Dual-Band Wireless AC Access Point WAC720 and WAC730 User Manual Configure and Manage Quality of Service Policies The access point lets you configure and apply QoS policies to WiFi clients. In each QoS policy, you can specify multiple classifications (match clauses) and apply traffic to eight priority queues based on the following information in the Layer 2, Layer 3, Layer 3 IP headers, and Layer 4: • IP precedence. Indicates the IP Type of Service (ToS) or precedence in the IP headers. • IP DSCP. Indicates the Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) marking in the IP header. • IP protocol 119. Indicates the IP protocol field in the IP header with value 119. • 802.1P. Indicates the 3-bit Class of Service (CoS) field in the class header. • IP protocol. Indicates the protocol field in the IP header. • EtherType. Indicates the EtherType field in Ethernet-II frame header. • Source MAC. Indicates the source MAC address in Ethernet-II frame header. • Destination MAC. Indicates the destination MAC address in Ethernet-II frame header. • Source IP. Indicates the source IP address in the IP header. • Destination IP. Indicates the destination IP address in the IP header. • Source port. Indicates the source port number in the port header. • Destination port. Indicates the destination port number in the port header. For each classification in a QoS policy, you can configure rate limiting by specifying the maximum bit rate and maximum burst rate. Packets that exceed the maximum bit rate are retained in the traffic queue and are processed when transmission falls again below the maximum bit rate.You can also configure the overall maximum bit rate and maximum burst rate for the entire WiFi interface. Configure a New QoS Policy You can configure up to eight QoS policies. To configure a new QoS policy: 1. Open a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as the access point or to the access point directly through an Ethernet cable. For more information, see Log In to the Access Point on page 16. 2. In the address bar, enter the IP address of the access point. A login window opens. 3. Enter the user name and password. The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and password are case-sensitive. Configure Advanced Network and WiFi Features 112

Configure and Manage Quality of Service Policies
The access point lets you configure and apply QoS policies to WiFi clients. In each QoS policy, you can
specify multiple classifications (match clauses) and apply traffic to eight priority queues based on the following
information in the Layer 2, Layer 3, Layer 3 IP headers, and Layer 4:
IP precedence
. Indicates the IP Type of Service (ToS) or precedence in the IP headers.
IP DSCP
. Indicates the Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) marking in the IP header.
I
P protocol 119
. Indicates the IP protocol field in the IP header with value 119.
802.1P
. Indicates the 3-bit Class of Service (CoS) field in the class header.
IP protocol
. Indicates the protocol field in the IP header.
EtherType
. Indicates the EtherType field in Ethernet-II frame header.
Source MAC
. Indicates the source MAC address in Ethernet-II frame header.
Destination MAC
. Indicates the destination MAC address in Ethernet-II frame header.
Source IP
. Indicates the source IP address in the IP header.
Destination IP
. Indicates the destination IP address in the IP header.
Source port
. Indicates the source port number in the port header.
Destination port
. Indicates the destination port number in the port header.
For each classification in a QoS policy, you can configure rate limiting by specifying the maximum bit rate
and maximum burst rate. Packets that exceed the maximum bit rate are retained in the traffic queue and
are processed when transmission falls again below the maximum bit rate.You can also configure the overall
maximum bit rate and maximum burst rate for the entire WiFi interface.
Configure a New QoS Policy
You can configure up to eight QoS policies.
To configure a new QoS policy:
1.
Open a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as the access point or to
the access point directly through an Ethernet cable.
For more information, see
Log In to the Access Point
on page 16.
2.
In the address bar, enter the IP address of the access point.
A login window opens.
3.
Enter the user name and password.
The user name is
admin
. The default password is
password
. The user name and password are
case-sensitive.
