DESCRIPTION

 

 

QoS

Select the Quality of Service priority for this BSS’s traffic.

 

• If you select WMM from the QoS list, the priority of a data packet depends on the

 

packet’s IEEE 802.1q or DSCP header. If a packet has no WMM value assigned to

 

it, it is assigned the default priority.

 

• If you select WMM_VOICE, WMM_VIDEO, WMM_BESTEFFORT or

 

WMM_BACKGROUND, the NWA applies that QoS setting to all of that SSID’s

 

traffic.

 

• If you select None, the NWA applies no priority to traffic on this SSID.

 

Note: When you configure an SSID profile’s QoS settings, the NWA applies the same

 

QoS setting to all of the profile’s traffic.

Packets coming from the WLAN using this SSID profile are tagged with the VLAN ID
