More information on how to determine the appropriate field values is available in “Determining Field Values for Applications” on page 654.

Finish Step and Progress

Changes to your network traffic prioritization configuration are not applied to your network until you select Finish on the Configuration Summary screen. After selecting Finish, the Prioritize Network Traffic Wizard configures each of the supported 3Com devices in the map to prioritize network traffic according to your selected configuration. During the configuration of the devices, the Configuring Prioritization dialog is shown to indicate the progress.

You can cancel the configuration at any time. If you do cancel, the wizard will complete the configuration of the devices it was in the process of configuring before aborting. However, the configuration may then result in an inconsistent configuration across your network and so traffic may not receive end-to-end traffic prioritization. As a result, it is recommended that you do not cancel the configuration once it has started.

Prioritization Reports The following reports are produced through the traffic prioritization feature:

Agent Upgrades Required for Prioritization report

The Prioritize Network Traffic Wizard analyzes the details of your map to determine what devices the wizard can configure. If devices cannot be supported for either agent version or licensing reasons, it will inform you of this problem and subsequently generate an Agent Upgrades Required for Prioritization report.

For each device that the wizard cannot support due to its agent version, the report lists the following details:

■Device name

■Device type

■IP address

■The agent version that the device is currently running

■The minimum agent version that the device must be running for the wizard to configure traffic prioritization.
