Chapter15 Configuring QoS
Configuring QoS
QoS does not create additional bandwidth for your wireless LAN; it helps control the allocation of
bandwidth. If you have plenty of bandwidth on your wireless LAN, you might not need to configure
QoS.
The ampdu command is available for the 802.11n radio interfaces. Aggregate MAC protocol data
unit (AMPDU) is a structure containing multiple MPDUs transported as a single PSDU by the
physical layer. For additional information about this command, see the Cisco IOS Command
Reference for Cisco Aironet Access Points and Bridges.
Configuring QoS Using the Web-Browser Interface
This section describes configuring QoS using the web-browser interface.
For a list of Cisco IOS commands for configuring QoS using the CLI, consult the Cisco IOS Command
Reference for Cisco Aironet Access Points and Bridges.
Follow these steps to configure QoS:
Step1 If you use VLANs on your wireless LAN, make sure the necessary VLANs are configured on your access
point before configuring QoS.
Step2 Click Services in the general menu bar at the top of any page in the web-browser interface. When the
list of Services appears, click QoS. The QoS Policies page appears. Figure 15-2 shows the QoS Policies
page.

Step3 With <NEW> selected in the Create/Edit Policy field, type a name for the QoS policy in the Policy Name
entry field. The name can contain up to 25 alphanumeric characters. Do not include spaces in the policy
name.
