Section 8 - Configuring Client Quality of Service (QoS)
Defining DiffServ
To use DiffServ for Client QoS, use the
Class Map
and
Policy Map
pages to define the following categories and their
criteria:
•) Class: create classes and define class criteria
•) Policy: create policies, associate classes with policies, and define policy statements
Once you define the class and associate it with a policy, apply the policy to a specified VAP on the
VAP QoS
Parameters
page.
Packets are classified and processed based on defined criteria. The classification criteria is defined by a class. The
processing is defined by a policy’s attributes. Policy attributes may be defined on a per-class instance basis, and it is
these attributes that are applied when a match occurs. A policy can contain multiple classes. When the policy is active,
the actions taken depend on which class matches the packet.
Packet processing begins by testing the class match criteria for a packet. A policy is applied to a packet when a class
match within that policy is found. DiffServ is supported for IPv4 and IPv6 packets.
Use the
Class Map
page to add a new Diffserv class name, or to rename or delete an existing class, and define the
criteria to associate with the DiffServ class.
To configure a DiffServ Class Map, click the
Class Map
tab.
Note:
The
Class Map
page displays the Match Criteria Configuration fields only if a Class Map
has been created. To create a Class Map, enter a name in the Class Map Name field and click
Add Class Map
.
