168 CHAPTER 8: PRIORITIZING NETWORK TRAFFIC
Network Prioritization Report
The Prioritize Network Traffic Wizard automatically generates a Network
Prioritization report after it has completed the configuration of your
network for traffic prioritization. The Network Prioritization report details
the following:
■ The servers whose traffic has been prioritized.
■ The applications whose traffic has been prioritized.
■ The servers whose traffic the network has been configured to block.
■ The list of applications whose traffic the network has been configured
to block.
■ The devices in the network that were successfully configured.
■ The devices in the network that the wizard failed to configure. 3Com
Network Administrator reports a reason for each failure.
■ Detailed information about the configuration applied to the devices,
including any restrictions as to what the devices will do in terms of
prioritization and blocking.
Prioritization Configuration Report
If you wish to view the details of the configurations in terms of classifiers,
queuing, dropping and marking, run the Prioritization Configuration
report. This report can be run by selecting Tools > Reports.
For each device that the report is run against, the Prioritization
Configuration report lists:
■ The classifiers that are in use on each port
■ The service levels that the classifiers map to
■ The details of each classifier that is currently in use on the device
■ The details of each service level that is currently in use on the device
The report can help you determine whether you have applied a consistent
end-to-end traffic prioritization configuration in your network. This is
particularly useful if you have decided to manually configure your devices.
Whenever you run the Prioritization Configuration report, 3Com Network
Administrator retrieves the configuration information directly from the
supported 3Com devices in your network. As this report must poll each of
the devices for data it may take several minutes to run.
