QoS

QoS Mode drop‐down menu selections:

Source Address allows you to specify priorities based on source MAC address. Specify source MAC addresses and associated priority levels in the MAC Address table.

Destination Address allows you to specify priorities based on destination MAC address. Specify destination MAC addresses and associated priority levels in the MAC Address table.

Ethernet Type allows you to specify priorities based on Ethernet types. Specify Ethernet types and associated priority levels in the Ethernet Type table. If you are using the CLI, the Ethernet type must be specified in the format HEX 0000‐FFFF (see the ISO Designator table listed in the Filter Control Web page).

802.1p is a specification that provides Layer 2 switches the ability to prioritize traffic (and perform dynamic multicast filtering). The prioritization specification works at the media access control (MAC) framing layer of the OSI model. To be compliant with 802.1p, Layer 2 switches must be capable of grouping incoming LAN packets into separate traffic classes.

Other than selecting 802.1p, and then clicking on Apply, there is no other user intervention on the access point. Priorities are set on the switch.

SVP Status enables or disables the AP QoS to utilize Speculation Voice Priority (SVP) to give voice packets priority over data packets on the AP. Default: Disable

QoS Classifications are set in conjunction with the selected QoS mode. See Table 4‐2 for a list of QoS classifications associated with QoS modes.
