Adds a device to the QoS database, so that you can manage policies on that device through Policy Manager.
Devices
Device>View Configuration
None
Displays the selected device's settings, including SNMP communities and Cisco IOS software version numbers.
Devices
Device>Delete
None
Removes the selected device from the QoS database.
Devices
Device>Properties
None
Displays the selected device's properties as defined in the QoS database.
Devices
Interface>New
None
Adds an interface for the selected device to the QoS database. It is easier to have QoS Policy Manager detect the device's interfaces by clicking Detect Interfaces when viewing the device's properties for previously-defined devices (Devices>Device>Properties), or when adding a new device.
Devices
Interface>Delete
None
Removes the selected interface from the QoS database.
Devices
Interface>Properties
None
Displays the interface settings for the selected interface.
Devices
Device Group>New
None
Creates a device group, which is a grouping of interfaces to which you want to apply the same policies.
Devices
Device Group>Add/Remove Members
None
Adds interfaces to the selected device group, or removes them from the selected device group.
Devices
Device Group>Delete
None
Deletes the selected device group from the QoS database.
Device
Device Group>Properties

Tools
Distribution Manager
Starts the Distribution Manager application, which you use to distribute policies to network devices.
Tools
Reports>All Policies
None
Displays a report of all the policies defined in the open database.
Tools
Reports>Device Policies
None
Displays a report of the policies defined for the selected device.
Tools
Reports>Device Group Policies
None
Displays a report of the policies defined for the selected device group.
Tools
Reports>Interface Policies
None
Displays a report of the policies defined for the selected interface.
Tools
Application Services
Creates or edits application service aliases. Application services are a defined set of characteristics that identify the source of traffic, so that you can more easily write policies that target the defined traffic.
Tools
Host Groups
Creates or edits groups. Groups are collections of IP addresses that you can use when creating QoS statements, so that you do not have to retype long lists for multiple statements.
Tools
DNS Resolution>Resolve Unresolved Host Names
None
Resolves only those host names that have not previously been resolved. Does not check previously resolved host names to determine if the IP address is correct.
Tools
DNS Resolution>Resolve all Host Names
None
Resolves all host names, even those that have previously been resolved. This ensures that the QoS database contains all current IP addresses for the hosts on the network.
Tools
Telnet
Opens Telnet, so that you can access a network device such as a router.

QoS Policy Manager Abstract Actions Translated to CLI Commands
This section displays the available QoS Policy Manager abstract actions, properties and parameters translated into concrete CLI commands. Each command, with its parameters, types, default values and the measurement units is translated into concrete commands (compatible with IOS 11.2).
Note The notation in the translation is bold face for the router's key words, italic face for
variables. Some of the variables are parameters entered by the user. Other variables are
managed by QoS Policy Manager, most notably ACLNum.
