3.4 Configuring a VAP QoS Policy
To apply the priority mapping and traffic suppression functions to a virtual AP (VAP), create a
traffic profile and bind the traffic profile to a service set.
Applicable Environment
To forward an 802.11 packet sent from a STA to an Ethernet network, an AP converts the 802.11
packet into an 802.3 packet. The AP may retain the packet priority or change the packet priority
according to the VAP configuration to provide differentiated QoS services.
Pre-configuration Tasks
Before configuring a VAP QoS policy, complete the following tasks:
l Configuring basic WLAN attributes according to 1.4 Configuring the WLAN Service
Data Preparation
To configure a VAP QoS policy, you need the following data.
No. Data
1 Traffic profile name or traffic profile ID
2 (Optional) Mappings from user priorities to 802.1p priorities
and mappings from 802.1p priorities to user priorities
3 (Optional) Packet rate limit
Procedure
Step 1 Run:
system-view
The system view is displayed.
Step 2 Run:
wlan
The WLAN view is displayed.
Step 3 Run:
traffic-profile { name profile-name | id profile-id }
*
A traffic profile is configured.
After a traffic profile is created, parameters in the profile use default values. To view the
configuration of a traffic profile, run the display traffic-profile { all | id profile-id | name
profile-name } command.
View attributes of the traffic profile traffic-profile-1.
