Section 8 - Configuring Client Quality of Service (QoS)

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" on page 88
•) "Managing Client QoS ACLs" on page 89
•) "Creating a DiffServ Class Map" on page 95
•) "Creating a DiffServ Policy Map" on page 100
•) "Configuring RADIUS-Assigned Client QoS Parameters" on page 102

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.

Figure 58 - Configure Client QoS VAP Settings

Description
Enable or disable Client QoS operation on the AP.
Changing this setting will not affect the WMM settings you configure on the QoS page.
For dual-radio APs, select Radio 1 or Radio 2 to specify which radio to configure.
Specify the VAP that will have the Client QoS settings that you configure.
The QoS settings you configure for the selected VAP will not affect clients that access the
network through other VAPs.
