4. Refer to the following read-only information to determine whether an existing policy can be used as is, an existing policy
requires edit or a new policy requires creation:
WLAN QoS Policy
Wireless Client
Classification
SVP Prioritization
WMM Power Save
Multicast Mask Primary
Multicast Mask
Secondary
NOTE: When using a wireless client classification other than WMM, only legacy rates
are supported on that WLAN.
Displays the name assigned to each listed WLAN QoS. The policy name cannot be edited.
Lists each policy's Wireless Client Classification as defined for this WLAN's intended
traffic. The Classification Categories are the different WLAN-WMM options available to
a radio. Classification types include:
• WMM – Implies WiFi Multimedia QoS extensions are enabled on this radio. This
allows different traffic streams between the wireless client and the access point to be
prioritized according to the type of traffic (voice, video etc). The WMM classification is
required to support the high throughput data rates required of 802.11n device support.
• Voice – Optimized for voice traffic. Implies all traffic on this WLAN is prioritized as
voice traffic on the radio.
• Video – Optimized for video traffic. Implies all traffic on this WLAN is prioritized as
video traffic on the radio.
• Normal – Optimized for best effort traffic. Implies all traffic on this WLAN is prioritized
as best effort traffic on the radio.
• Low – Optimized for background traffic. Implies all traffic on this WLAN is low priority
on the radio.
A green check mark defines the policy as having Spectralink Voice Prioritization (SVP)
enabled to allow the access point to identify and prioritize traffic from Spectralink/
Polycomm phones using the SVP protocol. Phones using regular WMM and SIP are not
impacted by SVP prioritization. A red "X" defines the QoS policy as not supporting SVP
prioritization.
Enables support for the WMM based power-save mechanism, also known as Unscheduled
Automatic Power Save Delivery (U-APSD). This is primarily used by WMM capable voice
devices. The default setting is enabled.
Displays the primary multicast mask defined for each listed QoS policy. Normally all
multicast and broadcast packets are buffered until the periodic DTIM interval (indicated
in the 802.11 beacon frame), when clients in power save mode wake to check for frames.
However, for certain applications and traffic types, an administrator may want the frames
transmitted immediately, without waiting for the DTIM interval. By configuring a primary
and secondary multicast mask, an administrator can indicate which frames are
transmitted immediately. Setting masks is optional, and only needed if there are traffic
types requiring special handling.
Displays the secondary multicast mask defined for each listed QoS policy.
