Figure 4-54. Using WMM to Prioritize Traffic Transmitted From Wireless Stations
to RPs
Note that the station WMM parameters can differ from the RP WMM
parameters.
Enabling WMM on a WLAN
Enabling WMM on a WLAN, enables the following:
RP radios use QoS marks (802.1p, by default) to queue traffic destined to
stations in this WLAN
Radios grant better QoS to high priority queues by using different
parameters to transmit traffic in those queues.
WMM-enabled stations in the WLAN use QoS marks to queue traffic
destined to their RPs
Adopted RP radios broadcast WMM parameters for the four ACs. Wireless
stations that are WMM-enabled queue and transmit traffic accordingly.
Non-WMM-enabled stations continue to use standard settings for all
traffic, which match those for the Best Effort AC (queue 1).
To enable WMM prioritization, complete these steps:
1. Access the Edit screen for the WLAN that includes voice devices:
a. Select Network Setup > WLAN Setup and click the Configuration tab.
b. Select the WLAN and click the Edit button. The Edit screen is displayed.
