Chapter 7 Provisioning: Configuring QoS for IP Telephony

Configuring QoS Using the IP Telephony Wizard

The following assignments summary information may be displayed:

•The total number of network elements you selected in this configuration step.

•The number of network elements that were selected, but found to be previously assigned to voice policies with this voice role.

•The number of network elements that were newly assigned to a voice policy with this voice role. (This may include elements that were previously assigned to voice policy groups with different voice roles.)

•The number of network elements that were selected in this configuration step, but were not assigned to the voice role because they have no policies for this voice role. These elements appear in the selection list because they have the same interface type as other elements that can be selected.

For example, although GigabitEthernet interfaces have the same interface type as FastEthernet interfaces, they cannot be connected to an IP phone. During IP phone configuration, these interfaces will not be assigned to voice policy groups for the IP Phones voice role.

•The number of related assignment elements. These are network elements that were not selected (or were not in the selection table), but were assigned to voice policy groups to complete the configuration correctly. For example, when you configure traffic shaping on a DLCI, you must also enable it on a main frame-relay interface.

•The number of reassigned network elements. If network elements were found to be already assigned to voice policy groups with different voice roles, the wizard overrides the previous assignment and assigns them to voice policies with the new voice role.

From this assignment summary page, you can also view detailed information about a voice policy group, and a list of the newly assigned network elements.

You work through each step of the wizard by clicking the Next button in each page, or you can use the Navigation TOC that is displayed on the left side of each page to move directly to the step you want to do.

Clicking Next to move to the next configuration step, or selecting another step forward in the Navigation TOC, saves the voice policies and the assignments that were made for that voice role, to the deployment group.

Clicking Cancel, Back, or selecting another step backward in the Navigation TOC, undoes any configuration changes you made in that step.

If the Display Configuration Info check box is selected, clicking Next opens the assignments summary page for that configuration step.

The voice policies will be saved in the policy group, but the assignment of interfaces to them will not be saved.

After reviewing your assignments summary, clicking Next in this page saves both the voice policy groups and the interface assignments, and opens the next step of the wizard.

Step-by-step procedures for configuring QoS using the IP Telephony wizard, are described in the following sections.
