QOS N00B

I have created a config on my access switches to mark traffic as it Cisco best practice.

​

What I am attempting to figure out is, My agg switches (4500X) are configured as L2 to the core. on my access switch I have a COS to DSCP mapping.

Given that the traffic should be marked as it egresses the access switch do I need to simply trust the COS value as it enters my agg switch? Then from the agg to the Core trust DSCP?

​

To further quantify my question, is there any further classifying that needs to occur between the agg and the core, or do I just trust the marking's as they leave the access switch, and the trust will set the ef values and so forth as the traffic traverses the network?
