- WPA Personal
• MAC Filtering—Select one of these options:
- Disabled—The set of clients in the APs BSS that can access the upstream network
is not restricted to the clients specified in a MAC address list.
- Local—The set of clients in the APs BSS that can access the upstream network is
restricted to the clients specified in a locally defined MAC address list.
- RADIUS—The set of clients in the APs BSS that can access the upstream network
is restricted to the clients specified in a MAC address list on a RADIUS server.
If you select Local or RADIUS, see
MAC filter list.
• VLAN ID—Configure the Access Point Interface with the same VLAN ID as
advertised on the Infrastructure Client Interface.
Click Save. The changes are saved to the Startup Configuration.
The associated downstream clients now have connectivity to the upstream network.
The quality of service (QoS) settings provide you with the ability to configure transmission
queues for optimized throughput and better performance when handling differentiated wireless
traffic, such as Voice-over-IP (VoIP), other types of audio, video, streaming media, and
traditional IP data.
To configure QoS on the WAP device, you set parameters on the transmission queues for
different types of wireless traffic and specify minimum and maximum wait times (through
contention windows) for transmission.
WAP Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA) parameters affect traffic flowing from
the WAP device to the client station.
Station EDCA parameters affect traffic flowing from the client station to the WAP device.
In normal use, the default values for the WAP device and station EDCA should not need to be
changed. Changing these values affects the QoS provided.
To configure WAP device and Station EDCA parameters:
