Chapter 5 Configuring QoS for IP Telephony
Configuring QoS Using the IP Telephony Wizard
Voice policy groups are policy groups that contain the QoS properties and policies
for each relevant point in the IP telephony network. A voice policy group contains
a voice role attribute, which specifies the role of an interface, according to its
type, function and location on the network, such as, IP phone, Switch to WAN
Router. QPM allows you to modify properties and policies of certain voice policy
groups created by the wizard, to suit specific network configurations, as required.

The IP Telephony wizard creates voice policy groups from voice policy group
templates which are provided by QPM in the Policy Group Templates library.
