Getting a wrong DSCP value while configuring QOS settings

[Abhishek_Potdar]

Below is the config on my test environment. I am currently testing with NEC dTerm IP phones and C5K stacks.

Trying to make sure QOS settings are correct and the voice packets have high priority. However, when I trace my packets, I keep getting the DSCP value of 47 (2F) from the phones instead of 46 (2E) like I expect to see.

Could someone let me know where I might be going wrong? Or what I need to be looking at?

Thank you in Advance

The goal of the exercise changed.

Original goal:
LLDP-configure certain ports so that DSCP 46 advertises to connected IP Phones, and the phones in turn will use DSCP 46 in their transmitted traffic.

Evolved goal:
Policy-configure all ports so that any ingress traffic using UDP Source or Destination port value of 5060 or 5061 will be given Priority 6 and have its DSCP value set to 46.

The suggested - but ultimately unconfirmed as to result - configuration to accomplish this...

code:

set policy profile name VoIP cos-status

code:

set policy rule 77 udpdestport 5060 mask 15 cos 8

code:

set policy rule 77 udpsourceport 5060 mask 15 cos 8

code:

set policy port *.*.* 77

code:

set cos state enable

code:

set cos setting 8 priority 6 tos-value 184

Thanks for that possibility, Robert!

Note that there is a GTAC Support case opened today, with this question.
I expect to update this thread with the answer, when that has been determined.

I honestly do not know anything about Enterasys configurations, but I had a similar issue with Avaya phones and Summit switches lately. In the end the telephony guy told us that he configures which DSCP values the phones should use on the Communication Manager. And if that is configured, the phones will ignore whatever is told them via LLDP.
