VoIP QOS on 887VA (and also 861)

[grunger106]

Hi

I have a 887VA in a live environment that needs QOS for VoIP - choppy calls....

I'm a novice with QOS, so have been playing with my 861.

This is what I'm trying...

ip access-list extended VOIP
permit tcp any any range 6000 6049
permit tcp any any eq 5060

class-map match-any VoIP
match access-group name VOIP

policy-map VOIPQOS
class VoIP
priority percent 50
set dscp ef
class class-default
fair-queue

interface FastEthernet4

bandwidth 800

ip nbar protocol-discovery

service-policy output VOIPQOS

I a few questions....

1. - Is this correct generally - will this priortise VoIP traffic over everything else.

2. - Should this be on fa4 or dialer0 - it's PPPoE, or doesn't it matter since FA4's upstream is dialer0 anyway

3. - The router that really needs this is an 887, so which interface do I put this on - ATM0?

4. - I get an error on the set dscp ef command on the 861 - is this because I'm wrong, or the 861 doesn't do this, and what ramifications will this have?

Sorry for the probably dumb questions, but my Cisco knowlege is learnt in the field - so VPNs etc I'm happy with but QOS is a dark hole at the moment!

Thanks!

1. Generally yes, this config is good enough for prioritizing voice traffic going out of Serial or Fast Ethernet interfaces. The only thing I would like to mention here is the ACL being used, generally I have seen the following ACL for Cisco Voice devices:

access-list 102 permit udp any any range 16384 32767

access-list 102 permit tcp any any eq 1720

(the above are actually the ports Cisco devices use.......1720 for call setup and range 16384 32767 for the RTP stream)

2. "Service-policy output" command should be on Dialer interface

3. For ATM interface, there is a difference in how QOS is applied. I am not an expert on ATM so I can only point you towards the document which explains it

Documents that should prove useful:

hello, my name is michael and i'm trying to configure the same oqs setting as grunger106                           i have cisco 887va.

I know this response was recorded a long time ago but still ask for your help. 

I set grunger106 script above  and i put Service-policy output" command  on Dialer 0 interface but its still don"t work. i still have jitter and delays.

i'm adding the configuration :
