Chapter 9 SSID Screen Table 30 Configuring SSID LABEL DESCRIPTION QoS Displays the Quality of Service priority for this BSS's traffic. • In the pre-configured VoIP_SSID profile, the QoS setting is VoIP. This is not user-configurable. The VoIP setting is available only on the VoIP_SSID profile, and provides the highest level of QoS. • 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 ATC from the QoS list, the NWA automatically assigns priority based on packet size. • If you select ATC+WMM from the QoS list, the NWA uses WMM on the wireless network and ATC on the wired network. • If you select WMM_VOICE, WMM_VIDEO, WMM_BEST_EFFORT 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. L2 Isolation Intra-BSS Traffic blocking MAC Filtering Apply Reset Note: When you configure an SSID profile's QoS settings, the NWA applies the same QoS setting to all of the profile's traffic. Select a layer 2 isolation profile from the drop-down list box. If you do not want to use layer 2 isolation on this profile, select Disable. Select Enable from the drop-down list box to prevent wireless clients in this profile's BSS from communicating with one another. Select a MAC filter profile from the drop-down list box. If you do not want to use MAC filtering on this profile, select Disable. Click Apply to save your changes. Click Reset to begin configuring this screen afresh. 9.3 Technical Reference This section provides technical background information about the topics covered in this chapter. 9.3.1 WMM QoS WMM (Wi-Fi MultiMedia) QoS (Quality of Service) ensures quality of service in wireless networks. It controls WLAN transmission priority on packets to be transmitted over the wireless network. WMM QoS prioritizes wireless traffic according to the delivery requirements of the individual and applications. WMM QoS is a part of the IEEE 802.11e QoS enhancement to certified Wi-Fi wireless networks. NWA-3160 Series User's Guide 153
