# Welcome to CatQDM

Catalyst QoS Device Manager (CatQDM) is a graphical user interface (GUI) application developed as an addlet, using the CiscoView development environment. CatQDM, which is supported by Catalyst 6000 devices, provides a user interface for configuring and monitoring Quality of Service (QoS) features. It uses the CiscoView framework to communicate to a device through SNMP.

Note: Please refer to Configuring Quality of Service for further details on queue types and thresholds. You can access it from the following URL: http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/lan/cat6000/sw_5_5/cnfg_gd/qos.htm

CatQDM Functionality

CatQDM has two frames: Actions and Content. The Actions frame details a hierarchical view of the actions that can be performed to configure and monitor QoS parameters. The Content frame details Actions frame items and assists the user through steps to configure and monitor QoS parameters.

Caveats

- You may encounter display refresh problems in this release of CatQDM. To work around the problem, which occurs intermittently, close and relaunch CatQDM. For more information on this problem, please refer to the CatQDM readme file.

- Internet Explorer has a caching error that occurs when using help hyperlinks. To avoid the problem:

  1. With Internet Explorer already running, select Tools > Internet Options.

  2. Click Settings from the General tab in the Temporary Internet files section.

  3. In Settings dialog box, verify that the radio button “Every visit to the page” is selected under “Check for newer versions of stored pages.” Select this option if it has not already been selected.

  4. Click OK, then click OK again to close the Internet Options dialog box.

  5. Close and relaunch Internet Explorer.

> > You must set this option to prevent Internet Explorer from using the cached version of one of the control help files for context-sensitive help links. Otherwise, the first help link displays properly, but the second time the user clicks a link, the first page displays again.

Creating Access Control Lists (ACLs)

Traffic classification is a key function of CatQDM, and is handled by ACLs. To create an ACL:

1. (Optional) From the Actions frame, select Configuration > Policies > Policer Names. In the Policy Names dialog box, you can specify the names of policies you wish to add.

2. Launch the Policy Selection dialog box by selecting Configuration > Policies > Policer Selection from the Actions frame.

3. Create an entry.

> > Note: You are not required to specify a Micro Flow or Aggregate Flow policer name in the Add/Edit Policer Selection dialog box.

4. Create an Access Control Entry (ACE). For example, to create an IP ACE:

   1. Select Configuration > Classification > IP ACL.

   2. Click Add ACL to bring up the Add/Edit Access Control List: dialog box.

   3. Enter an ACL name, then click Add ACE. The Add/Edit Access Control Element for <ACL name you entered> dialog box is displayed.

   4. Click Change to bring up the Policy Selection for ACE dialog box.

   5. Select an entry from the policy selection table, then click OK.

The CatQDM online help is organized into the following sections:

- Global Configuration

- Classification

- Policies

- Output Scheduling

- Interfaces

- Mapping Tables

- Monitoring

Note: If you are running embedded CiscoView, you will not be able to access the Monitoring dialog box or its subsequent dialog boxes.

The following table outlines which policy types are supported by the IP, IPX, and MAC interfaces on Sup1 and Sup2 supervisor cards.
