Section 8 - Configuring Client Quality of Service (QoS)
MAC ACLs
MAC ACLs are Layer 2 ACLs. You can configure the rules to inspect fields of a frame such as the source or
destination MAC address, the VLAN ID, or the Class of Service 802.1p priority. When a frame enters or exits the AP
port (depending on whether the ACL is applied in the up or down direction), the AP inspects the frame and checks the
ACL rules against the content of the frame. If any of the rules match the content, a permit or deny action is taken on
the frame.
ACL Configuration Process
Configure ACLs and rules on the
Client QoS ACL
page (steps 1–5), and then apply the rules to a specified VAP on
the
AP QoS Parameters
page (step 6).
Use the following general steps to configure ACLs:
1.) Specify a name for the ACL.
2.) Select the type of ACL to add.
3.) Add the ACL.
4.) Add new rules to the ACL.
5.)
Configure the match criteria for the rules.
6.) Apply the ACL to one or more VAPs.
For an example of how to configure an ACL, see
“ACL Configuration Process” on page
90.
To configure an ACL, click the
Client QoS ACL
tab.
The fields to configure ACL rules appear only after you have created an ACL. The following image shows the
configuration of a new rule for the IPv4 ACL named acl1. The rule prevents HTTP traffic from all clients in the
192.168.20.0 network from being forwarded.
