For those out there using Group Policy on your Lync or Skype for Business servers to configure QoS, I wanted to make sure you’re aware of a method to set your QoS markings via quick and easy PowerShell commands using. This PowerShell command is available in Windows Server 2012 R2 and up, which you’ll see most new deployments using, and Windows 8.1 and up, which isn’t always rolled out completely in an organization. Elan Shudnow created his authoritative QoS blogs a while back, which I live by and we will be referencing today. The 2013 versions are here:. Because I highly recommend the reading of these articles, and I reference them regularly myself, we will be using the same ports the Elan uses in his articles within our PowerShell commands.
Specifically, that means using the following non-default ranges:. Modifying application sharing from the default range of 5, which overlaps with audio and video ports, to the more unique range 1.

Hello, I need your Help please regarding to this request: I need to configure my switches ( 2960X ) so that packets with these DSCP values are tagged? ( They are already configured on Skype servers and clients ) Skype for Business Signaling, DSCP 28, source port TCP 5060:5079 Skype for Business Audio, DSCP 46, source port TCP/UDP 9 Skype for Business Video, DSCP 34, source port TCP/UDP 9 Skype for Business Application Sharing, DSCP 24, source port TCP/UDP 9 Skype for Business File Transfer, DSCP 14, source port TCP/UDP 9 Can you please help me with a procedure / steps / commands?
Thank you so much. Mls qos mls qos rewrite dscp int range gi1/0/1 - 48 auto qos trust dscp Keep in mind that QoS has to be setup to trust DSCP markings on every switch along a path.
If you have a switch trunked to another switch and it is not configured, you can lose the marking. It is easy to use Wireshark and test between two endpoints to verify that the packets are marked on both ends. It is also pretty easy to setup a group policy in Windows to push Skype settings to every computer so that packets are marked correctly. Unless they changed the application, it does not do that by default. Please mark helpful posts.
Hi, If IP packets are already tagged you can simply configure the switch to honour the DSCP: on the port you must configure the command mls qos trust dscp.
