Hi Group

I have checked the archives and found some useful info which I have used
to come to the following solution. I have lab'd my solutions up and
tested it as much as possible with the kit I have.

I have the following situation.

site A leased 2048kbps siteB
2610 ----------------------------------------------------2600
   | |
   | |
3com 4400 3com 4400

The company are going to introduce VOIP between the 2 sites. The 3com
switches will be vlan with a voice and data vlans. I am going to
implement QOS over the leased line for the voice traffic. I have lab'd
the following solution up and it seems to work ok. Bearing in mind I
have no VOIP capabilities (advertising capabilities with my neighbour
:-) ) it is hard to fully test. I have generated traffic on the port
range 16384 20000 and all seems to be ok.

This my intended solutions:

Router(config)# access-list 102 permit udp host 10.10.10.10 host
10.10.10.20 range 16384 20000

Router(config)# class-map voice
Router(config-cmap)# match access-group 102

Router(config)# policy-map policy1
Router(config-pmap)# class voice
Router(config-pmap-c)# priority 50
Router(config-pmap)# class class-default
Router(config-pmap-c)# fair-queue

So is it better to use a set bandwidth or a percentage? And is there a
calculation to calculate the required bandwidth for x amount of users?

The second issue i have is the current ios version on the 2600's is
12.0(2) and the priority command was only introduced in 12.0(5). So i
will have to upgrade their ios to a new version. The routers both have
32mb Ram and 8 flash. What would be the best image to use and will i
need to upgrade the memory ( expect i will just want some conformation).
Is there a tool on Cisco site to find out what memory is required for
each ios version?

I am still waiting for more info from the customer on the amount of voip
users and the ip address range for the voip vlan etc.

TIA
