These sections provide a quick reference for QPM menu commands, tool bar buttons, and policy action translations:
| Menu | Command | Toolbar Button | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
File | | Creates a new QoS database. | |
File | None | Adds a device to the QoS database. | |
File | None | Adds an interface for the selected device to the QoS database. To add an interface to an existing device, it is easier to select the device and select Devices>Device>Properties, and click the Detect Interfaces button in the Device Properties window. QPM queries the device for a list of interfaces and displays them in the Detect Interfaces window. You can select the interfaces you want to add from this window. | |
File | None | Creates a device group, which is a grouping of interfaces to which you want to apply the same policies. | |
File | | Creates a new policy for the selected interface, device, or device group. | |
File | | Opens a QoS database. | |
File | | Saves the currently open database without changing its file name. | |
File | None | Saves the currently open database using a different file name. | |
File | None | Closes Policy Manager without closing Distribution Manager. | |
File | None | Closes Policy Manager and Distribution Manager. | |
Edit | None | Copies the selected policy to the Windows clipboard and removes it from the interface, device, or device group. | |
Edit | None | Copies the selected policy to the Windows clipboard without removing it from the interface, device, or device group. | |
Edit | None | Pastes the policy in the clipboard to the selected interface, device, or device group if the policy's action is supported on that item. | |
Edit | None | Deletes the selected policy from the interface, device, or device group. | |
View | None | Displays (when checked) or hides the tool bar, which contains shortcut buttons for some menu commands. | |
View | None | Displays (when checked) or hides the status bar tray at the bottom of the main window. | |
View | None | Displays (when checked) or hides the preview pane at the bottom right of the main Policy Manager window. The summary shows the details of the policy selected in the list view pane. | |

Devices | None | Deletes the selected device group from the QoS database. | |
Device | None | Displays the device group properties for the selected device group. | |
Devices | | Creates a new policy for the selected interface or device group. | |
Devices | None | Disables the selected policy without deleting it from the database, or enables the selected policy, depending on the status of the policy. However, the policy is not disabled or enabled on the device until you save and distribute the database. | |
Devices | None | Deletes the selected policy from the database. However, the policy is not deleted from the device until you save and distribute the database. | |
Devices | None | Displays the selected policy's properties. | |
Devices | None | Imports devices from an inventory list exported from Cisco Resource Manager (CRM) or CiscoWorks2000 Resource Manager Essentials. | |

Tools | None | Displays a report of all the policies defined in the open database. | |
Tools | None | Displays a report of the policies defined for the selected device. | |
Tools | None | Displays a report of the policies defined for the selected device group. | |
Tools | None | Displays a report of the policies defined for the selected interface. | |
Tools | | Creates or edits application service aliases. Application services are a defined set of characteristics that identify the source of traffic, so that you can more easily write policies that target the defined traffic. | |
Tools | | Creates or edits host groups. Host groups are collections of hosts or subnets that you can use when creating QoS statements, so that you do not have to retype long lists for multiple statements. | |
Tools | None | Resolves only those host names that have not previously been resolved. Does not check previously resolved host names to determine if the IP address is correct. | |
Tools | None | Resolves all host names, even those that have previously been resolved. This ensures that the QoS database contains all current IP addresses for the hosts on the network. | |
Tools | | Starts Telnet and attempts to connected to the selected device, if any. | |
Tools | | Opens Windows NT User Manager, so that you can change the membership in the QPM user and guest groups. These groups manage user authentication for QPM, and are defined as local groups on the machine running the QoS Manager service. | |
Help | | Opens the online help to the contents page. | |
Help | None | Opens the online help to the index page. | |
Help | None | Displays the version and copyright information for the program. | |

Devices | | Applies the job the first valid Not-Applied job (created with the Devices>Create Job command) in the tree view to the network, if there is one. If there is no valid Not-Applied job, QPM asks you to select the database from which to create the job, and then applies the job without allowing you to inspect the job contents. The job contains the configuration commands required to deploy your QoS policies and settings to the network. Use the Devices>Create Job command to create a job that you can inspect before applying it. | |
Devices | | Stops the deployment of the current job to the network. The job is stopped after the changes to the device currently being configured are complete. | |
Devices | | Resumes the deployment of the job that you previously stopped. | |
Devices | None | Displays the commands that will be used to configure the device selected in the list pane. | |
Devices | None | Displays the device or job log tab in the log pane at the bottom of the main window. | |
Devices | None | Opens the Options dialog, which allows you to configure some characteristics of Distribution Manager operation. | |

QPM uses device commands to configure your QoS policies and configurations on the devices. These are the same commands you can use on the device's command line interface (CLI), and they are described in the device's documentation.
This section shows the command sequences used to configure each type of abstract policy action that you can create using QPM. You can use this information to help you understand how QPM configures your devices. See the device's documentation for complete information on the commands and their parameters. (See the "More Information About Quality of Service" section for a partial list of product documentation.)
These sections show the full command translation, including optional parameters. If you do not configure an optional setting, the associated command or parameter is not included in the command sequence QPM uses to configure the device.
