Configuring QoS

Step3 Enter the values for the following:

•Client-Rssi—Minimum Receive Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) required for the client to be

eligible for band select. The range is from 20 to 90.

•Cycle-Count—Number of probe requests on the 2.4 GHz band that the access point ignores.

•Cycle-Threshold (ms)—Time in milliseconds that the access point can expect each probe request

burst cycle from the client. The range is from 1 to 1000.

•Expire-Dual-Band (secs)—Time after which dual-band clients will be declared as new and may

have their probe request frames delayed or ignored again. The range is from 10 to 300.

•Expire-Suppression (secs)—Time after which 2.4 GHz-only clients will be declared as new and may

have their probe frames delayed or ignored again. The range is from 10 to 200.

Step4 Click Apply.

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, use these commands to configure BandSelect using the access

point CLI:

- ap(config)# dot11 band-select parameters

- ap(config-bs-profile)# cycle-count?

- ap(config-bs-profile)# cycle-threshold?

- ap(config-bs-profile)# expire-suppression?

- ap(config-bs-profile)# expire-dual-band?

- ap(config-bs-profile)# client-rssi?

- ap (config)# dot11 ssid abcd

- ap(config-ssid)# band-select

Configuring QoS

QoS is disabled by default (however, the radio interface always honors tagged 802.1P packets even when

you have not configured a QoS policy). This section describes how to configure QoS on your access

point. It contains this configuration information:

•Configuration Guidelines, page15-6

•Configuring QoS Using the Web-Browser Interface, page15-7

•Adjusting Radio Access Categories, page15-12

•AVVID Priority Mapping, page15-11

Configuration Guidelines

Before configuring QoS on your access point, you should be aware of this information:

•The most important guideline in QoS deployment is to be familiar with the traffic on your wireless

LAN. If you know the applications used by wireless client devices, the applications’ sensitivity to

delay, and the amount of traffic associated with the applications, you can configure QoS to improve

performance.
