Theoretically, setting TOS value ( these days called DSCP) wont change anything in switch behavior, unless you are using Layer 3 switches. What makes a difference in a switch is COS bits, and i'm not sure how asterisk sets that. I guess to be safe, you would need to create 2 VLANS and in the switch define on VLAN as a high priority VLAN.
