Scenario details: Use the monitor to verify your policy is working

To verify that the policy is working as you configured it to work, do the following steps:

  1. On the quality of service (QoS) Server Configuration window, select Server > Monitor. The QoS Monitor window appears.
  2. Select the IntServ policy type. This will display all the IntServ policies.

    The most interesting fields are the fields that obtain their data from your traffic. Make sure to check the bits total, bits in-profile, and packets in-profile fields. Bits out-of-profile indicate that other traffic is getting delayed or dropped to satisfy this integrated services policy requirements. For a full description of the monitor fields, see the Monitor QoS section.

    Note: Remember that the results will only be accurate when the policy is active. Verify the schedule you specified within the policy. Also, the monitor only shows IntServ policies after the applications are running. A ReSerVation Protocol (RSVP) reservation has to be established before monitoring.
