Verification Steps, Conclusion, Test Results

9.2. Test Results

All feature functionality, serviceability, and performance test cases passed. The ProCurve implementation did prioritize VoIP traffic and yielded good voice quality with no calls being lost. The stability of the Avaya/ProCurve solution was successfully verified through performance and serviceability testing.

10. Verification Steps

This section provides the steps for verifying end-to-end network connectivity and QoS in the field from the perspective of the ProCurve 5406zl Switch. In general, the verification steps include:

1.Verify the DHCP relay on the ProCurve switches is functioning by confirming that the IP telephones receive their IP addresses from the DHCP server connected to the ProCurve 5406zl Switch.

2.Check that the Avaya IP telephones have successfully registered with Avaya Communication Manager by using the list registered-ip-stationscommand.

3.Place internal and external calls between the digital telephone and IP telephones at each site.

11. Conclusion

These Application Notes describe the configuration steps required for integrating ProCurve switches with an Avaya telephony infrastructure. For the configuration described in these Application Notes, the ProCurve switches were responsible for enforcing QoS using Diffserv and 802.1p as well as link aggregation, rapid spanning tree, load balancing and OSPF. Avaya Communication Manager delivered the voice traffic to the routers for transmission over the LAN together with data traffic. Prioritization of VoIP traffic and good voice quality was successfully achieved in the Avaya/ProCurve configuration described herein.
