One Touch Voice IP Policies

The PolicyView One Touch Voice IP Policies Screen displays all of the One Touch Voice IP Policies that have been configured and the status of the policy on the LDAP Server:

The screen is used to create, edit, or delete One Touch Voice IP Policies for all voice traffic flowing to, and originating from, an IP subnet.

Creating a One Touch Voice IP Policy

Click on the Create icon. Enter a Subnet IP and Subnet Mask and click Create. The Network Subnet will appear in the table with the Status "Unsaved". If necessary, click on the Create icon to create additional policies. When you are finished, click on the Save icon, to save the Policy(ies) to the LDAP Server. Next, click on the Notify All button to apply the policy to all of the switches in the network. Note that when you create a One Touch Voice IP Policy, two policies are created for each subnet entered - one for traffic originating from the subnet, and one for traffic flowing to the subnet.

Important Note: Clicking Notify All causes all QoS-enabled switches to flush their policy tables and reload policies from the LDAP Server, which is very expensive in terms of switch resources and time. If any One Touch Voice IP Policy has already been defined, the switch(es) to which the policy is assigned will also re-cache its policy tables. It is recommended that you verify all policies that you have created and apply them at the same time to minimize switch downtime.

Applying a One Touch Voice IP Policy

When you click the Notify All button, the policy(ies) is applied to all switches in the network. To view the status of the re-cache operation, click on the Status button to view the Devices Pending Notification Table. In addition, you can view the success or failure of the re-cache operation for each switch in the policy.log file of the Audit application, including an indication of any error that may have occurred. Any errors that occur will also be reported in the server.txt file, in the Audit application. Note that the re-cache operation for each switch occurs in a separate thread and may take some time.

Editing a One Touch Voice IP Policy

Select a Subnet from the One Touch Voice IPs List and click the Edit icon. Edit the Subnet Mask, click Update, then click on the Save icon , to save the update to the LDAP Server. If necessary, repeat to edit additional entries in the list. You cannot edit the IP Subnet you can only delete it and create a new one. When you are finished, click on the Notify All button to apply the policy to all of the switches in the network.
