Bandwidth Rate
Inbound Rate: Inbound traffic is sent from the client to the network. Rate limits are enforced on a per-
client basis whether the rate limit is assigned to a rule or role. Each client has its own set of counters
that are used to monitor its wireless network utilization. Traffic from other clients never count against a
client's rate limits. Maximum Number of Limiters per Group: 8 inbound.
Outbound Rate: Outbound traffic is sent from the network towards the client. Maximum Number of
Limiters per Group: 8 outbound.
Configure the following parameters to configure a new Bandwidth Limit:
Name
The name for the rate limit.
Average Rate (CIR) The rate at which the network supports data transfer under normal operations. It is measured
in kilo bits per second (Kbps).

VLANS
VLANs are logical subnets. Many VLANs can coexist on a single Ethernet cable (typically referred to as a
'VLAN Trunk'). The AP is a VLAN-aware bridging device. It can place traffic on any VLAN to which it is
exposed. Other options are bridging locally at EWC and Fabric Attach. Fabric Attach allows the AP to
connect to a Fabric Network.
It is not necessary to include a VLAN tag in a packet that is being transmitted over a VLAN. A packet
transmitted without a VLAN tag is said to be untagged. Since there is no way to identify the VLAN to
which an untagged packet belongs, there can be only one untagged VLAN on a VLAN trunk.
It is common practice to place all AP management traffic on an untagged VLAN and place user traffic
on tagged VLANs. ExtremeCloud Appliance preconfigures switches with a single untagged VLAN that
is used for managing access points and the switches themselves.
Another common option is to place all traffic on a single untagged VLAN. This is a simpler option to use
when a network's applications do not benefit from VLAN deployment.
ExtremeCloud Appliance fully supports mixing tagged and untagged traffic. An AP wired interface can
be an untagged member of one VLAN and a tagged member of several other VLANs simultaneously.
With switches, all administrator-created VLANs in ExtremeCloud Appliance are classified as tagged
VLANs. When a tagged VLAN is assigned to a port, the port is configured to expect all traffic received
from the VLAN or sent to the VLAN to be tagged. You can override the tagging on a per-port basis for
the ports types Host and Other.
