Enabling Bandwidth Contract Support for RAPs
This release of ArubaOS provides Bandwidth Contract support on remote APs. This is achieved by extending
the Bandwidth Contract support on split-tunnel and bridge modes.
You can apply Bandwidth Contract for a RAP on a per-user or per-role basis. Bandwidth Contract is applied on a
per-role basis by default. This implies that all the users belonging to the same role will share the bandwidth
pool. When Bandwidth Contract configured on the controller is attached to a user-role, it automatically gets
pushed to the RAPs terminating on it.
The following show commands have been enhanced in this release to retrieve the Bandwidth Contract
information from the RAP:
show datapath user ap-name <ap-name>
show datapath bwm ap-name <ap-name>
Configuring Bandwidth Contracts for RAP
You can configure bandwidth contracts for RAP on a per-role or per-user basis. The following examples
illustrate how to configure, apply, and verify the Bandwidth Contracts on the RAPs.
Defining Bandwidth Contracts
Use the following command to define a 256 Kbps contract:
(host) (config) #aaa bandwidth-contract 256k kbits 256
Use the following command to define a 512 Kbps contract
(host) (config) #aaa bandwidth-contract 512k kbits 512
Applying Contracts
You can apply the contract on a per-role or per-user basis.
Applying Contracts Per-Role
Use the following commands to apply the contracts on a per-role basis for upstream and downstream:
For upstream contract of 512 Kbps:
(host) (config) #user-role authenticated bw-contract 512k upstream
For downstream contract of 256 Kbps:
(host) (config) #user-role authenticated bw-contract 256k downstream
Applying Contracts Per-User
Use the following commands to apply the contracts on a per-user basis for upstream and downstream:
For upstream contract of 512 Kbps:
(host) (config) #user-role authenticated bw-contract 512k per-user upstream
For downstream contract of 256 Kbps:
(host) (config) #user-role authenticated bw-contract 256k per-user downstream
Verifying Contracts on AP
The following example displays the bandwidth contracts on AP for per-role configuration:
(host) #show datapath bwm ap-name rap5-2
