638 CHAPTER 15: PRIORITIZING NETWORK TRAFFIC
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.
