RSVP configuration

[darkmagex]

Hey,

I'm trying to set up RSVP for a project, but the Cisco docs aren't making any sense. Using Cisco 2514's.

Any help/links to examples of this are appreciated.

Current Setup

Host 1 (capture)
|
Client ---- Router A ---- Hub ----- Router B ---- Server (FTP)
10.1.1.1 E0: 10.1.1.254 E0: 10.1.2.253 10.1.3.1
E1: 10.1.2.254 E1: 10.1.3.254

The goal right now is simple to see some RSVP messages as the protocol
establishes the reservation from the client to server.

Router A
ip rsvp bandwidth
ip rsvp reservation 10.1.3.1 10.1.1.1 tcp 21 21 10.1.1.1 Ethernet 0 ff rate 100
100

Router B
ip rsvp bandwidth
ip rsvp sender 10.1.3.1 10.1.1.1 tcp 21 21 10.1.2.254 Ethernet 0 100 100

We connect to ftp on the server and download a file, but the packet capture
doesnt show any rsvp data being exchanged.

The application has to be capable, the OS has to be capable, and the equipment used has to recognize it. The app notifies the OS that it needs to reserve bandwidth, the OS notifies the switch (and any other devices on the path between computers) to reserve bandwidth, and eventually the receiving machine sends the same sort of reservation request backward. All devices in the path have to recognize the RSVP system and be configured to allow it to work, otherwise the request doesn't get passed along and no bandwidth gets reserved anywhere.

Note that WinXP's version of QoS reservation isn't actually RSVP.

I don't know any sites explaining in detail, I'm sure you could find information on Google, and Cisco's online support is quite helpful for most things.
