Asked by: systemssupply

Hello, here is the problem i have been presented with.

A client has (2) office connected via an MCI world com MPLS connection (full t)

Routers are a Cisco 3600 at one and and a Cisco 2600 at the other.

They would like to roll out VOIP the site with the 3600 will be the host and the 2600 the remote end. The 2600 side has at most 10 users.

My question is how can I setup Qos on teh Cisco to give the VOIP first pri over the wire?  I have read over Ciscos documentation however, I am still unsure of the best config for this.

Please help.

thanks

Hi systemssupply,
I am going to give you a sample configuration you will have to adjust to your particular configuration. I include only items related to QoS.

You have to set it up on both routers.
Also make sure that you will not experience congestion on the LANs in both locations.

Router configuration follows (--- denotes coments)
version 12.3 --- IOS version ---
!
hostname RouterA
!
