Enabling Bandwidth Contract Support for RAPs

This release of ArubaOS provides Bandwidth Contract support on remote APs. This is achieved by extending the Bandwidth Contract support on split-tunnel and bridge modes.

You can apply Bandwidth Contract for a RAP on a per-user or per-role basis. By default, Bandwidth Contract is applied on a per-role basis. This implies that all the users belonging to the same role will share the bandwidth pool. When Bandwidth Contract configured on the controller is attached to a user-role, it automatically gets pushed to the RAPs terminating on it.

The following show commands have been enhanced in this release to retrieve the Bandwidth Contract information from the RAP:

show datapath user ap-name <ap-name> show datapath bwm ap-name <ap-name>

NOTE: Bandwidth Contract is not supported on legacy APs such as AP6x, AP70 and RAP-2 due to memory constrains.

Configuring Bandwidth Contracts for RAP

You can configure bandwidth contracts for RAP on a per-role or per-user basis. The following examples illustrate how to configure, apply, and verify the Bandwidth Contracts on the RAPs.

Defining Bandwidth Contracts

Use the following command to define a 256 Kbps contract:

(host) (config) #aaa bandwidth-contract 256k kbits 256

Use the following command to 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-user basis.

Applying Contracts Per-Role

Use the following commands to apply the contracts on a per-role basis for upstream and downstream: For upstream contract 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

Applying Contracts Per-User

Use the following commands to apply the contracts on a per-user basis for upstream and downstream:

For upstream contract 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
