1. Introduction
These Application Notes describe the configuration of a Voice over IP (VoIP) solution using ProCurve 5400, 3500 and 2600 Series Switches by HP connected to an Avaya Communication Manager, Avaya SIP Enablement Services, Avaya Modular Messaging and Avaya IA770 INTUITY AUDIX. Compliance testing emphasis was placed on verifying the prioritization of VoIP traffic and voice quality in a converged VoIP and data network scenario. Quality of Service (QoS) based on Layer 2 Priority (802.1p) and Layer 3 Differentiated Services (Diffserv) was implemented across the network to prioritize voice traffic over the LAN. The Avaya IP Telephones get QoS priority settings from Avaya Communication Manager and are enforced in the network by the ProCurve Switches. To verify VoIP traffic was given priority over data traffic tests were performed by over subscribing the LAN interfaces with low priority data traffic and verifying that acceptable voice quality was achieved when calls were routed over all of the LAN interfaces. Compliance testing included QoS, throughput, link aggregation, rapid spanning tree, load balancing, Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), Direct IP Media connectivity and the G.711 and G.729 codecs.

2. Hardware Configuration
The configuration in Figure 1 shows a single site converged VoIP and data network with multiple closets and labs configured with link aggregation, rapid spanning tree, load balancing and OSPF.
For compliance testing, a centralized corporate DHCP server was used. To better manage the different traffic types, the voice and data traffic were separated onto different VLANs.

4. Configure Avaya Communication Manager
This section shows the steps used to configure Avaya Communication Manager. For detailed information on the installation, maintenance, and configuration of Avaya Communication Manager, refer to [1].
4.1.Configure QoS on Avaya Communication Manager
IP networks were originally designed to carry data on a
In order to achieve prioritization of VoIP traffic, the VoIP traffic must be classified. The Avaya S8300 Server, Avaya G700 Media Gateway, Avaya SIP Enablement Services and Avaya IP telephones support both Layer 2 802.1.p/Q priority and Layer 3 DiffServ.

All network components are in network region 1 for this sample configuration. The DiffServ and 802.1P/Q values configured here will be downloaded to the Avaya H.323 IP telephones via Avaya Communication Manager. Avaya SIP IP telephones will get QoS settings by downloading the 46xxsettings file from the HTTP server. For more information on QoS settings, please refer to [1].

The Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) value of 46 is used for both PHB values. DSCP 46 represents the Traffic Class of Premium and the Traffic Type Voice.
Note: The PHB and DSCP values used above (i.e. 6 and 46) will be used consistently throughout the configuration of the ProCurve switches. The DSCP value used above is in decimal whereas the value used for ProCurve switch configuration later will be in binary (i.e. 101110).
5. Configure the ProCurve 5406zl Switch
This section addresses how to configure the ProCurve 5406zl Switch. The ProCurve 5406zl Switch is used as the core Layer 2/Layer 3 router, enforces QoS policies and supports link aggregation, OSPF and spanning tree.
To configure the ProCurve 5406zl Switch, connect a PC or laptop to the serial port of the ProCurve 5406zl Switch. Run a terminal emulation program with the following configuration:
Bits per second: 9600
Data bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop bits: 1
Flow Control: None
