HP Network Direr Software Products Manually set up classifiers, dropping, queuing and marking

Components 631

These devices would be configured with mappings between classification rules and service levels as shown in Table 100:

Table 100 DiffServ Codepoints and Service Levels

Classification Rule	Service Level
Traffic marked with DiffServ codepoint 16	Business Critical Service Level
Traffic marked with DiffServ codepoint 24	CEO’s Service Level
Traffic marked with DiffServ codepoint 46	Voice Service Level
Traffic marked with DiffServ codepoint 0	All Other Traffic Service Level

When these devices receive packets they can simply examine the DiffServ codepoint field of the packets to determine the service level, rather than performing the more complex analysis that they are incapable of.

Components	The following section describes the principles of traffic prioritization using
	3Com Network Director.

Prioritize Network The Prioritize Network Traffic Wizard enables you to simplify traffic Traffic Wizard prioritization configuration on your network without the need to

manually set up classifiers, dropping, queuing and marking.

The Prioritize Network Traffic Wizard is launched from Tools > Prioritize

Network Traffic.

The wizard allows you to select:

■Servers that traffic should be prioritized to and from.

■Servers whose traffic (transmitted or received) should be blocked on your network.

■Applications whose traffic you would like to prioritize.

■Applications whose traffic should be blocked on your network.

In addition, the wizard automatically detects whether or not you have an NBX telephony solution in your network and, if you do, automatically selects NBX phone traffic for prioritization.
