• 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 the
transmission queues for optimized throughput and better performance when
handling differentiated wireless traffic, such as VoIP, other types of audio, video,
streaming media, and traditional IP data.
To configure QoS on the WAP device, you should set the parameters on the
transmission queues for different types of wireless traffic and specify the
minimum and maximum wait times (through the contention windows) for
transmission.
The WAP Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA) parameters affect traffic
flowing from the WAP device to the client station. The 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 the station EDCA should
not need to be changed. Changing these values affects the QoS provided.
To configure the WAP device and Station EDCA parameters:
Select Wireless > Quality of Service.
Choose the radio interface (Radio1 or Radio2).
Choose one of these options from the EDCA Template list:
• WFA Defaults—Populates the WAP device and the Station EDCA
parameters with WiFi Alliance default values, which are best for general,
mixed traffic.
