Getting Started With EasyQoS
You can use EasyQoS to apply quality of service (QoS) policies throughout your network. Use the following high-level steps to guide you through the process of setting up a basic EasyQoS policy for your devices.
EasyQoS supports most of the Cisco LAN, WAN, WLAN devices. To verify whether the devices and software versions in your network are supported, see the Supported Platforms for the Cisco Application Policy Infrastructure Controller Enterprise Module document.
Step 1 | Define your business objectives.
For example, your business objective might be to improve user productivity by minimizing network response times or to identify and deprioritize non-business applications. | ||
Step 2 | With your business objectives in mind, determine the business relevance of your applications.
Decide which category your applications fall into:
| ||
Step 3 | Define the scope (or group) of devices that you will configure with a policy.
For more information, see Defining Policy Scopes. | ||
Step 4 | (Optional)Create custom applications.
If you have applications that are not already defined in EasyQoS, you can add them and define their QoS attributes. For more information, see Custom Applications. | ||
Step 5 | (Optional)View the default service provider profiles and, if necessary, create a new service provider profile to fit your needs. For information, see Creating a Customized Service Provider Profile. | ||
Step 6 | Create the policy on wired devices or wireless segments. For information, see Creating or Editing a Policy.
As part of creating the policy, do the following:
| ||
Step 7 | (Optional)Validate the policy.
You can view the command line interface (CLI) commands that will be applied to a device when the policy is deployed. For more information, see Policy Preview. | ||
Step 8 | Apply the policy to the scope of devices. | ||
Step 9 | (Optional)Proceed to monitor the application provisioning status and health.
For additional information, see Information about Monitoring EasyQoS. | ||
Step 10 | (Optional)Configure Cisco APIC-EM for Apple Fastlane.
For additional information, see About Cisco APIC-EM and Apple Fastlane. |
What to Do Next
You can see how the deployed policy is working in your network by performing a path trace on two devices and capturing QoS data. For more information, see the Cisco Path Trace Application for APIC-EM User Guide.
Defining Policy Scopes
Before you can create a QoS policy, you need to define the policy scope. That is, you need to define the group of devices that will be configured with the same QoS policy. For more information, see Understanding Policy Scope.
![]() Note | You can also define a policy scope by applying policy tags to devices from the Device Inventory window or the Topology window. For information, see Cisco Application Policy Infrastructure Controller Enterprise Module Administrator Guide. |

Make sure that you have devices in your inventory. If not, discover devices using the Discovery function.
From the Topology or Device Inventory window, verify that the device roles assigned to devices during discovery are appropriate for your network design. If necessary, change any of the device roles that are not appropriate.
What to Do Next
You can create policies for wired devices or wireless segments. For information, see Creating or Editing a Policy.
Configuring Applications
Configuring Favorite Applications
You can designate applications as favorites, which effects the order that the applications are configured on devices. This setting is applied to applications globally, across policies. If you set an application as a favorite, it is set as a favorite in all policies.
You can also configure favorite applications while creating or editing a policy. For more information, see Creating or Editing a Policy.
For information about how favorite applications work, see Favorite Applications.

Make sure that you have devices in your inventory. If not, discover devices using the Discovery function.
You must have policy administrator (ROLE_POLICY_ADMIN) permissions and the appropriate resource scope to perform this procedure.
Define the scope of devices that you want to be configured with this QoS policy. You can do this by creating a policy tag in Topology or Device Inventory or by creating a policy scope in EasyQoS.
Step 1 | From the Navigation pane, click EasyQoS. |
Step 2 | From the
EasyQoS window, select the
Application Registry tab.
By default, the applications are listed by traffic class.

Cancelling a Policy Configuration Process
After you click Apply or Reapply, EasyQoS begins to configure the policy on the devices in the policy scope. If you realize that you have made a mistake, you can cancel the policy configuration process.
The policy configuration process is performed as a bulk process in that it configures 40 devices at a time. So, if you have fewer than 40 devices, cancelling the process has no real effect. However, if you have hundreds of devices, cancelling the policy configuration process can be useful when needed.
When you click Abort, EasyQoS cancels the configuration process on devices that have not started to be configured and changes the device status to Policy Aborted. EasyQoS does not cancel configurations that are in the process of being completed or have been completed. These devices retain the updated policy configuration and reflect the state of the policy configuration, whether it is configuring, successful, or failed.
Before You Begin
You must have either administrator (ROLE_ADMIN) or policy administrator (ROLE_POLICY_ADMIN) permissions and the appropriate RBAC scope to perform this procedure.
Procedure
Click Abort to cancel the policy configuration process.
Displaying the Version History of Policies
You can display the version history of QoS policies. The version history includes the series number (iteration) of the policy and the date and time that the version was saved. In addition, the version history allows you to perform the following actions:
-
Display the differences between a selected policy and the current one. For information, see Comparing Policy Versions.
-
Roll back to a previous version of a policy. For information, see Rolling Back to a Previous Policy Version.

You must have either administrator (ROLE_ADMIN) or policy administrator (ROLE_POLICY_ADMIN) permissions and the appropriate RBAC scope to perform this procedure.
EasyQoS displays the version history of the selected policy in the Policy History area.
Comparing Policy Versions
You can view the differences between the selected version and the current version.

You must have either administrator (ROLE_ADMIN) or policy administrator (ROLE_POLICY_ADMIN) permissions and the appropriate RBAC scope to perform this procedure.
EasyQoS displays the results of the comparison below the Policy History area. The results include applications that were changed, and the operations performed to them.
Rolling Back to a Previous Policy Version
If you change a policy configuration, and then realize that it is incorrect, or it is not having the desired affect in your network, you can revert to a policy that is up to five versions back.

You must have either administrator (ROLE_ADMIN) or policy administrator (ROLE_POLICY_ADMIN) permissions and the appropriate RBAC scope to perform this procedure.
Define the scope of devices that you want to be configured with this QoS policy. You can do this by creating a policy tag in Topology or Device Inventory or by creating a policy scope in EasyQoS.
You must have created at least two versions of the policy to roll back to a previous policy version.
Step 1 | From the Navigation pane, click EasyQoS. |
Step 2 | Click the Policies tab. |
Step 3 | From the Scopes pane, select a policy scope and then the policy that you want to rollback. |

Step 6 | Configure the
bandwidth for each application class by using the slider, clicking the plus (+)
or minus (-) sign, or entering a specific number in the field.
The number indicates the percentage of the total interface bandwidth that will be dedicated to the selected application class. Because the total bandwidth equals 100, adding bandwidth to one application class subtracts bandwidth from another application class. An open lock icon indicates that you can edit the bandwidth for the application class. A closed lock indicates that you cannot edit it. If you make a mistake, you can return to the Cisco Validated Design (CVD) settings by clicking the Reset to CVD icon. The graph on the right can help you visualize the amount of bandwidth that you are setting for each application class.
| ||
Step 7 | Configure the queuing profile (DSCP value) for each application class by clicking on the field next to each application class and entering a specific number in the field.
For example, for the Voice application class, click on the drop-down arrow in the Voice field with the number and select a new DSCP value. | ||
Step 8 | When you are satisfied with the bandwidth allocation and the queuing profile, click Create.
