Configuring Quality of Service (QoS)

Configuring WAN QoS Profiles

STEP 1
STEP 2
Cisco RV180/RV180W Administration Guide
The Cisco RV180/RV180W lets you configure the following Quality of Service
(QoS) features:
• Configuring WAN QoS Profiles, page 131
• Configuring Profile Binding, page 133
• Configuring CoS Settings, page 134
• Mapping CoS Settings to DSCP Values, page 135
WAN QoS profiles let you manage the bandwidth of the traffic flowing from the
secure network (LAN) to the insecure network (WAN).
You can configure WAN QoS profiles to control the rate at which the RV180/
RV180W transmits data. For example, limiting the outbound traffic helps you
prevent the LAN users from consuming all of the bandwidth of the Internet link.
Configuring Global Settings
To configure the WAN QoS global settings:
Choose QoS > WAN QoS Profiles.
Under Global Settings:
a. To enable WAN QoS, check Enable.
b. Set the WAN QoS mode by clicking the Priority or Rate Limit radio button. The
Priority option lets you allocate bandwidth based on a priority level. The Rate
Limit option lets you specify the total WAN bandwidth (1–100 Mbps).
