IP DSCP—Matches packets based on their IP DSCP value.

If you select IP DSCP, choose one of these options as the match criteria:

-Select From List—DSCP Assured Forwarding (AS), Class of Service (CS), or Expedited Forwarding (EF) values.

-Match to Value—A custom DSCP value, from 0 to 63.

IP Precedence—Matches packets based on their IP Precedence value. If selected, enter an IP Precedence value from 0 to 7.

IP TOS Bits—Specifies a value to use the packet's Type of Service bits in the IP header as match criteria.

The IP TOS field in a packet is defined as all eight bits of the Service Type octet in the IP header. The IP TOS Bits value is a two-digit hexadecimal number from 00 to ff.

The high-order three bits represent the IP precedence value. The high-order six bits represent the IP Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) value.

IP TOS Mask—Enter an IP TOS Mask value to identify the bit positions in the IP TOS Bits value that are used for comparison against the IP TOS field in a packet.

The IP TOS Mask value is a two-digit hexadecimal number from 00 to FF, representing an inverted (that is, wildcard) mask. The zero-valued bits in the IP TOS Mask denote the bit positions in the IP TOS Bits value that are used for comparison against the IP TOS field of a packet. For example, to check for an IP TOS value having bits 7 and 5 set and bit 1 clear, where bit 7 is most significant, use an IP TOS Bits value of 0 and an IP TOS Mask of 00.

For IPv6 ACLs, configure these parameters:

Protocol—Select the Protocol field to use a Layer 3 or Layer 4 protocol match condition based on the value of the IP Protocol field in IPv4 packets or the Next Header field in IPv6 packets.

If you select this field, choose the protocol to match by keyword or protocol ID.

Source IPv6 Address—Select this field to require a packet's source IPv6 address to match the address listed here. Enter an IPv6 address in the appropriate field to apply this criteria.

WAP121, WAP321 specifications

Cisco Systems has long been recognized for its innovation in networking technologies, and the Cisco WAP321 and WAP121 access points are prime examples of its commitment to delivering reliable, high-performance wireless networking solutions for small and medium-sized businesses. These devices offer a robust set of features designed to meet the requirements of modern wireless networking while ensuring ease of use and deployment.

The Cisco WAP321 is a dual-band access point that operates in both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands, providing flexibility and improved performance in crowded environments. With support for the 802.11n Wi-Fi standard, it boasts a combined data rate of up to 450 Mbps, enabling high-speed connections for multiple users simultaneously. The WAP321 also includes advanced features such as multiple SSIDs and VLAN support, allowing businesses to segment their networks for enhanced security and management control.

One of the standout characteristics of the WAP321 is its ability to act as a lightweight access point, meaning it can be managed through a Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) for larger deployments. This capability allows for centralized management of multiple access points, making it easier for IT administrators to deploy, configure, and monitor their network infrastructure.

On the other hand, the Cisco WAP121 is designed for those requiring a simpler, more cost-effective solution. This single-band access point also operates on the 2.4 GHz band but still provides robust performance with wireless speeds reaching up to 300 Mbps. It is ideal for small businesses looking to develop or expand their wireless networks without the complexities associated with more advanced systems.

Both models feature Power over Ethernet (PoE) capability, enabling them to receive power through the Ethernet cable, which simplifies installation and reduces the need for additional power outlets. Additionally, they support advanced security protocols, including WPA/WPA2 encryption, ensuring that sensitive data transmitted over the network remains protected from unauthorized access.

The ease of setup and user-friendly management interfaces of both the WAP321 and WAP121 make them appealing options for businesses lacking extensive IT resources. With features aimed at enhancing both performance and security, these access points represent powerful tools for achieving reliable wireless connectivity in a business environment. Whether organizations opt for the WAP321 for its extensive capabilities or the WAP121 for its simplicity, both access points reflect Cisco's dedication to meeting diverse networking needs.
