Scenario details: Create the integrated service policy

  1. In iSeries™ Navigator, expand iSeries A > Network > IP Policies.
  2. Right-click Quality of Service and select Configuration to open the quality of service (QoS) Server Configuration window.
  3. On the QoS Server Configuration window, right-click the IntServ policy type and select New Policy to open the wizard.
  4. Read the Welcome page and click Next to go to the Name page.
  5. In the Name field, enter CEO_guaranteed and click Next. Optionally, you can enter a description to help you remember the intent of this policy.
  6. On the Clients page, select Specific address or addresses and click New to define your client.
  7. On the New Client window, enter the following information:
    • Name: Branch1
    • IP address: 190.86.23.1
    • Click OK to create the client and return to the integrated service wizard.
    After you click OK, you return to the policy wizard. If you have previous clients created, de-select them and verify that only relevant clients are selected. On the Applications page, select Specific port, range of ports, or server type and click New.
  8. On the New Application window, enter the following information and click OK to return to the wizard:
    • Name: IP telephony
    • Port: 2427
  9. On the Applications page, select Protocol and verify that TCP is selected. Click Next.
    Note: The application you select for an integrated service policy must be written to use the Resource Reservation Setup Protocol (RAPI) API or the qtoq sockets APIs. Along with the ReSerVation Protocol (RSVP), these APIs perform the integrated service reservation through the network. If you do not utilize these APIs, the application will not receive any prioritization or guarantee. It is also important to note that this policy enables your applications to receive priority through a network, but cannot guarantee it. All routers and servers along the traffic's path must also use the RSVP protocol to guarantee a reservation. An end-to-end reservation is dependent on participation throughout the network.
  10. On the Local IP address page, accept the default value, All IP addresses.
  11. On the Integrated Services Type page, select Guaranteed and click Next.
  12. On the Integrated Services Marking page, select No, do not assign a per-hop behavior and click Next.
  13. On the Integrated Services Performance Limits page, enter the following information and click Next:
    • Maximum number of flows: 1
    • Aggregate bandwidth limit (R): Do not limit
    • Token bucket size: 100 Kilobits
    • Bandwidth limit (R): 16 Megabits per second
  14. On the Schedule page, select Active during selected schedule and click New.
  15. On the New Schedule page, enter the following information and click OK:
    • Name: one_hour
    • Time of day: Active at specific times and add 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m.
    • Day of week: Active on specific day and select Monday.
  16. On the Schedule page, click Next.
  17. Review the Summary information. If accurate, click Finish to create the policy. The main QoS Server Configuration window lists all the policies created on the server. After you complete the wizard, the policy is listed in the right pane.
You are now finished configuring the integrated service policy on iSeries A. The next step is to start or update the server.
