What kind of QoS? I don't think most methods require IP unnumbered??

I've never run into an issue with allocating IPX addresses to a link that is using unnumberd for IP. That sounds very strange. Once again, I think we better see what's happening. > > I am getting confused at this point, should it be possible to > have IP, > IPX and QoS all at the same time? Yes, but some QoS methods are IP-specific. And this could be an issue. You could be doing everything right on the IP side, and still IPX traffic could delay VoIP packets. How big is this IPX network? Are you using RIP and SAP? On a network with lots of network numbers and services, RIP and SAP will saturate your 256 K link every 60 seconds for a few seconds. Voice could be awful in this situation.... You should use EIGRP, static routes, IPXWAN, snapshot routing, or one of a number of other options for reducing bandwidth consuption by IPX routing and service advertising. (In fact, you might want to upgrade to IP and get rid of IPX all together?) _______________________________ Priscilla Oppenheimer www.troubleshootingnetworks.com www.priscilla.com > > My IOS is 12.1 > > Thanks for any suggestions > > Adam. > > Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=55386&t=55373 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
