Awareness | Cisco SG350 switch settings
Learn how to configure a Cisco SG350 switch for Q-SYS.
Information
While Q-SYS no longer validates switches (as testing is done at the University of New Hampshire InterOperability Laboratory), the Cisco SG350 switch can be set with the following suggested settings for Q-LAN or AES67 traffic.
- Make certain IEEE Green Power/Cable Length detection is turned off for the switch.
- Jumbo Frames should not be enabled.
- In Quality of Service -> General -> QoS Properties, select the QoS mode option of Basic and select the Apply button.
- Quality of Service -> General -> Queue -> select Strict Priority for all of the available Queues
- Quality of Service -> General -> DSCP to Queue -> set all Queues to 1, then adjust to the following and press the Apply button:
- If the design is set for Q-LAN
- 46(EF) = 7 (or the highest sometimes 5)
- 34(AF41) = 6 (or the second highest)
- 26(AF31) = 5 (or the third highest)
- all others leave at Output Queue of 1
- If the design is set for Audinate
- 56(CS7) = 7 (or the highest sometimes 5)
- 46(EF) =6 (or the second highest)
- 26(AF31) = 5 (or the third highest)
