I need my Cisco C3900 brought up to the latest, stable IOS release and then tuned for quality of service. I have not yet downloaded the images, so the first step will be helping me identify the correct firmware bundle, securing it from Cisco, and staging it on my TFTP/SCP server. Once it is in place, you will carry out the upgrade, verify the ROM-mon version, and confirm the router comes back clean with all interfaces up. After the operating system is current, I want three QoS elements in place: traffic shaping for key subnets, bandwidth management to keep non-critical traffic in check, and priority queuing for voice and video. The policies should be clearly commented in the running-config so I can maintain them myself later. There are also a few Catalyst switches directly downstream. They only need basic QoS alignment—trust settings on uplink ports and any necessary queue-mapping—so that the policies on the C3900 are honoured end-to-end. Deliverables • Correct IOS image chosen, downloaded, and upgrade completed • Post-upgrade health check (show version, show platform, show log) shared as proof • Modular QoS configs applied and saved: class-maps, policy-maps, interface service-policies • Switch port settings updated to trust DSCP/CoS and tested with a quick ping/iperf verification • Brief hand-off document outlining commands used and rollback steps I will provide remote console access and a maintenance window; you just need your usual toolkit (Cisco CLI, TFTP/SCP client, putty/secureCRT).

Bid amount and timeline above are rough placeholders , we'll firm those up once we talk through the maintenance window and what remote access looks like on your end. Looks like a solid, well-scoped job. You've got two C3900s that need a clean IOS upgrade plus a properly structured QoS policy pushed end-to-end through the downstream Catalyst switches. The goal isn't just getting the routers on current code , it's making sure voice and video traffic actually gets the treatment it needs once the policy is live, with configs you can read and maintain yourself afterward. Here's how we'd approach this: - Image selection and staging: We'll pull the correct IOS bundle for your C3900s from Cisco's software center, verify the MD5, and stage it on your TFTP/SCP server before touching anything. - Upgrade and ROM-mon check: We'll carry out the upgrade during your maintenance window, verify ROM-mon version post-boot, and run show version, show platform, and show log to confirm everything came back clean. - QoS policy build: Class-maps and policy-maps for traffic shaping on your key subnets, bandwidth policing for non-critical flows, and LLQ/priority queuing for voice and video , all commented in the running-config so the logic is readable. - Catalyst alignment: Trust DSCP/CoS on the uplink ports of the downstream switches and adjust queue-mapping so the C3900 policies are honored all the way down. - Hand-off doc: A short document covering the commands used, what each policy does, and rollback steps if you ever need them. After a quick scope chat we'll send over a written proposal with a firm price and timeline. Want to set up a short call this week to walk through the maintenance window and confirm remote access details? Best, 96 Studio

Hi there, I am a Computer Science engineer specializing in network infrastructure. I can handle your C3900 upgrade and QoS alignment cleanly within your exact maintenance window. The Cisco 3900 ISR G2 series requires careful handling for its final 15.x releases. I will ensure we select the correct universal image, verify the MD5 checksum prior to reload, and implement a robust MQC policy that maps flawlessly down to your Catalyst switches. Execution Plan: 1. Image Staging & Upgrade Identify the correct 15.x .bin release for your hardware limits. Stage it via TFTP/SCP to flash:, verify MD5, and check ROMMON compatibility. Update the boot variable, reload during the window, and verify stability (sh ver, sh plat, sh log). 2. MQC QoS Implementation (C3900) I will build heavily commented, modular configs: Class-Maps: Match DSCP EF (Voice), AF41 (Video), and target subnets. Policy-Maps: Priority Queuing (LLQ) for Voice/Video, bandwidth limits for background traffic, and parent-level shaping for your WAN commit. Application: Attach service-policy outbound. 3. Catalyst Alignment & Testing Configure downstream switches to trust incoming markings (e.g., mls qos trust dscp). Verify queuing end-to-end with iPerf/ping using ToS bits. Deliverables: Upgraded C3900 with health-check logs. Commented QoS configs & updated switch settings. Hand-off document with commands and rollback steps. I have my SecureCRT and TFTP tools ready. Let's schedule the maintenance window.
