Section8:ConfiguringClientQualityofService
ThissectiondescribeshowtoconfigureQoSsettingsthataffecttrafficfromthewirelessclientstotheAP.By
usingtheUAPClientQoSfeatures,youcanlimitbandwidthandapplyACLsandDiffServpoliciestothewireless
interface.IfaVAPusesWPAEnterprisesecuritytoauthenticateclients,youcan
configuretheRADIUSserver
toprovideper‐clientQoSinformation.
Thissectiondescribesthefollowingfeatures:
• “ConfiguringVAPQoSParameters”
• “ManagingClientQoSACLs”
• “CreatingaDiffServClassMap”
• “CreatingaDiffServPolicyMap”
• “ConfiguringRADIUS‐AssignedClientQoSParameters”
ConfiguringVAPQoSParameters
TheclientQoSfeaturesontheUAP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.
FromtheVAPQoSParameterspage,youcan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.
ToconfiguretheClientQoSadministrativemodeandtoconfiguretheQoSsettingsforaVAP,clicktheVAPQoS
Parameterstab.
