HP-UX IPQoS Deployment Overview
The following procedure provides a high-level summary of the deployment process for HP-UX
IPQoS.
Step 1. Acquire and install HP-UX IPQoS. See Chapter 2, “Installing HP-UX IPQoS,” on
page 33 for more information.
Step 2. Create an HP-UX IPQoS configuration file. Configuration files are where specific
IPQoS behaviors are defined for an HP-UX system. Configuration files contain the
filters, policies and adapter assignments HP-UX IPQoS uses. See Chapter 4,
“HP-UX IPQoS Configuration Files,” on page 55 for more information.
NOTE The above step describes how to implement the HP-UX IPQoS
strategies your organization has determined are important, not on
determining what these should be. It is beyond the scope of this guide
to recommend specific HP-UX IPQoS policies for your organization.
Step 3. Verify and load your HP-UX IPQoS configuration file, using the HP-UX IPQoS
utility ipqosadmin. See Chapter 5, “Administering HP-UX IPQoS,” on page 79 for
more information. You must have superuser (root) access to run ipqosadmin.
Step 4. Monitor the statistics of the your active HP-UX IPQoS configuration using
ipqosadmin -showstats. See “Showing Statistics” on page 94 in Chapter 5,
“Administering HP-UX IPQoS,” for more information.
Step 5. Repeat steps 2 - 4 as needed.
