Application Notes for ProCurve 5400zl, 3500yl and 2600

Series Switches by HP connected to Avaya Communication

Manager, Avaya SIP Enablement Services, Avaya Modular

Messaging and Avaya IA770 INTUITY AUDIX in a

Converged VoIP and Data Network - Issue 1.0

Abstract

These Application Notes describe the configuration of a Voice over IP (VoIP) solution using

ProCurve 5400zl, 3500yl and 2600 Series Switches by HP connected to an Avaya

Communication Manager, Avaya SIP Enablement Services, Avaya Modular Messaging and

Avaya IA770 INTUITY AUDIX. The ProCurve 5406zl, 3500yl-24G-PWR, 2610-24-PWR

and 2626-24-PWR Switches were compliance-tested with Avaya Communication Manager,

Avaya SIP Enablement Services and Avaya Modular Messaging. Emphasis was placed on

verifying the prioritization of VoIP traffic and voice quality in a converged VoIP and data

network scenario.

Information in these Application Notes has been obtained through DevConnect compliance

testing and additional technical discussions. Testing was conducted via the DevConnect

Program at the Avaya Solution and Interoperability Test Lab.

All network components are in network region 1 for this sample configuration. The DiffServ and 802.1P/Q values configured here will be downloaded to the Avaya H.323 IP telephones via Avaya Communication Manager. Avaya SIP IP telephones will get QoS settings by downloading the 46xxsettings file from the HTTP server. For more information on QoS settings, please refer to [1]. Use the change ip-network-region 1 command to change the DIFFSERV/TOS PARAMETERS and 802.

9. Interoperability Compliance Testing Interoperability compliance testing covered feature functionality, serviceability, and performance testing. Feature functionality testing focused on the QoS and VLAN implementation in the Avaya/ProCurve configuration. Specifically, compliance testing verified that when the ProCurve Switch interfaces are over subscribed with low priority data traffic, the higher priority VoIP media and signaling traffic still got through and achieved good voice quality.
PAGE 19
9.2. Test Results All feature functionality, serviceability, and performance test cases passed. The ProCurve implementation did prioritize VoIP traffic and yielded good voice quality with no calls being lost. The stability of the Avaya/ProCurve solution was successfully verified through performance and serviceability testing. 10. Verification Steps This section provides the steps for verifying end-to-end network connectivity and QoS in the field from the perspective of the ProCurve 5406zl Switch.
