SDM QoS Wizard
SDM allows GUI configuration of router interfaces, firewall, ACL features,
VPNs, routing, Network Address Translation (NAT), Intrusion Prevention,
Network Access Control (NAC), and QoS. It helps nonexpert users to
configure these router functions. SDM comes preinstalled on the ISR
routers, but to use the SDM Wizard, the router’s HTTP server function must
be enabled.
With the SDM’s QoS Wizard, you can configure, monitor, and troubleshoot
QoS configurations. Browse to http://10.10.10.1—the default IP address for
SDM. From the “Configure” menu, choose to configure QoS. This launches
the QoS Wizard, shown in Figure 3-2.

Notice that the wizard creates policies for two types of traffic:
■ Real-Time—VoIP and signaling packets
■ Business-Critical—This has three subcategories:
— Transactional—Database, interactive sessions, and enterprise
applications
— Management—Network management applications
— Routing—Routing protocols
You can specify bandwidth allocation for these classes or use the wizard’s
recommendations. After the wizard is done, it shows you the policies and
loads them into the router’s configuration. You can edit them later, as shown
in Figure 3-3.
