Example 4: Applying Qos - Black Box SmartPath LWN602A User Manual

To configure SmartPath EMS VMA to authenticate administrators whose login accounts are stored on an external RADIUS server:
1. Log in to the home system as an admin with super-user privileges. Either note the name and attribute number of one of the
predefined admin groups or create a new one. To create a new admin group, click "Home > Administration > Administrators >
Admin Groups > New," enter the following, and then click "Save:"
Name: Type a name for the group.
Attribute: Assign an unused attribute number to the group. You can see which attributes are already in use on the Home >
Administration > Administrators > Admin Groups page. (To see the admin group attribute numbers for the home system and all
VHMs, log in to All VHMs by clicking "Log Out > Switch Virtual HM > All VHMs.")
Select read and write privileges for the features and maps that you want to enable for members of this group.
2. Either log in to the VHM with VHM admin credentials or log in to the home system with super-user privileges and then switch
to the VHM by clicking Log Out > Switch Virtual HM > vhm_name. If one of the predefined admin groups suits your needs,
note its name and attribute number. If not, create a new admin group by clicking "Home > Administration > Administrators >
Admin Groups > New," entering the following, and then clicking "Save:"
Name: Type a name for the group.
Attribute: Assign an unused attribute number to the group.
NOTE: You can see which attributes are already in use on the home system and all VHMs on the Home > Administration >
Administrators > Admin Groups page when you are logged in to All VHMs. If you are a VHM admin logged in to your
VHM, you can only see the attributes for those groups in your VHM.
Select read and write privileges for the features and maps that you want to enable for members of this group.
3. To configure SmartPath EMS VMA to communicate with the RADIUS server, click "Home > Administration > SmartPath EMS
VMA Services," select HM Admin Authentication, enter the following, and then click "Update:"
HM Admin Authentication: To enable SmartPath EMS VMA admin accounts stored on SmartPath EMS VMA and on a RADIUS
server, choose "Both" from the drop-down list.
Authentication Type: Choose either PAP or CHAP or MS CHAP V2. See the SmartPath EMS Online Help for more information
about these options.
RADIUS Server: Choose the RADIUS server configuration from the drop-down list. If you do not see the one you need, click the
New icon ( + ) and create it.
4. Click "Home > Administration > Auxiliary Files > RADIUS Dictionary," and download the RADIUS dictionary file from SmartPath
EMS VMA to your management system. Using a text editor, add the names and attributes of the predefined VHM admin
groups as well as any other admin-defined groups to the file. It is the attribute number that links an admin on the RADIUS
server to the correct admin group—and correct VHM—on SmartPath EMS VMA.
5. Import the RADIUS dictionary file into the RADIUS server, and configure the RADIUS server to communicate with SmartPath
EMS VMA as a network access server (NAS).

11.6 Example 4: Applying QoS

In this example, you want the cluster members to prioritize voice, streaming media, and e-mail traffic. First, you map distinguish-
ing elements of these traffic types to three SmartPath QoS classes:
Class 6: voice traffic from VoIP phones with MAC OUI 00:12:3b (the OUI for all phones in the network)
