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"
Note: The web‐based UI images in this section show the DWL‐8600AP administration pages. Pages
for the DWL‐3600AP will not display information for Radio 2 because it has only one radio.
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.
