VLAN Tag—Select Tagged to determine the associated VLAN from the VLAN tag. The default is Untagged.

AP Management VLAN—Specify the VLAN ID used for management.

VLAN Tag over WDS—SelectEnabled or Disabled as required.

STEP 3 To configure the QoS settings, enter the following information:

VLAN ID—Enter the ID to assign to the VLAN.

Priority—Select a priority from the list.

WMM—To enable WMM, check the corresponding check box.

Wi-Fi Multimedia is a QoS feature defined by WiFi Alliance before IEEE 802.11e was finalized. Now it is part of IEEE 802.11e. When it is enabled, it provides four priority queues for different types of traffic. It automatically maps the incoming packets to the appropriate queues based on QoS settings (in IP or layer 2 header). WMM provides the capability to prioritize traffic in your environment.
