356Configuring and Managing Security ACLs

AP forwarding prioritization occurs automatically for Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) traffic. You do not need to configure ACLs to provide WMM prioritization. For non-WMM devices, you can provide AP forwarding prioritization by configuring ACLs.

If you disable WMM, AP forwarding prioritization is optimized for SpectraLink Voice Priority (SVP) instead of WMM, and the AP does not tag packets it sends to the WSS. Otherwise, the classification and tagging described in “How WMM Works in WSS Software” on page 305 remain in effect.

If you plan to use SVP or another non-WMM type of prioritization, you must configure ACLs to tag the packets. (See “Enabling Prioritization for Legacy Voice over IP” on page 376.)

Optionally, for WMM or non-WMM traffic, you can use ACLs to change the priority of traffic sent to an AP or VLAN. (To change CoS for WMM or non-WMM traffic, see “Using ACLs to Change CoS” on page 374.)
