1 Overview

QoS Manager is a tool that enables you to configure Quality of Service or Class of Service on a device.
Topics
• Starting QoS Manager
• Main Window
• Basic Operations
• Menus
• Device Support
1 Overview

2 Starting QoS Manager

QoS Manager can be started from Device Manager or from the command line. In a Windows environment, QoS Manager can be started from the AlliedView­EMS program folder or from the Run command of the Start menu.
You can start QoS Manager from Device Manager by clicking on Tool > QoS Manager on the main menu or by clicking on the QoS Manager icon toolbar. If Device Manager is connected to a device, target host information is automatically passed on to QoS Manager so that the QoS configuration of the device can be retrieved and displayed in QoS Manager's main window.
2 Starting QoS Manager
on the

3 Main Window

When started, QoS Manager displays one of the following windows, depending on how it is started.
Topics:
• Initial Window
• QoS/CoS Information Window
3 Main Window

3.1 Initial Window

If the target host is not specified, or if one or more connection parameters do not match what is configured on the host, the following window appears.
Initial Window
To specify a target host from this window, select File → Open . If the target host is a device model that is supported by QoS Manager, the QoS/CoS Information Window displaying the target host's QoS/CoS configuration will appear.
3 Main Window

3.2 QoS/CoS Information Window

Depending on whether the target host is a QoS-based or a CoS-based device, QoS Manager will display the appropriate information window.
QoS Information Window
CoS Information Window
The QoS/CoS Information Window displays the QoS/CoS configuration of the device being managed. QoS/CoS information is organized via tabs with each tab corresponding to a QoS/CoS element. Each QoS/CoS element is presented in a table format with each row representing one instance of the element.
QoS/CoS elements, as well as the fields available under each element, may vary from one device series to another. Refer to Section 6 - Device Support for the specific attributes displayed for each device series.

4 Basic Operations

This chapter discusses the basic operations within QoS Manager windows.
Topics
• Add
• Modify
• Delete
• Inline Table Editing
• Apply
4 Basic Operations
AlliedView™-EMS 3.10 QoS Manager User’s Guide Page 11 of 128

4.1 Add

The Add operation is only available on QoS-based devices and only for the following QoS elements:
• Classifiers
• Flow Groups
• Traffic Classes
• Policies
To add a new instance of a QoS element, click on the Add button to display the Add window.
The Add window is presented as a two-column table (Property Sheet). The left column represents the available fields for the QoS element, while the right column represents their corresponding values.
During an Add operation, all field values are initially blank.
AlliedView™-EMS 3.10 QoS Manager User’s Guide Page 12 of 128
To configure a field, click on the value cell of that field. Depending on the field being configured, the value cell will become one of the following:
• Editable - a value is keyed in manually
• Dropdown Selection - a single value is selected from a pre-defined list of
values
• Editable Dropdown Selection - a single value can either be selected from
a pre-defined list of values or keyed in manually
• Multiple Selection - one or more values can be selected from a pre-
defined list of values. To select multiple contiguous values, hold down the Shift key while selecting items from the list. To select multiple non­contiguous values, hold down the Ctrl key while selecting items from the list.
After setting all the desired fields, you can complete the Add operation by clicking the OK button.
If you wish to cancel the operation, click on the Cancel button.
4 Basic Operations
AlliedView™-EMS 3.10 QoS Manager User’s Guide Page 13 of 128

4.2 Modify

The Modify operation is only available on QoS-based devices and only for the following QoS elements:
• Classifiers
• Flow Groups
• Traffic Classes
• Policies
To modify the field values of an existing instance of a QoS element, select a table row from the QoS Information Window then click on the Modify button.
The Modify window is the same as the Add window except that the value cells will now contain the values which were previously set.
The procedure for modifying a field value is the same as that used in the Add operation.
AlliedView™-EMS 3.10 QoS Manager User’s Guide Page 14 of 128
After modifying or setting all the desired fields, you can complete the Modify operation by clicking the OK button.
If you wish to cancel the operation without applying the changes, click on the Cancel button.
4 Basic Operations
AlliedView™-EMS 3.10 QoS Manager User’s Guide Page 15 of 128

4.3 Delete

The Delete operation is only available on QoS-based devices and only for the following QoS elements:
• Classifiers
• Flow Groups
• Traffic Classes
• Policies
To delete an instance of a QoS element, select a table row from the QoS Information Window then click on the Delete button.
As a safety measure, before the selected element is deleted, you will be asked to confirm the action.
4 Basic Operations
AlliedView™-EMS 3.10 QoS Manager User’s Guide Page 16 of 128

4.4 Inline Table Editing

Inline table editing is available for both QoS-based and CoS-based devices. It makes it relatively easy to manipulate table data directly on-screen without having to use a Submit button or to go into some kind of 'edit' mode. For QoS­based devices, inline table editing is used to configure table fields in the Add and Modify operations as well as in the Ports and Scheduling tabs. For CoS-based devices, inline table editing is used to configure table fields in all tabs.
Inline table editing is similar to the process of configuring a field as described in the Add operation. Refer to Section 4.1 - Add
Note - When modifying a field that contains a non-blank value to blank, the
following rules are observed:
.
• If "none" is a valid value, field will be set to "none".
• If "any" is a valid value, field will be set to "any".
• If neither "none" nor "any" is valid, field will be set to the last accepted
value for that field.
4 Basic Operations
AlliedView™-EMS 3.10 QoS Manager User’s Guide Page 17 of 128

4.5 Apply

QoS/Cos configuration changes made through Add/Modify/Delete operations or Inline Table Editing will not be immediately reflected on the device. QoS Manager just stores these changes locally until an Apply operation is performed.
To apply QoS/CoS configuration changes to the device, click on the Apply button.
As a safety measure, before the operation is performed, you will be asked to confirm the action.
During the operation, a progress window will be displayed to indicate the status of the operation. At any point in time, you may cancel the operation by clicking the Cancel button.
AlliedView™-EMS 3.10 QoS Manager User’s Guide Page 18 of 128
When the operation is completed, a Results/Summary window will be displayed. This window will indicate whether the operation was successful or not. Also, this window will display a log of the commands that were issued to the device in the course of the operation.
If the operation was successful, the Save Configuration button will be enabled to allow you to save the applied changes to the configuration file of the device.
To close the Results/Summary window, click on the OK button.
After the Results/Summary window closes, QoS Manager will perform a refresh operation by retrieving the QoS/CoS Settings from the device. This is done to ensure that the settings between the device and QoS Manager are synchronized.
