Client QoS Association

 

 

 

 

 

•Mark Class of Service—Marks all packets for the associated traffic stream with the specified class of service value in the priority field of the 802.1p header. If the packet does not already contain this header, one is inserted. The CoS value is an integer from 0 to 7.

•Mark IP DSCP—Marks all packets for the associated traffic stream with the IP DSCP value you select from the list or specify.

-Select from List—A list of DSCP types.

-Match to Value—A DSCP value that you specify. The value is an integer between 0 to 63.

•Mark IP Precedence—Marks all packets for the associated traffic stream with the specified IP precedence value. The IP precedence value is an integer from 0 to 7.

•Disassociate Class Map—Removes the class selected in the Class Map Name list from the policy selected in the Policy Map Name list.

•Member Classes—Lists all DiffServ classes currently defined as members of the selected policy. If no class is associated with the policy, the field is empty.

STEP 7 Click Save. The changes are saved to the Startup Configuration.

NOTE To delete a policy map, select it in the Policy Map Name list and click Delete.

Client QoS Association

The Client QoS Association page provides additional control over certain QoS aspects of wireless clients that connect to the network, such as the amount of bandwidth an individual client is allowed to send and receive. To control general categories of traffic, such as HTTP traffic or traffic from a specific subnet, you can configure ACLs and assign them to one or more VAPs.

In addition to controlling general traffic categories, Client QoS allows you to configure per-client conditioning of various micro-flows through Differentiated Services (DiffServ). DiffServ policies are a useful tool for establishing general micro-flow definition and treatment characteristics that can be applied to each wireless client, both inbound and outbound, when it is authenticated on the network.

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.
