Distribution Manager Command Reference

Table A-2: Distribution Manager Command Reference

Menu	Command	Toolbar Button	Description
File	Close	None	Closes Distribution Manager without closing Policy Manager.
File	Exit	None	Closes Distribution Manager and Policy Manager.
View	Toolbar	None	Displays (when checked) or hides the toolbar, which contains shortcut buttons for some menu commands.
View	Log	None	Displays (when checked) the log pane at the bottom of the main window.
View	Status Bar	None	Displays (when checked) or hides the status bar tray at the bottom of the main window.
Devices	Create Job	None	Creates a distribution job. You are prompted to select the QoS database that contains the configuration that you want to deploy to the network.
Devices	Apply		Applies the job the first valid Not-Applied job (created with the Devices>Create Job command) in the tree view to the network, if there is one. If there is no valid Not-Applied job, QPM-PRO asks you to select the database from which to create the job, and then applies the job without allowing you to inspect the job contents. The job contains the configuration commands required to deploy your QoS policies and settings to the network. Use the Devices>Create Job command to create a job that you can inspect before applying it.
Devices	Apply to All		Generates an apply process to all the devices of the selected job, regardless of their status (Not-Applied, Unchanged, and so on). The status of each device is changed to Not-Applied, and then the deployment process starts. Because the deployment is incremental, if nothing has been changed on the device and the database has not been changed, no configuration will be deployed. Apply to All has the same behavior as Apply.
Devices	Stop		Stops the deployment of the current job to the network. The job is stopped after the changes to the device currently being configured are complete.
Devices	Resume		Resumes the deployment of the job that you previously stopped.
Devices	View Commands	None	Displays the commands that will be used to configure the device selected in the list pane.
Devices	View Backup Configuration File	None	Displays the configuration that has been deployed on the selected device.
Devices	View Full Deployment File	None	Displays the contents of the full deployment file that is created after deployment to file. This file contains the complete device configuration after deployment, and can be sent via TFTP to configure the device.
Devices	View Incremental Deployment File View Job Logging	None	Displays the contents of the incremental deployment file that is created after deployment to file. This file contains the incremental commands that need to be sent to the device to update its configuration.
Devices	Verify Device Configuration		Verifies if the policies in the most recently distributed job match the configuration on the devices. There might be cases where CLI changes were made on the device, creating a mismatch between the database and the device configuration. This function has the same behavior as Apply and Apply to All. If a Not-Applied job exists this job is verified, otherwise a new job is created and verified. The verification process contains two steps, DNS resolution check, and device configuration check.
Devices	Restore to Current		Restores the previously created job as the current database. You will be prompted to create a job for the current database, if it has not been saved as a job.
Devices	Restore to Current and Apply		Restores the previously created job as the current database and applies it to the network.
Devices	Options	None	Opens the Options dialog, which allows you to configure some characteristics of Distribution Manager operation.
Tools	Policy Manager		Starts the Policy Manager application, which lets you create and edit policy statements.
Tools	Reports>All Jobs	None	Displays the summary information for each job, along with the device details for each job.
Tools	Reports>System Log	None	Displays the system log, which contains messages concerning the functioning of Distribution Manager.
Tools	Reports>Device Log	None	Displays the log of the selected device, which contains Telnet and device messages produced while the device was being configured.
Tools	Reports>Job Log	None	Displays the log of the selected job, which contains Telnet and device messages produced while the job was being applied to the network.
Tools	User Manager		Opens Windows NT or Windows 2000 User Manager, so that you can change the membership in the QPM-PRO user and guest groups. These groups manage user authentication for QPM-PRO, and are defined as local groups on the machine running the QoS Manager service.

QPM-PRO Abstract Actions Translated to Device Commands

QPM-PRO uses device commands to configure your QoS policies and configurations on the devices. These are the same commands you can use on the device's command line interface (CLI), and they are described in the device's documentation.

This section shows the command sequences used to configure each type of abstract policy action that you can create using QPM-PRO. You can use this information to help you understand how QPM-PRO configures your devices. See the device's documentation for complete information on the commands and their parameters. (See More Information About Quality of Service for a partial list of product documentation.)

These sections show the full command translation, including optional parameters. If you do not configure an optional setting, the associated command or parameter is not included in the command sequence QPM-PRO uses to configure the device.

Note The notation in the translation is bold for the router's key words, italic for variables. Some of the variables are parameters you enter into QPM-PRO. Other variables are managed by QPM-PRO, for example, the ACL number.

These sections describe QPM-PRO abstract actions:
