Section 8 - Conguring Client Quality of Service (QoS)
Field Description
EtherType Select the EtherType eld to compare the match criteria against the value in the header of
an Ethernet frame.
Select an EtherType keyword or enter an EtherType value to specify the match criteria.
Select from List Select
Select one of the following protocol types:
•) appletalk
•) arp
•) ipv4
•) ipv6
•) ipx
•) netbios
•) pppoe
Match to Value
Enter a custom protocol identier to which packets are matched. The value is a four-digit
hexadecimal number in the range of 0600 – FFFF.
Class of Service Select this eld and enter an 802.1p user priority to compare against an Ethernet frame.
The valid range is 0 – 7. This eld is located in the rst/only 802.1Q VLAN tag.
Source MAC
Address
Select this eld and enter the source MAC address to compare against an Ethernet frame.
Source MAC Mask Select this eld and enter the source MAC address mask specifying which bits in the source
MAC to compare against an Ethernet frame.
A 0 indicates that the address bit is signicant, and an f indicates that the address bit is to be
ignored. A MAC mask of 00:00:00:00:00:00 matches a single MAC address.
Destination MAC
Address
Select this eld and enter the destination MAC address to compare against an Ethernet
frame.
Destination MAC
Mask
Enter the destination MAC address mask specifying which bits in the destination MAC to
compare against an Ethernet frame.
A 0 indicates that the address bit is signicant, and an f indicates that the address bit is to be
ignored. A MAC mask of 00:00:00:00:00:00 matches a single MAC address.
VLAN ID Select this eld and enter the VLAN IDs to compare against an Ethernet frame.
This eld is located in the rst/only 802.1Q VLAN tag.
Table 53 - ACL Conguration
After you set the desired rule criteria, click Apply. To delete an ACL, select the Delete ACL option and click Apply.
Creating a DiffServ Class Map
The Client QoS feature contains Differentiated Services (DiffServ) support that allows trafc to be classied into
streams and given certain QoS treatment in accordance with dened per-hop behaviours.
Standard IP-based networks are designed to provide best effort data delivery service. Best effort service implies that
the network delivers the data in a timely fashion, although there is no guarantee that it will. During times of congestion,
packets may be delayed, sent sporadically, or dropped. For typical Internet applications, such as e-mail and le
transfer, a slight degradation in service is acceptable and in many cases unnoticeable. However, on applications with
strict timing requirements, such as voice or multimedia, any degradation of service has undesirable effects.
By classifying the trafc and creating policies that dene how to handle these trafc classes, you can make sure that
time-sensitive trafc is given precedence over other trafc.
The UAP supports up to 50 Class Maps.
