5.24 WMM Commands
The AP implements QoS using the WiFi Multimedia (WMM) standard. Using
WMM, the AP is able to prioritize traffic and optimize performance when multiple
applications compete for wireless network bandwidth at the same time. WMM
employs techniques that are a subset of the developing IEEE 802.11e QoS
standard and it enables the AP to inter-operate with both WMM- enabled clients
and other devices that may lack any WMM functionality.
The WMM commands supported by the AP are listed below.

5.24.1 wmm

This command sets the WMM operational mode on the AP. Use the no form to
disable WMM.
Syntax
[no] wmm <supported | required>
•supported - WMM will be used for any associated device that supports this feature. Devices that
do not support this feature may still associate with the AP.
•required - WMM must be supported on any device trying to associated with the AP. Devices that
do not support this feature will not be allowed to associate with the AP.
