Switch Configuration Example for Q-SYS™ Platform
Switch Configuration Example for Q-SYS? Platform
Cisco Catalyst 3560 and 3750 Series
Important Note
This switch configuration example is intended to serve as a network setup guideline for systems using only Q-LAN audio streaming within
your Q-SYS system and should be used alongside the Q-SYS Q-LAN Networking Overview tech note for deeper setup insight. Keep
in mind that QSC is unable to provide live network configuration support for third-party switch configuration. To learn more about network
switch qualification services and the plug-and-play Q-SYS NS Series preconfigured network switches, visit

Introduction
As of release 5.3.x, Q-SYS Designer software now supports AES67-standard interoperability. The AES67 standard does not prescribe
a method of discovery for devices so manufacturers are free to implement one or more discovery services for their devices. In this
configuration document, the process uses Bonjour as the discovery method for AES67 devices.
Q-SYS Designer now also offers a selection of Differential Services Code Point (DSCP) setting presets to optimize Quality of Service (QoS)
for different types of deployment. DSCP codes are a six-bit value placed in the IP header of data packet, and they instruct a network switch
to handle various types of data with defined levels of priority that ensure proper QoS.
Configuration
Initial configuration (IP address setup) of a Cisco Catalyst switch involves pressing and holding ts status button, connecting a computer to
any Ethernet port on the switch, and accessing a web-based setup utility. The Cisco Catalyst Getting Started Guide (PDF) describes the
process in higher detail.

Reset
If the switch had been previously configured for a different use, we recommend that you restore it to factory defaults and/or perform an
IP and system setup. Do this through either the web interface as described in the Getting Started Guide or from the command line as
described below.
1.
Type enable and press Enter to log into the switch and go into privileged EXEC mode:
2.
Type erase startup-config and press Enter to erase the configuration file.
3.
Type reload and press Enter to reboot the switch.
Basic setup
These next steps re for a basic functional configuration for Q-SYS. Integrate these configurations with any others required for the
installation.
1.
Type enable and press Enter to log into the switch and go into privileged EXEC mode.
2.
Type configure terminal and press Enter to go into configuration mode.
3.
Type mls qos and press Enter to enable QoS globally.
4.
Type mls qos queue-set output 1 buffers 10 25 25 40 and press Enter to allocate additional buffers for audio traffic
class.
5.
Type mls qos queue-set output 1 threshold 4 100 100 100 100 and press Enter to configure the audio class buffers.
6.
Type no mls qos rewrite ip dscp and press Enter to enable DSCP transparency mode.
7.
Type interface range GigabitEthernet? 0/1-28 and press Enter to configure all gigabit interfaces.
8.
Type mls qos trust dscp and press Enter to trust (honor) incoming DSCP value to classify traffic.
9.
Type priority-queue out and press Enter to enable strict priority mode for egress queue 1.
10. Type srr-queue bandwidth share 1 1 1 255 and press Enter to get as close to strict priority queuing as possible for egress
queue 4.
11. Type exit and press Enter to exit the interface configuration.
10-gigabit per second uplink
If the 10 Gb/s uplink module is installed, it will require these additional configurations:
1.
Type interface range TenGigabitEthernet? 0/1-2 and press Enter to configure all 10 gigabit interfaces.
2.
Type mls qos trust dscp and press Enter to trust (honor) incoming DSCP value to classify traffic.

queue 4.
5.
Type exit and press Enter to exit interface configuration.
6.
Type end and press Enter to exit configuration mode and save configuration.
7.
Type copy running-config startup-config and press Enter to save the settings for subsequent reboots.
