Selecting Router WAN to Switch Connections

In this step, the wizard sets QoS for the WAN router connection to the access (layer 2 QoS aware) switch in the branch office (network point 9 in Figure 7-1).

By default, a router trusts the interface to a distribution (layer 3 QoS aware) switch, so no special QoS is required on the router input direction.

For example, in Figure 7-1, there is no need to set QoS for the router connection to the Catalyst 6000 distribution switch in the campus. In addition, no special QoS is required on the output direction, since the layer 3 switch knows to trust DSCP from the router and sets the CoS bits accordingly. However, if the switch has only layer 2 QoS capabilities, the router must classify traffic on input and set layer 2 CoS bits on output.

To select Router WAN to Switch connections:

Step 1 Select the switch interfaces on which to configure QoS for the router interfaces to the distribution and access switches, by selecting the check boxes next to the appropriate interfaces in the list.

For more information about the columns in this table, see IP Telephony Wizard: Select Router WAN to Switch Connections Page, page B-141.

Step 2 To remove any interfaces that were previously assigned for this voice role:

a.Click the Remove button in the Advanced section of the page.

A page appears, displaying the interfaces assigned for the Router WAN to Switch voice role.

For more information about this page, see IP Telephony Wizard: Remove Network Elements Page, page B-132.

b.Select the interfaces you want to unassign and click Remove.

The page closes.

Step 3 Click Next.
