Configuring QoS
Configuration Guidelines
Before configuring QoS on your WMIC, you should be aware of this information:
• The most important guideline in QoS deployment is to be familiar with the traffic on your wireless
LAN. If you know the applications used by wireless client devices, the applications’ sensitivity to
delay, and the amount of traffic associated with the applications, you can configure QoS to improve
performance.
• QoS does not create additional bandwidth for your wireless LAN; it helps control the allocation of
bandwidth. If you have plenty of bandwidth on your wireless LAN, you might not need to configure
QoS.
Configuring QoS Using the Web-Browser Interface
This section describes configuring QoS using the web-browser interface.
Follow these steps to configure QoS:
Step 1 If you use VLANs on your wireless LAN, make sure the necessary VLAN is configured on your WMIC
before configuring QoS.
Step 2 Click Services in the task menu on the left side of any page in the web-browser interface. When the list
of Services expands, click QoS. The QoS Policies page appears. Figure 11-1 shows the QoS Policies
page.
