3. Assign a name to the new or edited QoS policy that makes sense to the Brocade Mobility
7131N-FGR Access Point traffic receiving priority. More than one WLAN can use the same QoS
policy.
4. Select the Support Voice prioritization checkbox to allow legacy voice prioritization.
Certain products may not receive priority over other voice or data traffic. Consequently, ensure
the Support Voice Prioritization checkbox is selected if using products that do not support Wi-Fi
Multimedia (WMM) to provide preferred queuing for these VOIP products.
If the Support Voice Prioritization checkbox is selected, the access point will detect non-WMM
capable (legacy) phones that connect to the access point and provide priority queueing for
their traffic over normal data.
NOTE
Wi-fi functionality requires both the access point and its associated clients are WMM-capable
and have WMM enabled. WMM enabled devices can take advantage of their QoS functionality
only if using applications that support WMM, and can assign an appropriate priority level to the
traffic streams they generate.
5. Use the two Multicast Address fields to specify one or two MAC addresses used for multicast
applications. Some VoIP devices make use of multicast addresses. Using this mechanism
ensures multicast packets for these devices are not delayed by the packet queue. Only the first
four bytes are used.
6. Use the drop-down menu to select the radio traffic best representing the network requirements
of this WLAN. Options include:
CAUTION
Brocade recommends using the drop-down menu to define the intended radio traffic within the
WLAN. Once an option is selected, you do not need to adjust the values for the Access
Categories, unless qualified to do so. Changing the Access Category default values could
negatively impact the performance of the access point.
manual Select the manual option if intending to manually set the Access
Categories for the radio traffic within this WLAN. Only advanced
users should manually configure the Access Categories, as setting
them inappropriately could negatively impact the access point’s
performance.
