Classification and Marking
The Catalyst 5000 Family of switches bases classification solely on Layer 2 CoS values.
Although the switch can rewrite Layer 3 IP precedence values in specific configurations,
the switch does not use ToS values, including IP precedence values or DSCP values to make
any QoS classification, marking, or congestion avoidance decisions. With regard to classi-
fication, the Catalyst 5000 Family of switches is similar to the Catalyst 4000 CatOS Family
of switches and the Catalyst 2900XL and 3500XL switches.
