Setting the WLAN Quality of Service (QoS) policy
The Brocade Mobility 7131N-FGR Access Point can keep a list of QoS policies that can be used
from the New WLAN or Edit WLAN screens to map to individual WLANs. Use the Quality of Service
Configuration screen to configure WMM policies that can improve the user experience for audio,
video and voice applications by shortening the time between packet transmissions for higher
priority (multimedia) traffic.
Use the Quality of Service Configuration screen to define the QoS policies for advanced network
traffic management and multimedia applications support. If the existing QoS policies are
insufficient, a new policy can be created or an existing policy can be modified using the New QoS
Policy or Edit QoS Policy screens. Once new policies are defined, they are available for use within
the New WLAN or Edit WLAN screens to assign to specific WLANs based on MU interoperability
requirements.
Brocade recommends using the New QoS Policy and Edit QoS Policy screens strategically to name
and configure QoS policies meeting the requirements of the particular WLANs they may to.
However, be careful not to name policies after specific WLANs, as individual QoS policies can be
used by more than one WLAN. For detailed information on assigning QoS policies to specific
WLANs, see
“Creating/editing individual WLANs” on page 121.
To configure QoS policies:
1. Select Network Configuration -> Wireless -> QoS from the Brocade Mobility 7131N-FGR Access
Point menu tree.
The Quality of Service Configuration screen displays with existing QoS policies and their
current WLAN (if mapped to a WLAN).
NOTE
When the Brocade Mobility 7131N-FGR Access Point is first launched, a single QoS policy
(default) is available and mapped to WLAN 1. It is anticipated additional QoS policies will be
created as the list of WLANs grows.
