Management VLAN ID
—When the VLAN option is enabled, the value
entered (VLAN ID) in this field defines the VLAN that connects to the access
point. The default value is
1
. The VLAN should be accessible from the wired
side in order to use the web-based utility. To access the web-based utility
from the wireless side, the SSID needs to map to the same VLAN ID.
Remember to enable wireless web access in the Administration >
Management window.
STEP 3
Configure QoS settings by providing the following information for the VLAN global
settings for the access point:
•
Default CoS (Priority)
—Select
Enabled
to assign a default CoS value to
each SSID. This option is automatically enabled when the VLAN option is
enabled. The default is
Disabled
.
•
U-APSD
—This option is only available when Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) is
enabled on any of the SSIDs. Select
Enabled
to have client devices with
Unscheduled Automatic Power Save Delivery (U-APSD) capability take
advantage of the power save mode. The default is
Disabled
.
•
SSID Name
—Displays the SSIDs defined in the Basic Wireless Settings
window (Wireless > Basic Settings). If an SSID has been disabled, the
options cannot be configured.
•
VLAN ID
—Select a VLAN ID (
1
–
4094
) for the SSID for where you want to
map the traffic to, on the wired side. The wireless traffic does not carry VLAN
information. Multiple SSIDs can map to the same VLAN on the wired side.
•
Priority
—To assign the default priority (802.1p CoS bits) for packets coming
in from each wireless network, select a value from the drop-down menu. The
default is
Low
.
•
Tx Rate Limitation
—Limits the maximum data rate used in your network to
save bandwidth and power consumption on client devices. The actual data
rate is determined by the auto-fallback mechanism between your access
point and a client device. The default is
54 Mbps
for the Mixed or G-Only
wireless mode and
11 Mbps
for the B-Only mode.
•
WMM
—Wi-Fi Multimedia is a QoS feature defined by the WiFi Alliance
before IEEE 802.11e was finalized. Now it is part of IEEE 802.11e. When this
is enabled, it provides four priority queues for different types of traffic. It
automatically maps the incoming packets to the appropriate queues based
on QoS settings (in the IP or layer 2 header). WMM provides the capability to
prioritize wireless traffic in your environment. The default is
Disabled
(unchecked).
