NOTE

Statically setting a WLAN WMM access category value only prioritizes traffic from the to the client,
not from the client.

Rate limits can be applied to WLANs using groups defined locally or externally from a RADIUS
server using Brocade Vendor Specific Attributes (VSAs). Rate limits can be applied to
authenticating users using 802.1X, captive portal authentication and MAC authentication.

Configuring Radio QoS Policies

Radio QoS Policy

To configure a radio’s QoS policy:

1. .Select Configuration > Wireless > Radio QoS Policy to display existing Radio QoS policies.

FIGURE 32

Radio QoS Policy screen

The Radio QoS Policy screen lists those radio QoS policies created thus far. Any of these
policies can be selected and applied.

2. Refer to the following information listed for each existing Radio QoS policy:

Radio QoS Policy

Displays the name of each Radio QoS policy. This is the name set for each listed policy when it was
created and cannot be modified as part of the policy edit process.

Firewall detection traffic
Enable (e.g., SIP)

A green check mark defines the policy as applying radio QoS settings to traffic detected by the
Firewall. A red “X” defines the policy as having Firewall detection disabled. When enabled, the
Firewall simulates the reception of frames for voice traffic when the voice traffic was originated via
SIP or SCCP control traffic. If a client exceeds configured values, the call is stopped and/or received
voice frames are forwarded at the next non admission controlled traffic class priority. This applies
to clients that do not send TPSEC frames only.

Implicit TPSEC

A green check mark defines the policy as requiring wireless clients to send their traffic
specifications to a controller or service platform managed Access Point before they can transmit or
receive data. If enabled, this setting applies to just this radio’s QoS policy. When enabled, the
Access Point simulates the reception of frames for any traffic class by looking at the amount of
traffic the client is receiving and sending. If the client sends more traffic than has been configured
for an admission controlled traffic class, the traffic is forwarded at the priority of the next non
admission controlled traffic class. This applies to clients that do not send TPSEC frames only.
