Ports Configuration for Common Services
Ports Configuration for Common Services
When you install the Common Services application, the value of the default FMS port used by the Common Services database is 9652.
This updates the information in the printed version of Quick Start Guide for QoS Policy Manager that is included in the QPM 3.0 product package.
Downloading and Installing the Patch
Note
QoS Policy Manager 3.0 must be installed before you install this patch.
Use the following procedure to download and install the patch.
Procedure
1.
Go to the following location on Cisco.com: http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/qos-patches
2.
Click on QoSPolicyManager-Patch3.0.1.exe to download the patch to your hard drive.
3.
If you have QoS Policy Manager windows open, you are recommended to close them.
4.
Locate the downloaded file on your hard drive and double-click it. This will start the installation on your system. Before replacing files, the installation will stop all CiscoWorks and QPM services, and will restart them after the installation completes.
New Device Support and QoS Support
QPM 3.0.1 provides the following new device support:
•
Catalyst 6513, 6503
•
Catalyst 4503, 4506 with Supervisor II, running CatOS.
•
Catalyst 3550-12G, 3550-24DC, 3550-24FX
•
Cisco 1760
•
xDSL interfaces on Cisco 1760, 2600, and 3600 devices
QPM 3.0.1 provides the following new QoS support:
•
Class-based QoS on Catalyst 5000 RSM
•
NBAR on Cisco 7600 and Catalyst 6000 devices running IOS version 12.1(13)E
New and Enhanced Features
QPM 3.0.1 provides the following new and enhanced features:
•
Configuring Queuing on ASIC Interfaces
Additional NBAR Protocols
The following NBAR protocols are now supported in QPM:
•
RTSP—including the parameters: quicktime, realplayer, url
•
SAP protocols—SAP-APP, SAP-MSG, SAP-PGM
Configuring Queuing on ASIC Interfaces
This section is relevant for Catalyst 6000 IOS and Cisco 7600 devices.
When you assign an interface that belongs to an ASIC (Application-Specific Integrated Circuit) to a policy group, QPM now assigns only the selected interface, and not all the interfaces controlled by the same ASIC. If you have configured 1P2Q2T or 2Q2T queuing on the assigned ASIC interface, on deployment, the device applies this queuing configuration to all the interfaces on the ASIC.
Similarly, when you remove an ASIC interface assignment from a policy group, only the selected interface is removed. On deployment, any change to the interface's 1P2Q2T or 2Q2T queuing configuration, will be applied by the device to all the ASIC's interfaces.
Resolved Problems
Table 1 describes problems resolved since the last release of QPM.
Table 1 Resolved Problems from the last release of QPM
Bug ID Summary Additional InformationCSCdy44880
Status of deployment job remains "In progress."
If one of the devices to which the deployment job is being deployed, is not connected, the deployment job fails.
CSCdx85557
No warning for voice role assignments to ASIC.
No longer relevant. QPM no longer assigns all the interfaces of the ASIC.
See CSCdz46908.
CSCdy12974
Some voice policy groups not displayed in IP Telephony wizard.
All new policy groups will now be displayed. Policy groups that were created in QPM 3.0 using the "Attach Policy Group Template" option in the Policy Group Definition wizard will still not be displayed in the Assignment Summary page, and you should recreate these policy groups.
CSCdy53000
Collector crashes when adding large number of tasks
You can now run tasks for up to 600 interfaces concurrently with one hour polling interval.
CSCdz48019
QPM 3.0 configures outbound policing incorrectly for the 3550.
QPM now configures all current and new policies correctly.
CSCdz45989
QPM 3.0 does not sync ACS device groups correctly.
QPM 3.0 now syncs ACS device groups correctly.
When using ACS device groups, you should sync after adding or importing new devices. For more details, see CSCdz53333.
CSCdz46908
Cat6K ASIC assignment - sometimes not required, but still done.
When you assign an interface for a Catalyst 6000 IOS or Cisco 7600 device with ASIC (Application-Specific Integrated Circuit) interfaces, QPM no longer assigns all the interfaces of the ASIC. However the device will apply the 1P2Q2T/2Q2T queuing definition to all the interfaces controlled by the same ASICs as the assigned interfaces. Similarly, if you choose to remove an interface from a policy group, the 1P2Q2T/2Q2T queuing definition will be removed from all the interfaces of the ASIC.
See Configuring Queuing on ASIC Interfaces for more details.
CSCdz34484
QPM 3.0 cannot configure FastEthernet ISL subinterfaces.
QPM can now configure and deploy to FastEthernet ISL subinterfaces.
CSCdz46833
Importing devices using long DNS may result in "SNMP Error"
There is no longer a problem importing devices with long DNS names. All DNS names can now be resolved.
CSCdy66305
Bandwidth type constraint is too strict
When configuring class-based QoS priority queuing, you can use either absolute values or ratios, irrespective of the units used for bandwidth configurations in other policies.
CSCdy66391
Corrupted filter when defining rules.
New filters will not be corrupted.
To fix QPM 3.0 policies with corrupted filters, select the policy, and open the Filters page in the Policy Definition wizard:
•
If the filter rules are in the correct order, click Finish.
•
If the filter rules are not in the correct order, delete all the filter rules and redefine them.
•
If there are duplicate rules:
–
For class-based policies, select Class Default in the Filters page, save the policy, then reopen the policy and configure the filter again. If this does not work, try the next solution.
–
For all other policies, remove the assigned network elements from the policy group. Create a new policy group and reassign the network elements to the new policy group.
CSCdz41287
Class-Map not parsed correctly if it contains a description.
Parsing of class maps and policy maps containing descriptions is now performed correctly.
CSCdz41693
NBAR protocols that have PDLMs should not be constrained by IOS.
NBAR protocols that have a PDLM (Packet Description Language Module) will be available for configuration in QPM for all IOS versions that support NBAR, even if they are not native to that version. If you deploy an NBAR configuration to a device that does not support the configured NBAR protocol, the deployment will fail.
CSCdz59260
QPM upload views only one policy map
This problem has been fixed, and QPM can now parse any given string as the ACL name in a match statement.
Known Problems
Table 2 describes problems know to exist in this release.
