default value set for the EnRoute500 rate reservation is applied to interfaces that have their
bandwidth reservation parameters set to ‘inherit’ or are left blank.
CLI
The parameters that are used to set these rate reservations are in the ‘qos’ interface and are
of the form ‘out.<output intf>.<input intf>.reserve’, where <output intf> is one of the following:
default, eth0, mesh0, wlan1, wlan2, wlan3, wlan4; and <input intf> is one of the following:
default, eth0, local, mesh0, wlan1, wlan2, wlan3, wlan4.
Typically, most rate reservations will involve reserving bandwidth for traffic from a particular
client access interface to the mesh0 interface. The example below shows how to reserve
differing amount of bandwidth on mesh0 for traffic originating from the wlan1, wlan2, wlan3,
and wlan4 interfaces.
> use qos
qos> set out.mesh0.wlan1.reserve=2048
qos> set out.mesh0.wlan2.limit=1024
qos> set out.mesh0.wlan3.limit=512
qos> set out.mesh0.wlan4.limit=256
A rate reservation for a certain type of traffic that enters the EnRoute500 through a particular
interface and exits it through another interface can be set with the ‘out.<output intf>.<input
intf>.<traffic type>.reserve.’ parameters in the ‘qos’ interface, where <output intf> is one of the
following: default, eth0, mesh0, wlan1, wlan2, wlan3, wlan4; <input intf> is one of the following:
default, eth0, local, mesh0, wlan1, wlan2, wlan3, wlan4; <traffic type> is one of the following:
‘vo’, ‘vi’, ‘be’, ‘bk’ (see Table 15 for description of traffic types).
The ‘out.default.default.limit’ value is applied to interfaces that have the ‘out.<output
intf>.<input intf>.reserve’ parameter set to ‘inherit’ or is left blank.
The example below shows how to reserve bandwidth for voice, video, best effort, and
background traffic from wlan1 through the mesh0 interface to 512 kbps, 1 Mbps, 256 kbps, and
128 kbps, respectively.
> use qos
qos> set out.mesh0.wlan1.vo.reserve=512
qos> set out.mesh0.wlan1.vi.reserve=1024
qos> set out.mesh0.wlan1.be.reserve=256
qos> set out.mesh0.wlan1.bk.reserve=128
Web GUI
The rate reservation parameters can be set via the web interface under the “QoS” and
“Advanced QoS” tabs on the “QoS” page (see Figure 53 and Figure 54).
