There has got to be someone on this board who has configured QoS on a C3 (or C5) securestack switch. Bueller? Bueller?

I have a DR site connected to my corporate office. The DR site is using a older C3G switch which is similar to the C5 Securestack line. The corporate office is using a N7 switch with platinum DFEs. My question is how do I configure QoS. The config guide and feature guide on the Extreme website might as well be in ancient Babylonian. It doesn't make any sense to me. All I'm trying to do is ensure VoIP traffic and my video conference system gets first priority. If the video conference is tagging packets as EF, why can't I just create an access-list in the (router) like this and assign it to a vlan interface.<br />
<br />
access-list 100 permit ip any any dscp ef assign-queue 5<br />
access-list 100 permit ip any any assign-queue 4<br />
<br />
This should work but I never lose my jitter on the video system and the Enterasys documentation doesn't ever seem to offer this as an example. <br />
<br />
P.S. Yes, I know this is rather old hardware. Don't get me started. :)

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.

Networking

A switch is a device that filters and forwards packets of data between LAN segments. Switches operate at the data link layer or the network layer of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model and therefore support any packet protocol. LANs that use switches to join segments are called switched LANs or, in the case of Ethernet networks, switched Ethernet LANs. A hub is a connection point for devices in a network. Hubs are commonly used to connect segments of a LAN. A hub contains multiple ports; when a packet arrives at one port, it is copied to the other ports so that all segments of the LAN can see all packets.

Switches / Hubs

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
