Class Map

For each bit position in the MAC mask, a 0 indicates that the corresponding address bit is significant and a 1 indicates that the address bit is ignored. For example, to check only the first four octets of a MAC address, a MAC mask of 00:00:00:00:ff:ff is used. A MAC mask of 00:00:00:00:00:00 checks all address bits and is used to match a single MAC address.

•Destination MAC Address—The destination MAC address to compare against an Ethernet frame.

•Destination MAC Mask—The destination MAC address mask specifying which bits in the destination MAC to compare against an Ethernet frame.

•VLAN ID—A VLAN ID to be matched for packets. The VLAN ID range is from 0 to 4095.

The following Service Type fields show for IPv4 only. You can specify one type of service to use in matching packets to class criteria.

•IP DSCP—A differentiated services code point (DSCP) value to use as a match criterion:

-Select from List—A list of DSCP types.

-Match to Value—A DSCP value that you specify, from 0 to 63.

•IP Precedence (IPv4 only)—Matches the packet's IP Precedence value to the class criteria IP Precedence value. The IP Precedence range is from 0 to 7.

•IP TOS Bits (IPv4 only)—Uses the packet's Type of Service bits in the IP header as match criteria.

The IP TOS bit value ranges between (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.

STEP 3 Click Save. The changes are saved to the Startup Configuration.

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.
