Enabling Bandw idth Contract Support for RAPs
This releaseof ArubaOS provides Bandwidth Contract support on remote APs. This is achieved by extendingthe
Bandwidth Contract support on split-tunnel and bridgemodes.
You can apply Bandwidth Contract for a RAP on a per-user or per-role basis. By default,B andwidthC ontract is
appliedo na per-role basis. This implies that all the users belongingt o the same rolewi llshare the bandwidth pool.
WhenBandwidth Contract configured on the controller is attached to a user-role, it automatically gets pushed to
the RAPs terminating on it.
The followingshow commands have been enhanced in this release to retrieve the Bandwidth Contract information
fromt heR AP:
show datapath user ap-name <ap-name>
show datapath bwm ap-name <ap-name>
NOTE:Bandwi dthC ontracti s not supportedon legacy APs such as AP6x, AP70 and RAP-2 due to memory constrains.
Configuring Bandwidth C ontracts for RAP
You can configurebandwidth co ntracts for RAP on a per-role or per-user basis. The following examplesillustrate how
to configure,apply, and verify the Bandwidth Contracts on the RAPs.
Defining Bandwidt h Contracts
Use the following commandt o define a 256 Kbps contract:
(host) (config) #aaa bandwidth-contract 256k kbits 256
Use the following commandt o define a 512 Kbps contract
(host) (config) #aaa bandwidth-contract 512k kbits 512
Applying Contracts
You can apply the contract on a per-role or per-userbasis.
ApplyingContracts Per-Role
Use the followingco mmandsto apply the contracts o na per-role basis for upstream and downstream:
For upstreamco ntract of 512 Kbps:
(host) (config) #user-role authenticated bw-contract 512k upstream
For downstream contract of 256 Kbps:
(host) (config) #user-role authenticated bw-contract 256k downstream
ApplyingContracts Per-User
Use the followingco mmandsto apply the contracts o na per-user basis for upstream and downstream:
For upstreamco ntract of 512 Kbps:
(host) (config) #user-role authenticated bw-contract 512k per-user upstream
For downstream contract of 256 Kbps:
(host) (config) #user-role authenticated bw-contract 256k per-user downstream
