Selecting IP Telephony Devices

In this step of the wizard, you select the devices that you want to participate in the current IP Telephony wizard session. All the devices in the device group that support IP telephony features (according to model and OS) are displayed in a table. The wizard will configure only the network elements from the selected devices. By default, the wizard selects all the devices.

Devices that do not support IP telephony are not displayed. If required, you can open the Voice Ready report to see all the devices in the current device group and whether or not they support QoS for voice.

If you opened the IP Telephony wizard before you added or imported your devices, no devices will be displayed in the table. In this case, you must add or import devices into the device inventory.

Click Cancel to exit the wizard, and open the Add/Import Devices wizard (see Adding Devices to the Device Inventory, page 4-3).

Some devices, such as Catalyst 6000 and Catalyst 4000 switches, require global device configuration. If any of the selected devices require global device configuration, the wizard immediately assigns them to the appropriate voice policy groups with a Voice Device voice role. Clicking the link on this page opens an information window describing this feature.

To select IP Telephony devices:

Step 1 In the table, check the check boxes next to the devices you want to configure for voice QoS.

For more information about the columns in this table, see IP Telephony Wizard: Select IP Telephony Devices Page, page B-128.

Step 2 To view the Voice Ready report, click the Voice Ready report link.
