•About QPM

•What's New?

About QPM

QoS Policy Manager (QPM) lets you analyze traffic throughput by application or service class, and then leverage that information to configure QoS policies. You can configure these policies to differentiate traffic and to define the QoS functions to be applied to each type of traffic flow.

QPM also allows you to use QoS policies to monitor network traffic based on historical, real-time, or threshold analysis.

By simplifying QoS policy definition and deployment, QPM makes it easier for you to create and manage end-to-end differentiated services in your network, thus making more efficient and economical use of your existing network resources.

For example, you can deploy policies that ensure that your mission-critical applications always get the bandwidth required to run your business.

QPM is suitable for large-scale enterprise deployments, and IP telephony deployments, consisting of hundreds or thousands of devices. QPM helps you to manage large networks by providing advanced user authorization capabilities through integration with Cisco Access Control Server (ACS).

QPM runs on the CiscoWorks Common Services server. This server provides the infrastructure required by QPM to run from the CiscoWorks desktop environment, and also provides management of user roles and privileges, allowing you to control access to specific tasks in QPM.

What's New?

QPM 4.1 is a major release to restructure the QoS Management product line after the release of QPM 4.0.3, by adding significant new features with updated device/OS support.

The following new features are added in QoS Policy Manager 4.1:

•QPM 4.1 is integrated with CiscoWorks Common Services 3.2.

•New User Interface based on CUES (Cisco User Experience Standards).

•Customization of QPM Dashboard—You can customize the Dashboard page in QPM by adding the available portlets and changing the layout of the content area of the portlets.

•Availability of QPM view in LMS Portal—If you have installed LMS Portal with Common Services 3.2, a separate view for QPM is available in LMS Portal. You can also create new views for specific features in QPM.

•Availability of Cisco TelePresence compatible policy—You can configure thresholds for circuit utilization and class utilization for the Cisco TelePresence compatible policy. You can receive notifications as SNMP trap or email, for the threshold violations. This helps you to optimize the traffic in the TelePresence circuit.

•Support for NBAR PD monitoring—NBAR PD (Protocol Discovery) monitoring helps you to separately monitor the protocols in the inbound and outbound traffic through device interfaces. This helps you to understand the protocol traffic before you deploy QoS policies on devices.

•Support for Port-QoS monitoring—QPM uses the Cisco Port QoS MIB to provide monitoring capabilities for each port. Both Real Time charts and Historical Monitoring charts are displayed to provide the QoS statistical information for each port.

•SNMP v3 support—QPM allows you to discover the device using SNMP v3 credentials, if these credentials are available on the device.

•Command Service Library support—QPM supports Command Service Library (CmdSvc) to enable you to select the login protocol among SSHv2, SSHv1, and Telnet, while re-discovering devices.

•Support for secondary DCR credentials such as Secondary Username, Secondary Password, Secondary Enable Password. This helps you to discover devices even if the primary credentials fail.

•Support for ATM PVC Monitoring—QPM 4.1 supports real time and historical monitoring of ATM multipoint sub-interfaces with VCs and PVCs. You can select VCs and PVC bundles configured on the interface for monitoring.

•Support for monitoring of child policies—You can monitor the interfaces based on the child policy available under a parent policy that is deployed on the interfaces.

•Support for VMware ESX Server 3.0.2 and 3.5.0.

•Support for Microsoft Windows Vista client.

•Support for Solaris 10 OS.

•Support for NCM Event Notification—You can integrate QPM with NCM to receive event notification in QPM for device configuration change and image upgrade. The event notifications from NCM to QPM help you to synchronize the device level changes with QPM.

•Support for Integrating CUOM with QPM—QPM exposes a subset of its API from NorthBound (NB) Web Services interface and NB SNMP interface. You can use CUOM with QPM to exchange QoS-related metric data from routers, gateways, and IP phones.
