Enabling Pass-Through Mode

In software releases earlier than Release 12.1(11)EA1, the switch is in pass-through mode. It uses the
CoS value of incoming packets without modifying the DSCP value and sends the packets from one of
the four egress queues. You cannot enable or disable pass-through mode if your switch is running a
software release earlier than Release 12.1(11)EA1.
In Release 12.1(11)EA1 or later, the switch assigns a CoS value of 0 to all incoming packets without
modifying the packets. The switch offers best-effort service to each packet regardless of the packet
contents or size and sends it from a single egress queue.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to enable pass-through mode:
Command
Step 1
configure terminal
Step 2

Step 5

Step 6
copy running-config startup-config
To disable pass-through mode, use the no mls qos trust pass-through dscp interface configuration
command.
If you enter the mls qos cos override and the mls qos trust [cos | dscp] interface commands when
pass-through mode is enabled, pass-through mode is disabled.
If you enter the mls qos trust cos pass-through dscp interface configuration command when the mls
qos cos override and the mls qos trust [cos | dscp] interface commands are already configured,
pass-through mode is disabled.
