Packets are classified and processed based on defined criteria. The classification criteria is defined by a class on the Class Map page. The processing is defined by a policy's attributes on the Policy Map page. Policy attributes may be defined on a per-class instance basis and determine how traffic that matches the class criteria is handled.
The WAP device supports up to 50 policy maps. A policy map can contain up to 10 class maps.
Adding and Configuring a Policy Map
To add and configure a policy map:
1. Select Client QoS > Policy Map.
2. In the Policy Map Name field, enter the name for the policy map. The name can include from 1 to 31 alphanumeric characters and special characters. Spaces are not allowed.
4. In the Policy Class Definition area, configure these parameters for the policy map:
• Policy Map Name—Choose the policy map to configure.
• Class Map Name—Choose the class map to apply this policy.
• Police Simple—Establishes the traffic policing style for the class. The simple form of the policing style uses a single data rate and burst size, resulting in two outcomes: conform and nonconform.
If you enable this feature, configure one of these fields:
– Committed Rate—The committed rate, in Kbps, to which traffic must conform. The range is from 1 to 1000000 Kbps.
– Committed Burst—The committed burst size, in bytes, to which traffic must conform. The range is from 1 to 204800000 bytes.
• Send—Specifies that all packets for the associated traffic stream are to be forwarded if the class map criteria is met.
• Drop—Specifies that all packets for the associated traffic stream are to be dropped if the class map criteria is met.
• Mark Class of Service—Marks all packets for the associated traffic stream with the specified class of service value in the priority field of the 802.1p header. If the packet does not already contain this header, one is inserted. The CoS value is an integer from 0 to 7.
• Mark IP DSCP—Marks all packets for the associated traffic stream with the IP DSCP value that you select from the list.
– Select From List—A list of DSCP types.
• Mark IP Precedence—Marks all packets for the associated traffic stream with the specified IP precedence value. The IP precedence value is an integer from 0 to 7.
• Disassociate Class Map—Removes the class selected in the Class Map Name list from the policy selected in the Policy Map Name list.
• Member Classes—Lists all DiffServ classes currently defined as members of the selected policy. If no class is associated with the policy, the field is empty.
5. Click Save. The changes are saved to the Startup Configuration.
Note To delete a policy map, select it in the Policy Map Name list and click Delete.
Note A policy map can only be deleted when it is not associated to any VAP.
Note The policy marking parameters such as Mark Class of Service, Mark IP DSCP and Mark IP Precedence are not supported for IPV6 Class Map.
