Scenario details: Verifying that the policy is working

This topic contains information about using the monitor to verify that the policy is working as you configured it to work.

1. On the Quality of Service (QoS) Server Configuration window, select Server > Monitor. The QoS Monitor window opens.

2. Select the integrated services policy type folder. This displays all the integrated services policies.

   The most interesting fields are the measured fields that obtain their data from your traffic. These fields include the bits total, bits in-profile, and packets in-profile. Bits out-of-profile indicates that other traffic is getting delayed or dropped to satisfy this integrated service policy requirements. See Monitoring QoS for a description of all the monitor fields.

   Remember that the results is accurate when the policy is active. Verify the schedule you specified within the policy. Also, the monitor only shows the integrated service policies after the applications are running. A ReSerVation Protocol (RSVP) reservation has to be established before monitoring.
