is you need to trust COS on all the ports and then use a policy map to trust DSCP on some ports instead of trusting DSCP on the port itself. This is what worked for me, thanks to  Peter Rathlev from the cisco-nsp list.
