WMM QoS Mode 337

You also can use ACLs to override marking for specific packets. Configure ACEs that use the dscp option to match on ingress DSCP value, and use the cos option to mark CoS. A CoS value assigned by an ACE overrides the internal CoS value. (For information, see “Using ACLs to Change CoS” on page 399.)

WMM QoS on a MAP MAPs use forwarding queues to prioritize traffic for wireless clients.

For a packet received by the MAP from a client, the MAP classifies the packet based on the service type in the 802.11 header and maps the service type value to an internal CoS value. The MAP then marks the DSCP value in the IP tunnel header to the WX switch based on the internal CoS value.

For a packet received from a WX switch and addressed to a client, the MAP classifies the packet by mapping the DSCP value in the IP tunnel header to an internal CoS value. The MAP then assigns the packet to a forwarding queue based on the internal CoS value. The MAP also marks the service type in the 802.11 header based on the internal CoS value.

A MAP uses the DSCP-to-CoS and CoS-to-DSCP mappings of the WX switch that is managing it. If you change mappings on a WX switch, the change also applies to the MAP. Likewise, if a MAP changes to another WX switch (for example, after a MAP restart), the MAP uses the mappings in effect on the new WX.

If the use-client-dscpoption is enabled for a service profile, WMM QoS is ignored, and the QoS level is classified based on the DSCP value.

802.11data packets without WMM are classified as QoS level 0 unless static CoS is enabled or the use-client-dscpoption is enabled.

Table 28 lists the default mappings between a MAP’s internal CoS values and its forwarding queues.
