Unied Access Point Administrator’s GuideUnied Access Point Administrator’s GuidePage 71May 2016Section 5 - Conguring Access Point ServicesField DescriptionMax. Burst Length The Max. Burst Length is an AP EDCA parameter and only applies to trafc owing from the AP to the client station.This value species (in milliseconds) the maximum burst length allowed for packet bursts on the wireless network. A packet burst is a collection of multiple frames transmitted without header information. The decreased overhead results in higher throughput and better performance.Valid values for maximum burst length are 0.0 through 999.Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) SettingsWi-Fi MultiMedia (WMM)Wi-Fi MultiMedia (WMM) is enabled by default. With WMM enabled, QoS prioritization and coordination of wireless medium access is on. With WMM enabled, QoS settings on the UAP control downstream trafc owing from the AP to client station (AP EDCA parameters) and the upstream trafc owing from the station to the AP (station EDCA parameters).Disabling WMM deactivates QoS control of station EDCA parameters on upstream trafc owing from the station to the AP.With WMM disabled, you can still set some parameters on the downstream trafc owing from the AP to the client station (AP EDCA parameters).To disable WMM extensions, click Disabled.To enable WMM extensions, click Enabled.Station EDCA ParametersQueue Queues are dened for different types of data transmitted from station-to-AP:•) Data 0 (Voice) — Highest priority queue, minimum delay. Time-sensitive data such as VoIP and streaming media are automatically sent to this queue.•) Data 1(Video) — Highest priority queue, minimum delay. Time-sensitive video data is automatically sent to this queue.•) Data 2 (Best Effort) — Medium priority queue, medium throughput and delay. Most traditional IP data is sent to this queue.•) Data 3 (Background) — Lowest priority queue, high throughput. Bulk data that requires maximum throughput and is not time-sensitive is sent to this queue (FTP data, for example).AIFS (Inter-Frame Space)The Arbitration Inter-Frame Spacing (AIFS) species a wait time for data frames. The wait time is measured in slots. Valid values for AIFS are 1 through 255.cwMin (Minimum Contention Window)This parameter is used by the algorithm that determines the initial random back off wait time (window) for retry of a data transmission during a period of contention for Unied Access Point resources. The value specied here in the Minimum Contention Window is the upper limit (in milliseconds) of a range from which the initial random back off wait time will be determined. The rst random number generated will be a number between 0 and the number specied here. If the rst random back off wait time expires before the data frame is sent, a retry counter is incremented and the random back off value (window) is doubled. Doubling will continue until the size of the random back off value reaches the number dened in the Maximum Contention Window.cwMax (Maximum Contention Window)The value specied here in the Maximum Contention Window is the upper limit (in milliseconds) for the doubling of the random back off value. This doubling continues until either the data frame is sent or the Maximum Contention Window size is reached.Once the Maximum Contention Window size is reached, retries will continue until a maximum number of retries allowed is reached.TXOP Limit The TXOP Limit is a station EDCA parameter and only applies to trafc owing from the client station to the AP. The Transmission Opportunity (TXOP) is an interval of time, in milliseconds, when a WME client station has the right to initiate transmissions onto the wireless medium (WM) towards the Unied Access Point. The TXOP Limit maximum value is 65535.Other QoS SettingsNo AcknowledgementSelect On to specify that the AP should not acknowledge frames with QosNoAck as the service class value.APSD Select On to enable Automatic Power Save Delivery (APSD), which is a power management method. APSD is recommended if VoIP phones access the network through the AP.
Unied Access Point Administrator’s GuideUnied Access Point Administrator’s GuidePage 72May 2016Section 5 - Conguring Access Point ServicesNote: After you congure the QoS settings, you must click Apply to apply the changes and to save the settings. Changing some settings might cause the AP to stop and restart system processes. If this happens, wireless clients will temporarily lose connectivity. We recommend that you change AP settings when WLAN trafc is low. Table 40 - QoS SettingsConguring Email AlertThe Email Alert feature allows the AP to automatically send email messages when an event at or above the congured severity level occurs. Use the Email Alert Conguration page to congure mail server settings, to set the severity level that triggers alerts, and to add up to three email addresses where urgent and non-urgent email alerts are sent.Note: Email alert is operationally disabled when the AP transitions to managed mode.Figure 38 - Email Alerts CongurationField DescriptionEmail Alert Global CongurationAdmin Mode Globally enable or disable the Email Alert feature on the AP. By default, email alerts are disabled.From Address Specify the email address that appears in the From eld of alert messages sent from the AP, for example dlinkAP23@foo.com. The address can be a maximum of 255 characters and can contain only printable characters. By default, no address is congured.Log Duration This duration, in minutes, determines how frequently the non-critical messages are sent to the SMTP Server. The range is 30-1440 minutes. The default is 30 minutes.Urgent Message SeverityCongures the severity level for log messages that are considered to be urgent. Messages in this category are sent immediately. The security level you select and all higher levels are urgent:•) Emergency indicates system is unusable. It is the highest level of severity.•) Alert indicates action must be taken immediately.•) Critical indicates critical conditions.•) Error indicates error conditions.•) Warning indicates warning conditions.•) Notice indicates normal but signicant conditions.•) Info indicates informational messages.•) Debug indicates debug-level messages.
Unied Access Point Administrator’s GuideUnied Access Point Administrator’s GuidePage 73May 2016Section 5 - Conguring Access Point ServicesField DescriptionNon Urgent Severity Congures the severity level for log messages that are considered to be non-urgent. Messages in this category are collected and sent in a digest form at the time interval specied by the Log Duration eld. The security level you select and all levels up to, but not including the lowest Urgent level are considered non-urgent. Messages below the security level you specify are not sent via email. See the Urgent Message eld description for information about the security levels.Email Alert Mail Server CongurationMail Server Address Specify the IP address or hostname of the SMTP server on the network.Mail Server Security Specify whether to use SMTP over SSL (TLSv1) or no security (Open) for authentication with the mail server.

NTP servers transmit Coordinated Universal Time (UTC, also known as Greenwich Mean Time) to their client systems. NTP sends periodic time requests to servers, using the returned time stamp to adjust its clock. The timestamp is used to indicate the date and time of each event in log messages.See http://www.ntp.org for more information about NTP.
Unied Access Point Administrator’s GuideUnied Access Point Administrator’s GuidePage 74May 2016Section 5 - Conguring Access Point ServicesTo set the system time either manually or by specifying the address of the NTP server for the AP to use, click the Services > Time Settings (NTP) tab and update the elds as described in the table below.Figure 39 - Time Settings (NTP)Field DescriptionSet System Time NTP provides a way for the AP to obtain and maintain its time from a server on the network. Using an NTP server gives your AP the ability to provide the correct time of day in log messages and session information. Choose to use a network time protocol (NTP) server to determine the system time, or set the system time manually:•) To permit the AP to poll an NTP server, click Using Network Time Protocol (NTP).•) To prevent the AP from polling an NTP server, click Manually.NTP Server (Use NTP)If NTP is enabled, specify the NTP server to use.You can specify the NTP server by hostname or IP address, although using the IP address is not recommended as these can change more readily.If you specify a hostname, note the following requirements:•) The length must be between 1 – 63 characters.•) Upper and lower case characters, numbers, and hyphens are accepted. •) The rst character must be a letter (a–z or A–Z), and the last character cannot be a hyphen.System Date (Manual conguration)Specify the current month, day, and year.System Time (Manual conguration)Specify the current time in hours and minutes.

Unied Access Point Administrator’s GuideUnied Access Point Administrator’s GuidePage 75May 2016Section 6 - Conguring SNMPv3Section 6 - Conguring SNMPv3This section describes how to congure the SNMPv3 settings on the UAP and contains the following subsections:•) “Conguring SNMPv3 Views” on page 75•) “Conguring SNMPv3 Groups” on page 76•) “Conguring SNMPv3 Users” on page 77•) “Conguring SNMPv3 Targets” on page 78Conguring SNMPv3 ViewsA MIB view is a combination of a set of view subtrees or a family of view subtrees where each view subtree is a subtree within the managed object naming tree. You can create MIB views to control the OID range that SNMPv3 users can access.A MIB view called “all” is created by default in the system. This view contains all management objects supported by the system.Note: If you create an excluded view subtree, create a corresponding included entry with the same view name to allow subtrees outside of the excluded subtree to be included. For example, to create a view that excludes the subtree 1.3.6.1.4, create an excluded entry with the OID 1.3.6.1.4. Then, create an included entry with OID .1 with the same view name. Figure 40 - SNMPv3 Views CongurationThe following table describes the elds you can congure on the SNMPv3 Views page.Field DescriptionView Name Enter a name to identify the MIB view. View names can contain up to 32 alphanumeric characters.Type Species whether to include or exclude the view subtree or family of subtrees from the MIB view.OID Enter an OID string for the subtree to include or exclude from the view. For example, the system subtree is specied by the OID string .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.Mask The OID mask is 47 characters in length. The format of the OID mask is xx.xx.xx (.)... or xx:xx:xx.... (:) and is 16 octets in length. Each octet is 2 hexadecimal characters separated by either . (period) or : (colon). Only hex characters are accepted in this eld. For example, OID mask FA.80 is 11111010.10000000.A family mask is used to dene a family of view subtrees. The family mask indicates which sub-identiers of the associated family OID string are signicant to the family’s denition. A family of view subtrees allows control access to one row in a table, in a more efcient manner.SNMPv3 Views This eld shows the MIB views on the UAP. To remove a view, select it and click Remove.Table 43 - SNMPv3 Views

Users in this group use an MD5 key/password for authentication and a DES key/password for encryption. Both the MD5 and DES key/passwords must be dened. By default, users of this group will have read only access to the default all MIB view, which can be modied by the user. •) RW — A read/write group using authentication and data encryption. Users in this group use an MD5 key/password for authentication and a DES key/password for encryption. Both the MD5 and DES key/passwords must be dened. By default, users of this group will have read and write access to the default all MIB view, which can be modied by the user.RW and RO groups are dened by default.Note: The UAP supports maximum of eight groups.To dene additional groups, navigate to the SNMPv3 Groups page and congure the settings that the table below describes.Figure 41 - SNMPv3 Groups CongurationField DescriptionName Specify a name to use to identify the group. The default group names are RW and RO. Group names can contain up to 32 alphanumeric characters.Security Level Select one of the following security levels for the group:•) noAuthentication-noPrivacy — No authentication and no data encryption (no security).•) Authentication-noPrivacy — Authentication, but no data encryption. With this security level, users send SNMP messages that use an MD5 key/password for authentication, but not a DES key/password for encryption.•) Authentication-Privacy — Authentication and data encryption. With this security level, users send an MD5 key/password for authentication and a DES key/password for encryption. For groups that require authentication, encryption, or both, you must dene the MD5 and DES key/passwords on the SNMPv3 Users page.Write Views Select the write access to management objects (MIBs) for the group:•) write-all — The group can create, alter, and delete MIBs.•) write-none — The group is not allowed to create, alter, or delete MIBS.

The AP can transfer the le to a TFTP server. The le is formatted in pcap format and can be examined using tools such as Wireshark and OmniPeek.For remote capture mode, the captured packets are redirected in real time to an external PC running the Wireshark® tool.The AP can capture the following types of packets:•) 802.11 packets received and transmitted on radio interfaces. Packets captured on radio interfaces include the 802.11 header.•) 802.3 packets received and transmitted on the Ethernet interface.•) 802.3 packets received and transmitted on the internal logical interfaces such as VAPs and WDS interfaces.From the Packet Capture Conguration and Settings page, you can:•) View the current packet capture status.•) Congure packet capture parameters.•) Congure packet le capture.•) Congure a remote capture port.•) Download a packet capture le.Figure 52 - Packet Capture Conguration & SettingsPacket Capture StatusPacket Capture Status allows you to view the status of packet capture on the AP.

In promiscuous mode the radio receives all trafc on the channel, including trafc that is not destined to this AP. While the radio is operating in promiscuous mode, it continues serving associated clients. Packets not destined to the AP are not forwarded. As soon as the capture is completed, the radio reverts to non-promiscuous mode operation.Client Filter Enable Enable to use the WLAN client lter to capture only frames that are transmitted to, or received from a WLAN client with a specied MAC address.Client Filter MAC AddressSpecify a MAC address for WLAN client ltering.Note: The MAC lter is active only when capture is performed on an 802.11 interface.Table 48 - Packet Capture CongurationNote: Changes to packet capture conguration parameters take affect after packet capture is restarted. Modifying the parameters while the packet capture is running doesn’t affect the current packet capture session. In order to begin using new parameter values, an existing packet capture session must be stopped and re-started.Packet File CaptureIn Packet File Capture mode the AP stores captured packets in the RAM le system.
Unied Access Point Administrator’s GuideUnied Access Point Administrator’s GuidePage 85May 2016Section 7 - Maintaining the Access PointUpon activation, the packet capture proceeds until one of the following occurs:•) The capture time reaches congured duration.•) The capture le reaches its maximum size.•) The administrator stops the capture.During the capture, you can monitor the capture status, elapsed capture time, and the current capture le size. This information can be updated, while the capture is in progress, by clicking Refresh.Figure 55 - Packet File CaptureThe following table describes the elds to congure the packet capture status.Field DescriptionCapture Interface Select an AP Capture Interface name from the drop-down menu. AP capture interface names are eligible for packet capture are:•) brtrunk - Linux bridge interface in the AP•) eth0 - 802.3 trafc on the Ethernet port.•) wlan0 - VAP0 trafc on radio 1.•) wlan1 - VAP0 trafc on radio 2.•) radio1 - 802.11 trafc on radio 1.•) radio2 - 802.11 trafc on radio 2.Capture Duration Specify the time duration in seconds for the capture (range 10 to 3600).Max Capture File SizeSpecify the maximum allowed size for the capture le in KB (range 64 to 4096).Table 49 - Packet File CaptureRemote Packet CaptureRemote Packet Capture allows you to specify a remote port as the destination for packet captures. This feature works in conjunction with the Wireshark network analyzer tool for Windows. A packet capture server runs on the AP and sends the captured packets via a TCP connection to the Wireshark tool.A Windows PC running the Wireshark tool allows you to display, log, and analyze captured trafc. When the remote capture mode is in use, the AP doesn’t store any captured data locally in its le system.Your can trace up to ve interfaces on the AP at the same time. However, you must start a separate Wireshark session for each interface. You can congure the IP port number used for connecting Wireshark to the AP. The default port number is 2002. The system uses 5 consecutive port numbers starting with the congured port for the packet capture sessions.If a rewall is installed between the Wireshark PC and the AP, these ports must be allowed to pass through the rewall. The rewall must also be congured to allow the Wireshark PC to initiate TCP connection to the AP. To congure Wireshark to use the AP as the source for captured packets, you must specify the remote interface in the “Capture Options” menu. For example to capture packets on an AP with IP address 192.168.1.10 on radio 1 using the default IP port, specify the following interface: rpcap://192.168.1.10/radio1
Unied Access Point Administrator’s GuideUnied Access Point Administrator’s GuidePage 86May 2016Section 7 - Maintaining the Access PointTo capture packets on the Ethernet interface of the AP and VAP0 on radio 1 using IP port 58000, start two Wireshark sessions and specify the following interfaces:rpcap://192.168.1.10:58000/eth0rpcap://192.168.1.10:58000/wlan0When you are capturing trafc on the radio interface, you can disable beacon capture, but other 802.11 control frames are still sent to Wireshark. You can set up a display lter to show only:•) Data frames in the trace.•) Trafc on specic BSSIDs.•) Trafc between two clients.Some examples of useful display lters are:•) Exclude beacons and ACK/RTS/CTS frames:!(wlan.fc.type_subtype == 8 || wlan.fc.type == 1)•) Data frames only: wlan.fc.type == 2•) Trafc on a specic BSSID:wlan.bssid == 00:02:bc:00:17:d0•) All trafc to and from a specic client:wlan.addr == 00:00:e8:4e:5f:8eIn remote capture mode, trafc is sent to the PC running Wireshark via one of the network interfaces. Depending on where the Wireshark tool is located the trafc can be sent on an Ethernet interface or one of the radios. In order to avoid a trafc ood caused by tracing the trace packets, the AP automatically installs a capture lter to lter out all packets destined to the Wireshark application. For example if the Wireshark IP port is congured to be 58000 then the following capture lter is automatically installed on the AP: not portrange 58000-58004.Enabling the packet capture feature impacts performance of the AP and can create a security issue (unauthorized clients may be able to connect to the AP and trace user data). The AP performance is negatively impacted even if there is no active Wireshark session with the AP. The performance is negatively impacted to a greater extent when packet capture is in progress. Due to performance and security issues, the packet capture mode is not saved in NVRAM on the AP; if the AP resets, the capture mode is disabled and the you must re-enable it in order to resume capturing trafc. Packet capture parameters (other than mode) are saved in NVRAM.In order to minimize performance impact on the AP while trafc capture is in progress, you should install capture lters to limit which trafc is sent to the Wireshark tool. When capturing 802.11 trafc, large portion of the captured frames tend to be beacons (typically sent every 100ms by all Access Points). Although Wireshark supports a display lter for beacon frames, it does not support a capture lter to prevent the AP from forwarding captured beacon packets to the Wireshark tool. In order to reduce performance impact of capturing the 802.11 beacons, you can disable the capture beacons mode. The remote packet capture facility is a standard feature of the Wireshark tool for Windows. Note: Remote packet capture is not standard on the Linux version of Wireshark; the Linux version doesn’t work with the AP. Wireshark is an open source tool and is available for free; it can be downloaded from http://www.wireshark.org.Figure 56 - Remote Packet CaptureThe following table describes the elds to congure the packet capture status.

Unied Access Point Administrator’s GuideUnied Access Point Administrator’s GuidePage 88May 2016Section 8 - Conguring Client Quality of Service (QoS)Section 8 - Conguring Client Quality of Service (QoS)This section describes how to congure QoS settings that affect trafc from the wireless clients to the AP. By using the UAP Client QoS features, you can limit bandwidth and apply ACLs and DiffServ policies to the wireless interface. If a VAP uses WPA Enterprise security to authenticate clients, you can congure the RADIUS server to provide per-client QoS information.This section describes the following features:•) “Conguring VAP QoS Parameters” on page 88•) “Managing Client QoS ACLs” on page 89•) “Creating a DiffServ Class Map” on page 95•) “Creating a DiffServ Policy Map” on page 100•) “Conguring RADIUS-Assigned Client QoS Parameters” on page 102Conguring VAP QoS ParametersThe client QoS features on the UAP provide additional control over certain QoS aspects of wireless clients that connect to the network, such as the amount of bandwidth an individual client is allowed to send and receive. To control general categories of trafc, such as HTTP trafc or trafc from a specic subnet, you can congure ACLs and assign them to one or more VAPs. In addition to controlling general trafc categories, Client QoS allows you to congure per-client conditioning of various micro-ows through Differentiated Services (DiffServ). DiffServ policies are a useful tool for establishing general micro-ow denition and treatment characteristics that can be applied to each wireless client, both inbound and outbound, when it is authenticated on the network. From the VAP QoS Parameters page, you can enable the Client QoS feature, specify client bandwidth limits, and select the ACLs and DiffServ policies to use as default values for clients associated with the VAP when the client does not have their own attributes dened by a RADIUS server.To congure the Client QoS administrative mode and to congure the QoS settings for a VAP, click the VAP QoS Parameters tab.Figure 58 - Congure Client QoS VAP SettingsField DescriptionClient QoS Global Admin ModeEnable or disable Client QoS operation on the AP. Changing this setting will not affect the WMM settings you congure on the QoS page.Radio For dual-radio APs, select Radio 1 or Radio 2 to specify which radio to congure.VAP Specify the VAP that will have the Client QoS settings that you congure. The QoS settings you congure for the selected VAP will not affect clients that access the network through other VAPs.

QoS must be enabled globally (from the Client QoS Global Admin Mode eld) and on the VAP (QoS Mode eld) for the Client QoS settings to be applied to wireless clients.Bandwidth Limit DownEnter the maximum allowed transmission rate from the AP to the wireless client in bits per second. The valid range is 0 – 429496000 bits/sec.The value you enter must be a multiple of 8000 bits/sec, in other words, the value must be n × 8000 bits/sec, where n = 0, 1, 2, 3... If you attempt to set the limit to a value that is not a multiple of 8000 bits/sec, the conguration will be rejected. A value of 0 means that the bandwidth maximum limit is not enforced in this direction.Bandwidth Limit Up Enter the maximum allowed client transmission rate to the AP in bits per second. The valid range is 0 – 4294967295 bps.The value you enter must be n × 8000 bits/sec, where n = 0, 1, 2, 3... If you attempt to set the limit to a value that is not a multiple of 8000 bits/sec, the conguration will be rejected. A value of 0 means that the bandwidth maximum limit is not enforced in this direction.ACL Type Down Select the type of ACL to apply to trafc in the outbound (down) direction, which can be one of the following: •) IPv4: The ACL examines IPv4 packets for matches to ACL rules•) IPv6: The ACL examines IPv6 packets for matches to ACL rules•) MAC: The ACL examines layer 2 frames for matches to ACL rulesACL Name Down Select the name of the ACL applied to trafc in the outbound (down) direction. After switching the packet or frame to the outbound interface, the ACL’s rules are checked for a match. The packet or frame is transmitted if it is permitted, and discarded if it is denied.ACL Type Up Select the type of ACL to apply to trafc in the inbound (up) direction, which can be one of the following: •) IPv4: The ACL examines IPv4 packets for matches to ACL rules•) IPv6: The ACL examines IPv6 packets for matches to ACL rules•) MAC: The ACL examines layer 2 frames for matches to ACL rulesACL Name Up Select the name of the ACL applied to trafc entering the AP in the inbound (up) direction. When a packet or frame is received by the AP, the ACL’s rules are checked for a match. The packet or frame is processed if it is permitted, and discarded if it is denied.DiffServ Policy DownSelect the name of the DiffServ policy applied to trafc from the AP in the outbound (down) direction.DiffServ Policy Up Select the name of the DiffServ policy applied to trafc sent to the AP in the inbound (up) direction.Table 52 - VAP QoS ParametersManaging Client QoS ACLsACLs are a collection of permit and deny conditions, called rules, that provide security by blocking unauthorized users and allowing authorized users to access specic resources. ACLs can block any unwarranted attempts to reach network resources. The UAP supports up to 50 IPv4, IPv6, and MAC ACLs.IPv4 and IPv6 ACLsIP ACLs classify trafc for Layers 3 and 4.Each ACL is a set of up to 10 rules applied to trafc sent from a wireless client or to be received by a wireless client. Each rule species whether the contents of a given eld should be used to permit or deny access to the network. Rules can be based on various criteria and may apply to one ore more elds within a packet, such as the source or destination IP address, the source or destination L4 port, or the protocol carried in the packet.
Unied Access Point Administrator’s GuideUnied Access Point Administrator’s GuidePage 90May 2016Section 8 - Conguring Client Quality of Service (QoS)MAC ACLsMAC ACLs are Layer 2 ACLs. You can congure the rules to inspect elds of a frame such as the source or destination MAC address, the VLAN ID, or the Class of Service 802.1p priority. When a frame enters or exits the AP port (depending on whether the ACL is applied in the up or down direction), the AP inspects the frame and checks the ACL rules against the content of the frame. If any of the rules match the content, a permit or deny action is taken on the frame. ACL Conguration ProcessCongure ACLs and rules on the Client QoS ACL page (steps 1–5), and then apply the rules to a specied VAP on the AP QoS Parameters page (step 6). Use the following general steps to congure ACLs:1.) Specify a name for the ACL.2.) Select the type of ACL to add.3.) Add the ACL.4.) Add new rules to the ACL.5.) Congure the match criteria for the rules.6.) Apply the ACL to one or more VAPs.For an example of how to congure an ACL, see “ACL Conguration Process” on page 90.To congure an ACL, click the Client QoS ACL tab.The elds to congure ACL rules appear only after you have created an ACL. The following image shows the conguration of a new rule for the IPv4 ACL named acl1.

To add an existing rule to an ACL or to modify a rule, select the rule number. When an ACL has multiple rules, the rules are applied to the packet or frame in the order in which you add them to the ACL. There is an implicit deny all rule as the nal rule.Action Species whether the ACL rule permits or denies an action. •) When you select Permit, the rule allows all trafc that meets the rule criteria to enter or exit the AP (depending on the ACL direction you select). Trafc that does not meet the criteria is dropped.•) When you select Deny, the rule blocks all trafc that meets the rule criteria from entering or exiting the AP (depending on the ACL direction you select). Trafc that does not meet the criteria is forwarded unless this rule is the nal rule. Because there is an implicit deny all rule at the end of every ACL, trafc that is not explicitly permitted is dropped.Match Every Indicates that the rule, which either has a permit or deny action, will match the frame or packet regardless of its contents.

Creating a DiffServ Class MapThe Client QoS feature contains Differentiated Services (DiffServ) support that allows trafc to be classied into streams and given certain QoS treatment in accordance with dened 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 trafc and creating policies that dene how to handle these trafc classes, you can make sure that time-sensitive trafc is given precedence over other trafc.The UAP supports up to 50 Class Maps.
Unied Access Point Administrator’s GuideUnied Access Point Administrator’s GuidePage 96May 2016Section 8 - Conguring Client Quality of Service (QoS)Dening DiffServTo use DiffServ for Client QoS, use the Class Map and Policy Map pages to dene the following categories and their criteria:•) Class: create classes and dene class criteria •) Policy: create policies, associate classes with policies, and dene policy statements Once you dene the class and associate it with a policy, apply the policy to a specied VAP on the VAP QoS Parameters page.Packets are classied and processed based on dened criteria. The classication criteria is dened by a class. The processing is dened by a policy’s attributes. Policy attributes may be dened on a per-class instance basis, and it is these attributes that are applied when a match occurs. A policy can contain multiple classes. When the policy is active, the actions taken depend on which class matches the packet.Packet processing begins by testing the class match criteria for a packet. A policy is applied to a packet when a class match within that policy is found.

The classication criteria is dened by a class on the Class Map page. The processing is dened by a policy’s attributes on the Policy Map page. Policy attributes may be dened on a per-class instance basis, and it is these attributes that are applied when a match occurs. A Policy Map can contain up to 10 Class Maps. When the policy is active, the actions taken depend on which class matches the packet.Packet processing begins by testing the class match criteria for a packet. A policy is applied to a packet when a class match within that policy is found.To create a DiffServ policy, click the Policy Map tab.Figure 61 - Congure Client QoS DiffServ Policy Map SettingsField DescriptionPolicy Map Name Enter then name of the policy map to add.

When a client successfully authenticates, the RADIUS server can include bandwidth limits and identify the ACLs and DiffServ policies to apply to the specic wireless client. ACLs and DiffServ policies referenced in the RADIUS client database must match the names of the ACLs and DiffServ policies congured on the AP to be successfully applied to the wireless clients.The following table describes the QoS attributes that can be included in the client’s RADIUS server entry. If a wireless client successfully authenticates using WPA Enterprise, each QoS RADIUS attribute that exists for the client is sent to the AP for processing. The attributes are optional and do not need to be present in the client entry. If the attribute is not present, the Client QoS setting on the AP is used.RADIUS AttributeID Description Type/RangeVendor-Specic (26), WISPr-Bandwidth-Max-Down14122,8 Maximum allowed client reception rate from the AP in bits per second.

Unied Access Point Administrator’s GuideUnied Access Point Administrator’s GuidePage 104May 2016Section 9 - Clustering Multiple APsSection 9 - Clustering Multiple APsThe UAP supports AP clusters. A cluster provides a single point of administration and lets you view, deploy, congure, and secure the wireless network as a single entity rather than a series of separate wireless devices. Managing Cluster Access Points in the ClusterThe AP cluster is a dynamic, conguration-aware group of APs in the same subnet of a network. Each cluster can have up to 8 members. Only one cluster per wireless network is supported; however, a network subnet can have multiple clusters. Clusters can share various conguration information, such as VAP settings and QoS queue parameters.A cluster can be formed between two APs if the following conditions are met:•) The APs are identical models.•) The APs are connected on the same bridged segment.•) The APs joining the cluster have the same Cluster Name.•) Clustering mode is enabled on both APs.Note: For two APs to be in the same cluster, they do not need to have the same number of radios; however, the supported capabilities of the radios should be same.Note: DWL-6700AP doesn’t support clustering. Clustering APsOnly identical models may be clustered together. For example, the DWL-2600AP can only form a cluster with other DWL-2600APs.Viewing and Conguring Cluster MembersThe Access Points page allows you to start or stop clustering on an AP, view the cluster members, and congure the location and cluster name for a cluster member. From the Access Points page, you can also click the IP address of each cluster member to navigate to conguration settings and data on an access point in the cluster. To view information about cluster members and to congure the location and cluster of an individual member, click the Access Points tab.The following gure shows the Cluster > Access Points page when clustering is not enabled.Figure 63 - Manage Access Points In The Cluster (Passive)The following gure shows the Cluster > Access Points page when clustering is enabled and two access points are in the cluster.

Its Status (Mode) on the Cluster > Access Points page now indicates Cluster instead of Not Clustered.Navigating to Conguration Information for a Specic APIn general, the UAP is designed for central management of clustered access points. For access points in a cluster, all access points in the cluster reect the same conguration. In this case, it does not matter which access point you actually connect to for administration.There may be situations, however, when you want to view or manage information on a particular access point. For example, you might want to check status information such as client associations or events for an access point. In this case, you can navigate to the Administration Web interface for individual access points by clicking the IP address links on the Access Points page.All clustered access points are shown on the Cluster > Access Points page. To navigate to clustered access points, you can simply click on the IP address for a specic cluster member shown in the list.Navigating to an AP by Using its IP Address in a URLYou can also link to the Administration Web pages of a specic access point, by entering the IP address for that access point as a URL directly into a Web browser address bar in the following form:http://IPAddressOfAccessPointwhere IPAddressOfAccessPoint is the address of the particular access point you want to monitor or congure.Managing Cluster SessionsThe Sessions page shows information about client stations associated with access points in the cluster. Each client is identied by its MAC address, along with the AP (location) to which it is currently connected.To view a particular statistic for client sessions, select an item from the Display drop-down list and click Go. You can view information about idle time, data rate, signal strength and so on; all of which are described in detail in the table below.
Unied Access Point Administrator’s GuideUnied Access Point Administrator’s GuidePage 107May 2016Section 9 - Clustering Multiple APsA session in this context is the period of time in which a user on a client device (station) with a unique MAC address maintains a connection with the wireless network. The session begins when the client logs on to the network, and the session ends when the client either logs off intentionally or loses the connection for some other reason.Note: A session is not the same as an association, which describes a client connection to a particular access point. A client network connection can shift from one clustered AP to another within the context of the same session. A client station can roam between APs and maintain the session.To manage sessions associated with the cluster, click Cluster > Sessions.Figure 65 - Manage Sessions Associated With The ClusterDetails about the session information shown is described in the following table.Field DescriptionAP Location Indicates the location of the access point.This is derived from the location description specied on the Basic Settings page.User MAC Indicates the MAC address of the wireless client device.A MAC address is a hardware address that uniquely identies each node of a network.Idle Indicates the amount of time this station has remained inactive.A station is considered to be idle when it is not receiving or transmitting data.Rate The speed at which this access point is transferring data to the specied client.The data transmission rate is measured in megabits per second (Mbps).This value should fall within the range of the advertised rate set for the mode in use on the access point. For example, 6 to 54 Mbps for 802.11a.Signal Indicates the strength of the radio frequency (RF) signal the client receives from the access point.The measure used for this is a value known as Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI), and will be a value between 0 and 100.RSSI is determined by a mechanism implemented on the network interface card (NIC) of the client station.Rx Total Indicates number of total packets received by the client during the current session.Tx Total Indicates number of total packets transmitted to the client during this session.Error Rate Indicates the percentage of time frames are dropped during transmission on this access point.Table 60 - Session ManagementSorting Session InformationTo sort the information shown in the tables by a particular indicator, click the column label by which you want to order things. For example, if you want to see the table rows ordered by signal strength, click the Signal column label. The entries will be sorted by signal strength.
Unied Access Point Administrator’s GuideUnied Access Point Administrator’s GuidePage 108May 2016Section 9 - Clustering Multiple APsConguring and Viewing Channel Management SettingsWhen Channel Management is enabled, the UAP automatically assigns radio channels used by clustered access points. The automatic channel assignment reduces mutual interference (or interference with other access points outside of its cluster) and maximizes Wi-Fi bandwidth to help maintain the efciency of communication over the wireless network.You must start channel management to get automatic channel assignments; it is disabled by default on a new AP.At a specied interval, the Channel Manager maps APs to channel use and measures interference levels in the cluster. If signicant channel interference is detected, the Channel Manager automatically re-assigns some or all of the APs to new channels per an efciency algorithm (or automated channel plan). If the Channel Manager determines that a change is necessary, that information is sent to all members of the cluster and a syslog message is generated indicating the sender AP, new and old channel assignments.The Channel Management page shows previous, current, and planned channel assignments for clustered access points. By default, automatic channel assignment is disabled. You can start channel management to optimize channel usage across the cluster on a scheduled interval.To congure and view the channel assignments for the cluster members, click the Channel Management tab.Figure 66 - Automatically Manage Channel AssignmentsFrom this page, you can view channel assignments for all APs in the cluster and stop or start automatic channel management. By using the Advanced settings on the page, you can modify the interference reduction potential that triggers channel re-assignment, change the schedule for automatic updates, and re-congure the channel set used for assignments.Stopping/Starting Automatic Channel AssignmentBy default, automatic channel assignment is disabled (off).Note: Channel Management overrides the default cluster behavior, which is to synchronize radio channels of all APs across a cluster. When Channel Management is enabled, the radio Channel is not synced across the cluster to other APs. •) Click Start to resume automatic channel assignment.When automatic channel assignment is enabled, the Channel Manager periodically maps radio channels used by clustered access points and, if necessary, re-assigns channels on clustered APs to reduce interference (with cluster members or other APs outside the cluster).•) Click Stop to stop automatic channel assignment. (No channel usage maps or channel re-assignments will be made. Only manual updates will affect the channel assignment.)
Unied Access Point Administrator’s GuideUnied Access Point Administrator’s GuidePage 109May 2016Section 9 - Clustering Multiple APsViewing Current Channel Assignments and Setting LocksThe Current Channel Assignments section shows a list of all access points in the cluster by IP Address. The display shows the band on which each AP is broadcasting (a/b/g/n), the current channel used by each AP, and an option to lock an AP on its current radio channel so that it cannot be re-assigned to another. The following table provides details about Current Channel Assignments.Field DescriptionIP Address Species the IP Address for the access point.Radio Identies the MAC address of the radio.Band Indicates the band on which the access point is broadcasting.Current Indicates the radio Channel on which this access point is currently broadcasting.Status Shows whether the radio is up (on) or down (off).Locked Click Locked to force the access point to remain on the current channel.When Locked is selected (enabled) for an access point, automated channel management plans will not re-assign the AP to a different channel as a part of the optimization strategy. Instead, APs with locked channels will be factored in as requirements for the plan.If you click Apply, you will see that locked APs show the same channel for the Current Channel and Proposed Channel elds. Locked APs will keep their current channels.Table 61 - Channel AssignmentsViewing the Last Proposed Set of ChangesThe Proposed Channel Assignments shows the last channel plan. The plan lists all access points in the cluster by IP Address, and shows the current and proposed channels for each AP. Locked channels will not be re-assigned and the optimization of channel distribution among APs will take into account the fact that locked APs must remain on their current channels. APs that are not locked may be assigned to different channels than they were previously using, depending on the results of the plan.Field DescriptionIP Address Species the IP Address for the access point.Radio Indicates the radio channel on which this access point is currently broadcasting.Proposed Channel Indicates the radio channel to which this access point would be re-assigned if the Channel Plan is executed.Table 62 - Last Proposed ChangesConguring Advanced SettingsThe advanced settings allow you to customize and schedule the channel plan for the cluster. If you use Channel Management as provided (without updating Advanced Settings), channels are automatically ne-tuned once every hour if interference can be reduced by 25 percent or more. Channels will be re-assigned even if the network is busy. The appropriate channel sets will be used (b/g for APs using IEEE 802.11b/g and a for APs using IEEE 802.11a).The default settings are designed to satisfy most scenarios where you would need to implement channel management.Use Advanced Settings to modify the interference reduction potential that triggers channel re-assignment, change the schedule for automatic updates, and re-congure the channel set used for assignments. If there are no elds showing in the Advanced section, click the toggle button to display the settings that modify timing and details of the channel planning algorithm.
Unied Access Point Administrator’s GuideUnied Access Point Administrator’s GuidePage 110May 2016Section 9 - Clustering Multiple APsField DescriptionChange channels if interference is reduced by at leastSpecify the minimum percentage of interference reduction a proposed plan must achieve in order to be applied. The default is 75 percent.Use the drop-down menu to choose percentages ranging from 5 percent to 75 percent.This setting lets you set a gating factor for channel re-assignment so that the network is not continually disrupted for minimal gains in efciency.For example, if channel interference must be reduced by 75 percent and the proposed channel assignments will only reduce interference by 30 percent, then channels will not be re-assigned. However; if you re-set the minimal channel interference benet to 25 percent and click Apply, the proposed channel plan will be implemented and channels re-assigned as needed.Determine if there is better set of channels everyUse the drop-down menu to specify the schedule for automated updates.A range of intervals is provided, from 30 Minutes to 6 MonthsThe default is 1 Hour (channel usage re-assessed and the resulting channel plan applied every hour).Table 63 - Advanced Channel Management SettingsClick Apply under Advanced settings to apply these settings.Advanced settings will take effect when they are applied and inuence how automatic channel management is performed. Viewing Wireless Neighborhood InformationThe Wireless Neighborhood shows up to 20 access points per radio within range of every member of the cluster, shows which access points are within range of which cluster members, and distinguishes between cluster members and non-members.Note: The Wireless Neighborhood page shows up to 20 access points per radio. To see all the access points detected on a given cluster access point, navigate to that cluster member’s web interface and go to the Status > Neighboring Access Points page.For each neighbor access point, the Wireless Neighborhood view shows identifying information (SSID or Network Name, IP Address, MAC address) along with radio statistics (signal strength, channel, beacon interval). You can click on an AP to get additional statistics about the APs in radio range of the currently selected AP. The Wireless Neighborhood view can help you:•) Detect and locate unexpected (or rogue) access points in a wireless domain so that you can take action to limit associated risks•) Verify coverage expectations. By assessing which APs are visible at what signal strength from other APs, you can verify that the deployment meets your planning goals.•) Detect faults. Unexpected changes in the coverage pattern are evident at a glance in the color coded table.

Unied Access Point Administrator’s GuideUnied Access Point Administrator’s GuidePage 121May 2016Appendix B - Conguration ExamplesConguring Client QoS This example shows how to enable client QoS, congure an ACL and a DiffServ policy on the AP, and to apply the ACL and the Policy to trafc transmitted from clients associated with VAP 2 and received by the AP.The IPv4 ACL is named acl1 and contains two rules. The rst rule allows HTTP trafc from the 192.168.1.0 subnet. The second rule allows all IP trafc from the management station (192.168.1.23). All other trafc is denied due to the implicit deny all rule at the end of the ACL. The ACL is applied to the inbound interface on the AP so that packets are checked when the AP receives trafc from associated clients.The DiffServ policy in this example shows how to establish default DiffServ behavior for clients associating with the VAP that do not obtain a DiffServ policy name through the RADIUS server. Voice trafc (UDP packets) received from clients in the 192.168.1.0 subnet that has the VoIP server as its destination address (192.168.2.200), is marked with the IP DSCP value for expedited forwarding so that it takes priority over other trafc.Conguring QoS by Using the Web InterfaceACL Conguration1.)
