•ACL
• Class Map
• Policy Map
• Client QoS Association

Configuring VAP QoS Parameters
The VAP QoS features on the AP provide additional control over certain QoS aspects of
wireless clients that connect to the network, such as the amount of bandwidth an individual
client is allowed to send and receive. To control general categories of traffic, such as HTTP
traffic or traffic from a specific subnet, you can configure ACLs and assign them to one or
more VAPs.
In addition to controlling general traffic categories, Client QoS allows you to configure per-
client conditioning of various micro-flows through Differentiated Services (DiffServ).
DiffServ policies are a useful tool for establishing general micro-flow definition and treatment
characteristics that can be applied to each wireless client, both inbound and outbound, when it
is authenticated on the network.
You can use the VAP QoS Properties page to enable the Client QoS feature, specify client
bandwidth limits, and select the ACLs and DiffServ policies to use as default values for clients
associated with the VAP when the client does not have their own attributes defined by a
RADIUS server.
