ProCurve-ACM
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. In general, the verification steps
include:
1. Verify the DHCP relay on the ProCurve switches is functioning by confirming that the IP
telephones receive their IP addresses from the DHCP server connected to the ProCurve
5406zl Switch.
2. Check that the Avaya IP telephones have successfully registered with Avaya Communication
Manager by using the list registered-ip-stations command.
3. Place internal and external calls between the digital telephone and IP telephones at each site.
11. Conclusion
These Application Notes describe the configuration steps required for integrating ProCurve
switches with an Avaya telephony infrastructure. For the configuration described in these
Application Notes, the ProCurve switches were responsible for enforcing QoS using Diffserv
and 802.1p as well as link aggregation, rapid spanning tree, load balancing and OSPF. Avaya
Communication Manager delivered the voice traffic to the routers for transmission over the LAN
together with data traffic. Prioritization of VoIP traffic and good voice quality was successfully
achieved in the Avaya/ProCurve configuration described herein.
