6. Testing Methodology

Avaya conducted comprehensive tests that verified PoE and QoS interoperability between Avaya
Ethernet Routing Switches, Avaya IP Phones, and Avaya IP Office. Testing ensured that the IP Phones
registered successfully with IP Office and that the ERS switches respected the 802.1p and DSCP values
from IP Office. Basic feature functionality of the ERS and IP Office was also successfully tested.
A steady-state environment was tested where all devices were properly configured and connected as
shown in the network topology figure below.
From this steady state, the tests for the overall solution fall into two categories. The results and
configuration categories for each of these tests are detailed in the following sections:
