Table D-1 Wireless Network Configuration Tasks 

Activity	Explanation	Reference
1. Check that the Cisco IOS version is the recommended version	•Under System Software, verify that Cisco IOS version 12.3(8)JA or later is running on the AP. •For the controller, use Version 4.0 and Cisco IOS version 12.3(8)JX or later.	Components of the VoIP Wireless Network, page 2-9
2. Configure a VLAN for voice	Isolate voice traffic and enable QoS by configuring a separate voice VLAN on the access point and network switch.	Voice QoS in a Wireless Network, page 2-12 Cisco IOS Software Configuration Guide for Cisco Aironet Access Points, Cisco IOS Release 12.3(8)JA
3. Configure Service Set Identifier (SSID) for each VLAN	Configure an SSID for a set of wireless devices to communicate with each other. Several access points can have the same SSID to support a group of wireless phones.	Associating to APs, page 2-12 Cisco IOS Software Configuration Guide for Cisco Aironet Access Points, Cisco IOS Release 12.3(8)JA
4. Configure QoS settings for VLANs	a. Create a QoS policy for the voice VLAN and assign a higher CoS to voice traffic. b. Enable the QoS element for wireless IP phones to provide channel utilization (QBSS) information to phones.	Voice QoS in a Wireless Network, page 2-12 Configuring QoS Policies Cisco IOS Software Configuration Guide for Cisco Aironet Access Points, Cisco IOS Release 12.3(8)JA

6. Configure radio (802.11) settings	•Data Rate—Set for11 Mbps or to the rate for the frequency band that you are using. •Client Transmit Power—After a site survey, determine the appropriate power requirements and set a specific Client Transmit Power setting. The Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7925G uses the same setting as the access point. Note If set for Max, the access point does not advertise Client Transmit Power setting.	Cisco IOS Software Configuration Guide for Cisco Aironet Access Points, Cisco IOS Release 12.3(8)JA Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone7925G Deployment Guide
7. Configure Security for the voice VLANs	Use one of these authentication and encryption options for the SSID that corresponds to the voice VLAN: •Open •Shared Key •EAP •Auto (AKM)	Interacting with Cisco Unified Communications Manager, page 2-14 Cisco IOS Software Configuration Guide for Cisco Aironet Access Points, Cisco IOS Release 12.3(8)JA

Configuration Tip for Cisco Aironet Access Points

If you are using EAP-FAST, you must increase the EAP request (802.1x) timeout to at least 20 seconds to ensure that the phone gets the PAC credentials successfully.

To change the request timeout on the controller, follow these steps:

Procedure

---

Step 1 Use SSH or Telnet to access the Cisco Unified wireless LAN controller.

Step 2 Enter config advanced eap request-timeout 20

Step 3 Enter save config

Step 4 Enter y to confirm.

Configuring QoS Policies

To ensure that voice traffic receives the highest priority in the WLAN and to place signaling traffic in a higher priority than data traffic, you need to make these changes to QoS policies and device settings.

Access Point Configuration Settings

For detailed information about configuring the Cisco Aironet Access Points, refer to this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/wireless/airo1200/accsspts/b1238ja/1238jasc/index.htm

On the IOS access points, add the following Classifications to your IOS Access Point QoS policy:

•DSCP Expedited Forwarding—COS Voice <10ms Latency (6)

Apply this policy to your voice VLAN for both incoming and outgoing traffic.

•DSCP Best Effort—COS Best Effort (0)

Apply this policy to your data or native VLAN for both incoming and outgoing traffic.

Under the Advanced tab, set the following:

•QoS Element for Wireless Phones—Enable.

•Dot11e—Enable.

•IGMP Snooping—Enable.

•AVVID Priority Mapping—Yes.

•WiFi Multimedia (WMM) on radio interfaces—Enabled

Controller Settings

For detailed information about configuring QoS policies for the controller, refer to these URLs:

•http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/wireless/control/index.htm

•http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/wireless/control/c44/ccfig40/index.htm

When using a controller, add the following QoS policies:

•Platinum (voice)—Apply this policy to your voice WLAN SSID/VLAN for both incoming and outgoing traffic.

•Silver (best effort)—Apply this policy to your data WLAN SSID/VLAN for both incoming and outgoing traffic.

•WLAN configuration screen for the voice WLAN SSID/VLAN—For the7925G Phone Support field, check the AP CAC Limit checkbox to enable QoS Element for Wireless Phones (QBSS).

•General Controller configuration screen—Set Aggressive Load Balancing to Disabled.

Switch Configuration

To implement QoS in the connected Ethernet switch individual configurations will vary; however, you can use this example of QoS commands as a guide.
