Create/Edit Policy
If you are entering a new policy, make sure <NEW>
(the default) is selected in the Create/Edit Policy menu. To edit
an existing policy, select the policy name from the Create/Edit
Policy menu.
Policy Name
Enter a policy name to attach to an input or
output interface.
Classifications
Classification is the process of distinguishing
one kind of traffic from another by examining the fields in the
packet. Specify the fields in the frame or packet you want to
use to classify incoming traffic.
Match Classifications
All switches and routers that access the Internet
rely on the class information to provide the same forwarding treatment
to packets with the same class information and different treatment
to packets with different class information.
IP Precedence
Eight IP precedence values are defined in RFC791.
Select any of them as matching criteria.
IP DSCP
IP DSCP (Differentiated Service Code Point)
is defined in RFC2474. Select IP DSCP values as matching criteria.
Filter
If you have filters set up, you can assign
a priority to packets that match the selected filter. In the
Filter drop-down menu, select which filter you want to include
in the policy. For example, you could assign a high priority
to a MAC address filter that includes the MAC addresses of IP
phones.
Note: The access list you use
in QoS does not affect the access point's packet forwarding
decisions.
Apply Class of Service
Determine the class of service that the access
point will apply to packets that match the filter. The access
point matches your filter selection with your class of service
selection. These services are configured on the Traffic
Class Definition page.
Click the Add button beside the Class
of Service menu for Default classification for packets on the
VLAN. The classification appears in the Classifications field.
After QoS policies are created and applied, you
can assign the policies to ingoing or outgoing traffic of any
of the two interfaces.
Incoming
Use the drop-down menu to choose which policy
you want to assign for FastEthernet and 802.11A radio interfaces.
Outgoing
Use the drop-down menu to choose which policy
you want to assign for FastEthernet and 802.11A radio interfaces.
