Selecting WAN Frame Relay Connections

If the interface connections in the WAN segment of your network support Frame Relay configuration, this step of the wizard allows you to select the Frame Relay DLCI’s WAN links. When you assign a role to a DLCI, the role will also be assigned to the interface to which the DLCI belongs. QPM will configure both the DLCIs and the interfaces.

Note The IP Telephony wizard currently supports only Frame Relay to Frame Relay network configuration, and not Frame Relay to ATM configuration. QPM does include templates for Frame Relay to ATM connections; see Configuring QoS on ATM to Frame Relay Connections, page 7-20. QPM also includes ATM templates; see Configuring QoS on ATM Connections, page 7-20.

The wizard describes the tools that will be used to configure the QoS settings for these interfaces.

You must select all the Frame Relay interfaces (from both the central and the remote sites) that carry voice traffic. The wizard will automatically configure QoS separately for groups of interfaces, according to their link speed.

To select WAN Frame Relay connections:

Step 1 Select the interfaces on which to configure QoS for the Frame Relay WAN links, by selecting the check boxes next to the appropriate Frame Relay interfaces in the list.

For more information about the columns in this table, see IP Telephony Wizard: Select WAN Frame Relay Connections Page, page B-145.

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 WAN Frame Relay 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.

If the Display Configuration Info. check box is selected, the Configuration Info page appears. After reviewing the assignments summary, click Next.
