QoS Classification before WAN Accelerator

I've inherited a semi large corporate network and want to get the QoS cleaned up a bit. The current network is a bit of a mess, so I am mostly looking at doing some classification and policing at the WAN routers for the near term solution. This has been done somewhat on the WAN router already, but most of the larger sites have riverbed WAN accelerators, so classifying traffic which isnt already marked with a DSCP value isn't really an option as it all gets sent out over one port to the riverbed device at the destination site.

This is what I have at one of the sites... LAN 3560 Riverbed Wan Router WAN

I'd like to do some classification on the 3560, apply DSCP values, have the riverbed pass those through and have the WAN router police on those. The riverbed passes through DSCP values, as my voice traffic that is marked at the phone goes through fine, so that shouldnt be an issue. I tried applying a policy on both the vlan and interfaces on the 3560, but havent had much luck.

When trying to apply the "service policy input classify" on the port leading to the Riverbed, I get...

- Remove policy failed for interface GigabitEthernet0/1 -

The first thought in my head is that I need CEF on to do 'set' based policies, but I havent applied too much QoS on a L3 switch before, so ya know.

Any ideas, or direction on how I can achieve my goal of doing some classification and setting the DSCP field on the 3560?

From Cisco: "Only one ACL per class map and only one match class-map configuration command per class map are supported. The ACL can have multiple ACEs, which match fields against the contents of the packet."

It's kinda lame, but I think the problem is in your voice class-map.

The easy answer: Auto QoS
